So calming and challenging at the same time. Beautiful.

That was a beautiful practice. I feel so open and aware of sensation in parts of my body I seldom think of. Thanks Jeanie!

Solid class. Perhaps more Advanced Beginner than Intermediate, but very good instruction. Not sure why some people complained about too much talking... Obviously they have not taken classes from some of the major chatter boxes in YogaDownload!

Absolutely great for anyone who wants to get a real pigeon going. Many classes don t show you how to do a true pigeon. Nice flow. Well done.

I greatly enjoyed this class -- one-legged pigeon is something I definitely wanted practice with! It guided me easily into it. However, I was very distracted by how the models moved into the next pose or modification before the verbal instruction was given. It made me pause and wonder if I was missing something or doing something wrong. My yoga teachers always warned against thinking ahead and moving into the pose before the cue is given, and I never realized how distracting it was until I saw it happen. =( Overall a great practice though!

I know it is an intermediate class but way too much talking. I expected more calming, soothing instructions.

I love all of Jeannie s classes. In response to other comments, I can understand how if you re not practiced in the Anusara tradition the language may be unfamiliar...But it is classically Anusara themed and based on the alignment cues, and the class is labeled under its appropriate discipline. Takes some getting used to but once it sinks beyond the mind and into the body its a beautiful practice. I enjoyed, Thank you

(30 mins) Very energizing! I only wish there was more time with the actual goal pose before savasana.

I felt like it was a lot of talking. I did appreciate the creativeness in her cues, I couldn t necessarily follow along with what she was saying & couldn t relax into the pose because of the talking

At first I wasn t sure if I was going to enjoy this video. Within several minutes I was into it and felt like it picked up.

I have to agree with other reviewers that this class is hard to focus on because of the instructor s talking. Her instructions are not very clear ("arm bones" is not a specific body part!) and my thoughts kept wandering. I would like more classes focused on king pigeon pose though!

Thanks for making king pigeon seem so much more accessible!

I did the free 20 min version of this class and based on that I would not purchase this class. The class began with several minutes of talking, and this continued through the class. As other reviews have said, I found the amount of talk to be distracting - it was hard to separate the movement cues from the other talk. When there were cues, they were hard to follow and often required pretty high levels of previous yoga knowledge, "take a vinyasa" or "move to chataranga" without any other cues to let you know what that meant.

I would like to work more on pigeon pose, but this will not be a class I would attempt again.

I did the 30 minutes class many times over the last year and liked it in general. Since I have built up my regular practice to a full hour I recently downloaded the full 80 minute video version and it is now in my favorites folder. I enjoy pigeon pose and I appreciated the multiple ways I was taken into it, each time a little deeper. One day I will be able to do the full mermaid pose without falling over! The meditative reminders helped me stay connected to my practice. The movements into each pose also kept me mindful of my body and breath.

Unfortunately, I have tried this class twice and have not been able to practice it. My main problem is the audio quality. The voice track is too low and when I turned the volume up to hear better, the music came in too loud and overwhelmed the voice again. I ve tried it on different speakers and have no volume problems with about 18 different YDL classes. It looked like a good class based on the preview, however it s staying on the shelf for me.

This was a pretty good class but I was going off of the audio version and, like other reviewers, was confused by some of the cues. It seemed like some of the cues were more instructive on the opposite leg, after we had done the first side. I was worried about injury.
However, I did get a good stretch in my lower back and loosened up my hips.

Overall, this class, to me, is ok, alas 3 stars. I would do it again but I would probably check out the video version instead.
