Busy playing catch up today after a busy weekend. I just took day 4's all level class (even though today is day 6!). Really enjoyed it! Hopefully I can squeeze in day 5's class this evening

I chose Pradeep's class and felt very energized. I always enjoy his energy and clear instruction. It was an excellent use of 30 minutes.

Oops… my last entry was for Day 5. Realized it too late. 🤦‍♀️ I’ll get it in the right spot. My apologies!

Today, I diverted again. Unfortunately, time being the issue. But I was determined to get on my mat and in a peaceful space today. So, I revisited another favorite — Elise’s “Quick Yin Fix.” I love that class is always there when I need it.
Looking forward to revisiting today (and yesterday) to experience the suggested classes. Thank you!

So good! Heal Thyself was just the class i needed today

(Commenting today about the class I did yesterday) I did the Free Flow w/ Pradeep and had a great experience. I loved the flow sequences!

Amazing Class with Pradeep! Omg! It was like a power flow! I must have done about 40 chattarangas. :) You do need to have energy for this class as it can be intense!

Enjoyed Christins class. Nice message!

Christen's "Love Thyself, Heal Thyself" included a little bit of spice to it with two rounds of side plank. Interesting skandasana movement too. I enjoy the variety of instructors offered by yogadownload.com

I picked Pradeep’s class tonight. I love his classes, but it’s been awhile since I’ve taken one and I forgot that it can be a bit challenging! I was also a bit sore from yesterday’s practice, as I found out. But I got through it and feel pretty good, but also more aware of the sore arms….
Sore Day 4, lol!

My resolution this year is to love myself more this year, so Christen's struck deep on a whole new level. Beautiful practice! Thank you!

Kristen's class was great! A strong practice that works the entire body. One more for my favorites.

DAY 4: I have just completed the Love Thyself flow with Christen. Felt completely amazing! I had some difficulties during the day and even ended up falling asleep in front of the TV. I'm glad I overcame my old tendency to procrastinate and went on my yoga mat for some practice. Thank you and namaste 🌺🧡🏵️🙏🏽

I diverted here on Day 4, but will revisit the offered classes another day. I was feeling the need for one of my favorites instead. So I did Keith Allen’s “Shoulder & Upper Body Love,” which is always like going to my favorite massage therapist. I can always count on that class to release tension in my upper body after a long day on the computer. Ahhhhh

Day 4 free flow was a great yoga class

Yoga Challenge with Post-Surgery Knee, Day 4: I did Christen's "Love Thyself, Heal Thyself" class. I've done it in the past and knew it was a good class for days when I'm feeling stiff. It was a terrific option, but it took me a bit longer than the 40 minutes because of my modifications and pausing the video so I could get up and down. (It takes me a minute to get up from the mat, but I'm getting braver and stronger the more I do this.) I am proud of myself for doing it and taking care of myself-- the message of self love and kindness hit home as my body is NOT where it was "back in the day." And I had more energy the rest of the day! Hooray!!

Enjoyed this class and the message, and really liked the double pigeon pose.

Christen’s class was pure magic. I was a lil grumpy and restless before my practice, but Christen guided me straight into the flow state. I ended the class feeling warm, tingly, and happy. This one went to the favorites. 💜

I enjoyed today’s Love Thyself, Heal Thyself class with Christen even though there were some challenging poses.

Day 4!! I completed Pradeep’s Free Flow. It was great and got my heart pumping and blood flowing. I feel good! Namaste 🙌🏽🧘🏽‍♀️👊🏾

Pradeep's class really got me moving this evening, but then when he slowed it down at the end I felt amazing. Fun class for when you really want to move!

I had time for a longer practice today, but I could not say no to Pradeep! It was the perfect remedy for my sluggish afternoon and I was super proud that I went into full wheel despite having not practiced that in a while. Love the challenge. 💪🏼Welcome home!

Thanks Christen. Wonderful class. A little confusing in the middle but I muddled through it. Great message.

I did Christen’s class today, and it was lovely. Just the right pace for me ☺️

Today I did Christen's class and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the right amount of challenge for me. I love the pace of a slow flow class.

I chose Pradeep's class today. Phew, that was speedy! Lol. I tried to put aside my want to slow down and just give in to the flow. Not easy for me. Great class! Welcome home! (Love that!)

Instead of one of the above options for today, I ended up going to an in person class with a friend. It was an hour slow flow, and we even drew affirmationcars for the new year. The class was a great way to connect with people and add to my Saturday morning schedule.

I chose Christen's class this afternoon after a long trail run this morning. I always enjoy her messages and her classes and I especially enjoyed today's message. I liked the flow. It was a right amount of challenge.

I'm pretty sure I did Christen's Love Thyself, Heal Thyself already. However, it was some time ago and she is one of my favorite instructors. So I chose her class for this cold Saturday afternoon. An amazing message and one that I needed to hear again. Thank you!

Christen's class was much slower than I anticipated since most of her classes are not and I still enjoyed it very much. Felt so good afterward! I might do pradeep next because his classes are always so fun!

I took Christen's class. I expected to be quieter, it was delicious though. Maybe I was tired and some times I found it a little bit demanding. It is always nice to practise with new teachers! Thanks

Pradeep never disappoints. I've not tried this class before. Fast paced and I struggled with the transition from child's post to down dog, but eventually got the hang of the pace and transitions. I feel great!

Christen's class had a great pace, feel good stretches and the right amount of challenge.

I chose Christen's class. I enjoyed the pace. A few things were challenging but all in all I enjoyed the class.

As soon as I saw Pradeep’s name, my decision was made! I’m a little rusty with my practice, so this class was fast-paced and challenging for me, but I did it! Love his energy and how I leave every class smiling. Welcome home!

Really appreciated Christen’s class and seeing yoga models in bigger bodies, not represented enough. Interesting transitions.

A bit too fast for me in Pradeep class. Though I made it through with a bit sweaty and feel ok afterward.

Two of my fave teachers. Had to pick a shorter, restorative class today but got on the mat and I will come back to try these out.

Happy Saturday! Been some time practicing with Pradeep so I did after a 1 hour intense cycle class. It was a very fast paced class but worth it. Breathing inhale and exhale throughout the class with Pradeep queues really help with every pose. I could not do some but held the pose going into it with inhale and exhale. Good thing my body was warmed up when I did this class. Overall; I challenged this 60 year old retired women and very pleased on how I did. Most importantly I came to my mat and practiced rather that see it rolled up in my yoga bag. Definitely added this to my favorites so I can do it after this 14 day challenge. Make today a great day! Namaste...

I chose Christen’s Heal Thyself class. Great challenge but also relaxing… in an invigorating way 😅 Great releases and interesting sequencing. Thank you for always bringing new great classes to YDL, Christen!

Pradeep always comes through with the challenging flow classes and I love it! His pace is what I needed today:)

Thank you!

I keep doing the classes and not commenting…smh. I liked the positive self talk in Christen’s class. Sometimes the spiritual talk is distracting to me but this was actually relatable.

With a back screaming at me and short on time, I stretched with Erin. Hope to get back to the mat with Christen after my gig today. Always hate to miss a chance to yoga with Chrisen! Om shanti

Since it’s Saturday I chose another longer class. Sorry, but I’ve got to take advantage of the days I have more time and can do a longer practice.

I felt I was on speed doing Pradeeps class and absolutely loved it!! No time to think and just do. I was laughing through out with the fast flow which made it so fun. Will do again!! 😊

I completed Pradeep’s class today. I love his flows! Thank you for a great class.

I am just starting Day 4 (haven't picked one yet) and will have time for a longer class. First day was 30 min, 2nd was Erin's neck and shoulder work and yesterday was a nice short but quick paced get-ready-for-work class. I enjoy these challenges because they give me a different focus for my mornings, esp before work. I work on my feet and usually practice yoga and stretch for my lower body; Erin's class let me mix it up as will today's. Helen in Boulder, CO

correction:
day 4 of the 14 day challenge. Linda from San Diego, CA here. I have a busy day ahead. I got up earlier to get in my yoga practice in. I am glad I did. I did the Love Thyself, Heal Thyself. Christen Bakken is a great instruction. She has very calming voice.

I chose Christen's class. It was a nice combination of flow, strengthening poses and stretches.

Pradeep's Free Flow class just made me happy - his message is always great and his classes are always a challenge!

Revigorating and challenging!

Classic Pradeep! If you ever wondered how many vinyasas can fit into less then 30 minutes, this class is for you.

Free flow class was impeccable.

I showed myself some love today with Christen. It was a nice practice to start the day with.

Today I could finally choose the intermediate yoga and we did it with my boyfriend together. Nice short but intsnese practice!

After a long hike in the snow, my hip hurt. I decided to exchange the suggested classes for a short Yoga & Mobility for Hips with Michelle. It felt so good! And then I added a longer Pilates class.

Felt great
