I hope this practice helped your lower back feel GREAT! For another 10-minute low back pain practice, you might like to try this one as well: czcams.com/video/HZ5GNs0HTqw/video.html Well done! 🌟
Hi Joëlle, enjoyed this QL practice. The beauty of your 10 min routines is that in 30 mins, I was able to work on 3 different areas of my body that are asking to be worked on. Today I did the neck and quad routines in addition to QL! Thanks again🙏🏼
@@larrysiy4457 Wonderful combination once again!! So glad you liked this one too :-)
Hi Joelle, I discovered your channel about a month ago and I really love your 10 minute videos for various parts of the body. I’m less intimidated by short practices and I’ve slowly been able to do more and more by combining several of these for a little longer practice that focuses on the areas I need to work on. I suffer from low back and tailbone pain, so those videos have become almost daily for me-and now I’m also working my way through the chakras. Thank you so much!
I'm so happy to hear this Holly! Well done to you for figuring out what works best for you and sticking to it. And welcome to the community, so glad to have you here!
I am so grateful to have found this series, and you! I love the specific exercises for certain muscles, I had never heard of the QL until today, but boy did it need this. Thank you!
Day 2 Release 😉 Joelle, I have been practicing with you for a couple of months now, and this is my first time commenting. I have fibromyalgia and find your 10-20 minute videos perfect for gentle stretching and pain relief. This particular video is one of my favorites. I have had significant lower back, pelvic, and hip pain on my left side for 2 1/2 years, and this video made me aware that my QL is very tight. Thank you for educating me and helping me to find some relief! I love all your lower back and hip videos and try to do at least a couple each day. When I am having a really bad day, I will attempt to get through one and love hearing you say that "10 minutes a day, even if that's all we've got, can really make a difference." Thanks for that encouragement! 😊
Thank you for such a lovely comment, Heather! It's exactly this type of story that puts a smile on my face and makes me want to keep making videos 😊 I'm so happy you find these practices helpful and that you're learning what your body needs along the way. A huge gold star to you for staying consistent and taking good care of yourself! 🌟
Wow, thank you! I thought I knew anatomy pretty well, but I had never run across practices that addressed this specific muscle--and it is definitely where most of my low back tightness resides. This was super useful.
You're very welcome! The QL is one of those muscles most of us rarely think about, and yet it can be such a contributor to the health of our lower back - good for you for trying something new!
I didn’t even know it’s name,QL but I sure needed to find it and begin doing this routine. Thanks so much.
This practice has a lot of unique moves which stretch the QL. There are not many yoga vids out there which address the QL. Great work and I love it and so grateful for this! Would you be able to do a Part 2! That would be heaven sent ❤️🙏
I'm so glad you liked it! You might like to try my 3-day series for the lower back to see if you pick up a few extra moves 😉 You can find it here: lowback.joellefixson.com
Quite like this one. Love the forward fold turtle pose, especially with arms under the legs.
Almost every time I stretch my right leg to the side (like at 7:30), the outside of the right hip cramps. I assumed it's IT band related, but I have been doing the IT videos and it still does it.
Great job Katrina! IT bands can definitely be stubborn so I'd say that's not unusual. It might help to add in some clamshell exercises using an elastic band, those can really help strengthen the area.
I cannot thank you enough for these 10min classes!
I use them after work to reset myself for home💗
This one really hit the spot for me tonight💫 Thank you
Thanks Kelly! It's a tight spot for so many of us and we often don't even realize it! 😉
Hi Kelly!! Should've known we'd be drawn to the same yoga instructor! I am so happy I discovered Yoga with Joelle! I appreciate her excellent verbal cues. so nice to run across a friend online!
Thank you so much for creating this video. I had no idea how much this QL area had been neglected in my yoga practice. I have fibromyalgia and this area often hurts & I've had consistent spasms in my lower back for months now, but no relief from other lower back yoga videos. These stretches felt amazing and targeted the exact area I didn't even know I needed to target. Thank you again for your work! Namaste
That's wonderful news, well done Amanda! It's definitely one of those areas we could all give a little love to more often 😊
Thank you, Joelle, for this VERY effectively focused session. It's been so long since I studied our essential friends, the QL. I had forgotten, too, that they help in our breathing process. This short but useful practice was perfect~!!! We send you thanks!!!
Sending thanks right back to you Patrick!! It's definitely a tricky little part of the body!
Thank you for this series! It's making a signifigant difference in my lower back!
Thank you for sharing, Margaret! Glad it was helpful! 🙏🙏
Did the QL routine, followed by your 7 minute abs, and your upper body strength routines. Excellent full body workout and stretching with Joelle!
Thank you so much! It is a pleasure to practice with you! 🙏
Thank you so much, this helped me a lot post recovery of a back injury ❤
Thank You Joelle!! I have subscribe your videos, and Those for backpain, and I love them!
I'm so glad you like them Milhena, great job!! See you in the next one :)
Thank you! I found that VERY helpful. I’ll be doing this every day for a while until my QLs settle down! 😊
So glad it was helpful Cathy, look forward to practicing together again!
This flow was fantastic. I'm recovering from an injury in the sacrum from heavy lifting and also have standing job where I'm on my feet for 8 hours, and found that I'm over compensating with my QL muscle. This is going to help me significantly tend to my body through the weeks. Some unique stretches I have not seen before that felt so wonderful. Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed, thanks for practicing with me!
sending lots of incredible energy. I'm sitting up much straighter after a big QL release. I'll keep at it. 5 years, maybe I'll finally find peace this year. Bless.
I hope it continues to help 🙏
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your practice. So many of your yoga stretches have been wonderful. And your voice direction is calming. But more than the calming I can often just listen to you and know exactly what I'm to do. Thank you
Thank you Cindy, that is very kind of you! ✨
Day 2 Lower Back Series-Love this so much…so grateful-thank you🩷
Glad you enjoyed it Tabetha!
I am really enjoying working with you and hope too continue
I'm looking forward to it Elaine! 😉
This QL practice is so helpful, especially during the winter when my QL starts to ache. Would love to have more QL practices, especially a QL strengthening practice. This is the area of my body that seems to hurt the most in winter. I love all your lower back pain practices, but this one is helping me a lot now. Thank you Joelle!
Thank YOU! I'm really glad you like it. We talk quite a bit about the QL in my lower back workshop if that's of interest : yoga-with-joelle.teachable.com/p/workshop-low-back
Joelle, I strained my lower right back ~5 weeks ago. This video was my only relief, so I was 'stretching' up to 4 times/day. I couldn't keep up the first week, nor could I do all of the poses due to the pain. I recovered full mobility ~2 weeks ago and was able to resume normal exercise. I've added your videos to the end of my normal workouts. Thanks for the 28-Day challenge videos, daily picks are easy, no thinking required.
This is so nice to hear Stephanie, thank you for the comment. Good for you for being patient and listening to what your body needed. And I'm very happy to hear you're enjoying the 28-day challenge too! 🌟
I am glad i took these 10 min! 🎆 thank you Love
day 2 release, this one works wonders for my back.
I'm so glad - great job on the challenge, Nancy!!
Thank you ☺️🙏🌸
You're very welcome! 😊
Doing Day 2 - thank you
Wonderful, well done!!
Great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you Joelle, super helpful!
You're so welcome!
I keep coming back to this and it is really helping:)
Thanks!
You're very welcome, thanks for your generosity!
Thank you ❤!!
(I have a little pain in the left lower back. Your yoga is helping me to feel better 😘!)
Glad it was helpful, Alicia! 🙏
This is amazing thank you!
You're so welcome!
Soooo helpful for my damaged back xx
So glad it was helpful Kathy ✨
Day 2 Release! Thanks again Joelle!! I don’t recall doing this but have already liked it so I must’ve done it. Thanks to the challenge for bringing me back here. It was a good one! Will look for more to add today. Hope you’re enjoying your holiday break!
So glad you enjoyed revisiting this one Larry, it's a great one to come back to! 😉
Thanks for this great practice, Joelle!
Glad you liked it Lana!
Thank you Joelle. Very good practice. I'll put some up like this myself, to compliment, not compete! I'm much older but it's great to see how we can learn from one another. Thank you! I have been doing a lot of core strength work and my low back is gradually healing from alignment issues (I also write and sit a lot for long periods which is a hard self-sabotage!). Thanks again. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for joining me Lucy, really glad this one felt good to you!
I have Bertolotti syndrome and tons of other issues in my lower back area and this really helps me finding mobility and relieves pain. Thank you so much!
Oh I'm so glad it's helping 😊
I absolutely love these videos. I have fibromyalgia as well and these videos are helping me so much. Do you have a video for inner thigh pain? I’d love some deep stretches to help loosen this area! Thank you for making these amazing videos. I’ll see you back on the mat!
Hi Jacalynn, so glad you're enjoying them! I have several for inner thighs (if you search "yoga with joelle adductors" on CZcams I believe they should all come up), and I'd probably recommend starting with this one to see how it feels: czcams.com/video/jEE-D7sTNpk/video.html Hope they can help!
Hello Joelle, thank you :)
Thanks so much, really helpful👍
2nd day for lower back pain was great. hanks you Joelle. Waiting for 3rd day.
Great job! See you on Day 3 :)
I loooove your 10 minute practices. I never miss a day because 10 minutes is so accessible. You’re so creative - that knees-together cat cow really hit the spot!!! You are such a gift to us all. You’ve made my life immeasurably better. ❤
Thank you so much Marilyn! I am gad to hear you incorporate these daily, that is fantastic! 🙏 🙏
10 min classes is what we all need every morning!
Day 2 Release -- Well, who knew? You're right I didn't even know about this muscle and I did feel a good stretch. I'm not sure when Day 2 arrived in my in-box, but sure glad it did! Thanks Joelle. Going to do this other lower back practice you have tagged here as well. I may need to ask you to explain a few postures/poses for me. I got confused yesterday on a lower back practice about the entire sphinx sequence. But, I adore your detailed cues!
So glad you learned something about this sneaky little QL muscle!! Thanks for joining me, and of course, happy to help with any questions if I can :)
Thank you for this effective ten minute program.
I'm so glad it was helpful :)
These vids are awesome.
I get so tight and sore from martial arts, but I have no patience for yoga generally. Breaking it down into 10 min sessions is perfect. Actually starting to enjoy it 👍
I'm so glad to hear that Lena! 10 minutes really can make such a difference 😄
Oh wow 🤩 Joelle, this felt fantastic for my low back/fibromyalgia pain! You make moving through the pain enjoyable and relaxing! Thank you so much 😊
I'm so glad Cheryl! These are some of my favorites too! 😊
I love all of your small modifications on the poses such as the foot in front on the modified side plank, etc. Thank you Joelle!
You're very welcome, thanks for joining me!
Thank you so much
Sure needed this one today. 😊
Glad it hit the spot! ✨✨
This really help me a lot and the pain that I’ve had for a while really has gone. Going to use this a few times to keep it at bay.
Thank you.
That's such good news! I'll meet you on the mat to do it again 😉
Very nice. Thank you.
Day 2 Release! :D I am really enjoying your stretches for the lower back. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear it Erika 😊
Oh wow! That felt great. ❤
Yay! I'm so glad :)
Oh my goodness, I love you!! Thank you for this! Was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Yay, so glad it could help. Well done Bethany! 🙌
You’re Amazing Sweetheart! Love You! Great Practice! 💜💙❤️❤️💖😍😍❤️💙💜

Amazing job Maria ! 🙏

You're very welcome!
I love you my QL was killing today, and I'm a massage therapist! That frog pose really did it for me. Stay blessed.
Oh yay! Glad it helped :)
Thought this was totally awesome ..some exalent stretching..also exacuted the turtle pose %100 ...big thanks for this one 😉🙏
Day 2 Release. Very good exercises for me - thank you 🙏🏻
Very glad you enjoyed Day 2 Johnni!
FANTASTIC!
I loved this class. I have a stiff lower back and I awful with fwd bends and this is helping
I'm so glad this helped Patrick, great job! If you'd like to work on the key areas to improve your forward folds, this is another one you might like to try: czcams.com/video/b7X7xPVcDh8/video.html
Ahhhhh!!! This practice was sooooo releasing for all the tension I have had in my lower back, I coupled this with one if your hip practices and let me say my lower body hasnt felt this loose and free in such a long time! Thank youuuu
Oh that's wonderful !! Great job combining then to suit your needs :)
Best QL video on CZcams
Thank you Fred!
Thank you for such a wonderful class
You're very welcome Marie-Claire!
Day 2 release. I think this is the muscle that’s causing some of my problems, thanks for the stretches.
It's a sneaky little muscle for sure! Great job Angela 😊
This is incredible. Best lower back release I’ve done. Thank you.
You're very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it Kristi :)
I love these nature yoga practices!
Loved this. Perfect for my lower back. You are awesome!
Thank you! So are you!!
this was soooooooooooo good! Enjoyed it very much. Thank you, thank you
You're so welcome Linda!
This was perfect! Thank you so much, Joelle!
So glad you enjoyed it Wendy! 🌟
Hi Joelle this was so perfect for me. I've had pain in my lower back and back of my hips. I did your piriformis and SI practices but felt I was getting nowhere the pain & stiffness wasn't clearing up. I didn't know what was wrong then came across this one thought oh give it a go. My word I feel looser and pain is less. Thank so much for sharing this one. I will see if you have any more for the QL so I can swap about until it completely clears up ❤
Sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing. In the meantime, if you search "yoga with joëlle lower back pain" on CZcams, you will find a couple that may be helpful. I hope this continues to help 🙏 🙏
@@YogawithJoelle thank you. I enjoy your practice's. I woke today feeling less tension in my back and hips 😊
Your short sessions that target specific muscles have been so helpful! This one for the QL helped almost immediately with the part of my back that has been painful for months. I am impressed with your knowledge of what people need and how to help. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words Julie ! Have a lovely day :)
Perfect! Thank you SO much!
Glad it helped Julia!
This is a wonderful lesson ❤ Thank you
You're so welcome!
Wounderfull
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🙏
Thank you Joelle, this was great!! Effective and yet very gentle ❤️. Please keep it up!!
You're very welcome Lya! If you'd like I have a mini-challenge for low back discomfort that you may like to join me for (it's free) 😉 You can find it here: tinyurl.com/k65c8r5b
I just found you a few weeks ago & I’m so glad I did! Your classes are so therapeutic for me. My body felt amazing after this one. Thank You!! ❤️ 🧘♀️
It's so nice to have you with us Lizbeth! Thanks for your kind words 😊
I’m going to do these every day, thank you. My right side is very tight due to holding my daughter on the left side causing a hip imbalance.
Thanks for sharing Suzi! Hope this can be beneficial for you! 😊
This was an amazing release!! Everyone in the health and fitness community keeps stressing about "hip flexors" I stretch and strengthen mine but my hips are still tight with limited mobility, until I did a 10-15 minute QL stretch. My hips have not been tight or stinging for days!! The longest in years. About to watch this practice again.
Would love to see more QL practices, thank you Joelle, you are an amazing teacher and many of your Videos have some fresh out the box movements, I love it 💓
Thank you so much! I'm really glad this one felt good for you 😊 There is a HUGE link between the lower back and the hips for sure - and the QL is in my opinion 1 of the 4 key muscles around why we get tight or feel pain in these areas. If you're ever interested in diving in deeper on this, we go through more exercises and movements to assess the QL in my Secrets of the Lower Back workshop: tinyurl.com/2s3sknzh
I would love another QL video! One that was focused more on strengthening moves would be an awesome pair for this one!!!
I've found some videos that describe good exercises for the QL, but I'd love a video I can follow along with rather than pausing and doing them all by myself
Another excellent video ❤️! Thanks Jöelle! 🙏
You're so welcome Glori! 😃🙏
I can’t thank you enough for these wonderful practices. I’m a fan! 💜🙏💙
Thanks for joining me, I'm glad you like them ✨🙏
Thank you so much, Joelle! This was such a great, calm practice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
love your sequencing!!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much for this Joelle and keep them coming! First time I have seen the "turtle" pose and I feel like that works so well for me. We appreciate your great work!
You're welcome Steve, thanks for your kind words! Turtle is one of my favorites too, I'll have to work it into some upcoming practices again!
I’m so happy you did this! My back has been hurting for months and I had no idea where the pain started or what it was. Now I know it’s the QL and it feels so much better already. Thank you so much 😊 xxxx
My pleasure Sarah - so happy you figured this out, the QL can be a source of tension for so many of us! 😉
@@YogawithJoelle And I found your channel through the video for hip bursitis, which helped a bit and then did the 28 day challenge. It’s amazing how much better your body can feel with just 10 to 20 minutes yoga a day 🧘♀️😍🙏
@@sarahp3922 Ooooh, I wish I could print out this comment and laminate it! That is EXACTLY what I am hoping people will get out of practicing with me, and I'm so glad you feel the same way!!
Wow! Thank you Joelle for this amazing short lower back video! I have watched 100's of these and this one has to be one of the best I've came across, I'm adding it to my favorites and going to come back to this one weekly. So many juicy stretches for the hips, sides and lower back.
Thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed it :)
@@YogawithJoelle Yes it was great! I had so much energy all day as well today! Looking forward to the Day 3 video! :)
Felt great.i hav tight hips and after doing this practice i cud bend a little more further to the sides.thank u.pls di more videos on neck and middle bac too.
Glad this felt great! I have a few recent videos on neck and midback (czcams.com/video/DQ8GunkbqXA/video.html and czcams.com/video/gI6cmS7WWd4/video.html) in case you haven't tried them already!
Great, original set of excerices.
................
❤🌟👍🙏
Day 2 release. I have suffered with what feels like something going into a spasm just below my ribs on the left side for about 4 years now. It happens when I bend to put shoes on or twist to the left if I'm reaching for something. The doctor said nothing was wrong. For 2 years now I have had hip and lower back pain and I'm wondering if it's to do with the QL muscle. This video definitely helped the lower back pain. Thank you
I'm so glad it helped Denise
@@YogawithJoelle Would any of the hip pain routines help with hip impingement? Thanks
@@denisethomson9415 I'm sorry, but that's not something I know much about
Much appreciated Joelle 😊
Day 2 Release! :)
Great job Tony !
I didn't know what the QL was, but I know now! It could do with some stretching...
Well done! The QL is one of those muscles most of us never think about ... but once you know, you know!!
Thank you! You are beautiful!
Hello, really enjoed your video. Do you have any videos for TFL strengthening & hip flexor relief?
Glad you liked it! I've got quite a few, so I would suggest you search "Yoga with Joelle hip flexors" or "Yoga with Joelle IT band" on CZcams and they should all come up! Here's a hip flexor one to get you started: czcams.com/video/1v0qL8DOqe0/video.html
Thank you, this was great! Does it matter with which side I start when my problems are only on one side?
Thanks for joining me! Not necessarily, but I would recommend following the suggested sides from the video to avoid getting confused 😉
Day 2 Release
Great job!!
My right QL muscle have been tight in a year and a half now... I don't have any pain, but it feels like my legs are uneven. Hope this will work..
I hope you enjoyed it Cecilie!
I missed yesterday.
No worries Sara, I saw your other comment - great job finishing the challenge!
This is what I need. Dining room chairs were not designed for 10+ hour work days.
I couldn't agree more - well done!!
👌
