Evening Yoga Routine Jason Crandell

Hatha | By Jason Crandell on Dec 04 2010
Unwind your hips, hamstrings and lower-back after a long-day. This evening sequence starts with reclined postures that will allow you to relax your mind and stretch your legs. It transitions to several long, slow, deep hip-openers, twists and forward bends. Expect to let go of stress and prepare for a quiet night.

    Jason, thank you once more for a calmer night , i feel more sane and grounded:)) ı have a question that is causing me a lot of pain. I am a regular student to yogaglo and practice almost everyday as i need to be connected to my body and self after being a psychotherapist all day 8+ hours but my neck and my back resist to relax and let go :( any particular advice? Thank you very very much.

      Zeynep - Glad you had a calmer night. Unfortunately, I can't answer general questions about pain in this forum. The issues that create pain are far too complex for me to provide feedback from afar. My only recommendation is to avoid postures in which you have pain. Best wishes.

    This is one of my favorite practices to do in the evening after hours stuck behind a computer. Thank you for developing this sequence.
    • Jason Crandell     Jan 11th, 2013
      Thanks Ginnie!

  • Lorraine Parkin     Oct 10th, 2012
    This was great Jason, thank you. I really paid attention to my shoulders tonight, and an hour after practising they feel so much better after being hunched over the computer all day!
  • Jason Crandell     Aug 21st, 2012
    Jack/Kenny - thank you!

    • YogaGlo     Jun 13th, 2012
      Marci - we just emailed you some tips to help troubleshoot.

  • Sarah Duncan     May 21st, 2012
    This is a wonderful end of the day practice after an early morning run and sitting at work all day. My tight hips and low back thank you! As do I. :D
  • Jason Crandell     May 21st, 2012
    Jessie Jessie - You've done a great job of identifying some the discomfort that you're feeling and the potential source of the discomfort. First, let me tell you that it is very difficult from afar to give much advice in this situation because I can't see your alignment, flexibility, strength, etc. Also, you should understand that my bias is to be conservative. SO, I'm inclined to tell you to minimize or avoid the actions that create the pain (in this case FB's) and do more of what doesn't create pain. Don't worry about whether or not FB's will work for you someday--work with this day and how you're feeling in it. I know this is easier advice to give than receive. That said, if reclined hamstring stretch and simple fb's like child's pose feel good they should bridge this gap. Otherwise, go with what is working well for now--and do not underestimate the importance of good, smooth, consistent breath when you practice! It has a very beneficial effect on the spine.
    • Jessie Bushnell     May 21st, 2012
      Jason - I really appreciate your input. I will follow your suggestions and will be patient with what my body is able to do, today. That simple truth of patience is so important to remember in any situation, yet so easy to forget! Thank you again.
  • Jessie Bushnell     May 19th, 2012
    Hi Jason, Thank you so much for your classes. I really value your detailed instruction, for it has greatly helped me understand my body in relationship to yoga so much better. I am excited to continue to grow within this practice with the help of you and the other awesome teachers on this site. I have a question for you...I have mild low back pain from sitting in an office chair all day. I've been doing your back-care video which helps a lot, and I'm grateful to have it as a go-to when needed. However, I'm concerned that when I do forward bends, my back hurts more. It even slightly screams but the pain occurs after the pose is over - not during the pose. It happened in this class, and has happened before too. You mentioned in your other low back care class to notice the symptoms, as if they were clues to helping you figure out what your back needs. So...I've gathered this clue, but I don't know what to do with it! :) I'd like to get better at forward bends eventually, but I want to respect that my body says "no," at least right now. Do you know what kinds of poses (or your videos or other exercises) that I should keep doing to help heal this situation? Thank you for reading this. I really appreciate your input.
  • Jason Crandell     Apr 14th, 2012
    Lynette - happy you found it too! thanks for your kind feedback
  • Lynette Lauterbach     Apr 12th, 2012
    Just what my body and mind needed after a crazy day of work. So thankful for finding YogaGlo and being able to take classes from such amazing teachers. Thank you, Jason.
  • Jason Crandell     Mar 6th, 2012
    Ginnie - it's my pleasure!!
  • Ginnie Schirmer     Mar 5th, 2012
    Thank you for permitting those of us who have physical restrictions to know that it's not always easy to work each pose to perfection. Injuries over the years can prevent the graceful bounding of muscle to expected posture.
  • Tammy O'Rourke     Oct 19th, 2011
    The side-opening stretches were awesome. Your teaching is so calming and peaceful.
  • Kimberly Stewart     Sep 27th, 2011
    So thankful to have found Yogaglo and especially Jason Crandell....LOVE his teaching style. This specific practice was very good to me. :-)
  • Anna Baca-Barnhart     Sep 17th, 2011
    Absolutely PERFECT, Jason. Much gratitude....
  • Andrew Gunsberg     Jul 10th, 2011
    Jason, as a guy with one tricky hip it's nice to see an instructor facing similar issues.. Thanks for the superb practice. Goodnight...
  • Jennifer O'Neill     Jul 6th, 2011
    Perfect for after showing 7 horses all day thanks
  • susan rubin     Jun 18th, 2011
    perfect for my tight back and legs. Thanks you. Jason, are you planning on doing more sequences to help with low back pain/tightness?
  • Stephanie Barton     Jun 10th, 2011
    A perfect way to end a hectic day...thank you Jason. Namaste.
  • dar carman     Jun 9th, 2011
    thank you for sharing great teaching namaste, dar
  • Kellie Holloway     May 29th, 2011
    Love this one! My low back was giving me nerve problems, and thanks to this routine I am feeling much better. Thanks, Jason.
  • Clarice Marchman-Jones     May 5th, 2011
    This is my favorite evening routine .... so far. So accessible and relaxing, yet I can feel some serious opening of my hips, hamstrings and lower back going on.
  • G.C. Aloha     Apr 18th, 2011
    Nice, gentle, relaxing practice. I really like your very grounded affect.
  • Erica Struble     Apr 16th, 2011
    I could tell today that my hips were out, so I was wanting a more relaxing and hip opening practice. Thank you for both! Om shanti.
  • Angela Gorden     Feb 19th, 2011
    Wonderful sequence. Love this evening practice. Thanks Jason.
  • Janet Chittock     Jan 22nd, 2011
    Gorgeous class. Think I might press pause in the postures next time for more a yin practice. Excellent, as usual. Thank you Jason.
  • Margaret Clark     Jan 20th, 2011

    Awesome relaxing practice - my desk back & butt say thank you! Namaste!
  • Ulrike Lipow     Dec 14th, 2010
    Having just done this for the first time I found it quite complex, but I know I will love it after a few repetitions and getting more into the "flow" of it. Thanks!
  • Melanie Faught     Dec 8th, 2010
    Really loved this evening practice. Beginning with Supta Padangusthasana was a great way to stretch the legs after a long day of sitting, and I really noticed how open my hamstrings were when I went into the first Downward Dog. Thanks Jason.
  • Julie Driscoll     Dec 6th, 2010
    My new favorite evening practice! Thanks very much.
  • Kate Boyden     Dec 6th, 2010
    This was the perfect post-weight room/post-run (for those longer runs) stretch! thx
  • yogagal      Dec 4th, 2010
    So happy to have an evening practice that un-winds all the "kinks" that accumulate during the day.
    Love the direction of your sequences lately. Thank you, You are the BEST!
  • Cathy Benthagen     Dec 4th, 2010
    Loved this calming and quiet practice for the evening...Thank you Jason
    Very relaxing!
