Really struggled and ended up doing a lot of my own freestyle as I just couldn t get in to some of the Poses. Felt there weren t enough options for adjustment, too many quick changes and props that weren t relevant. I don t like giving poor feedback to a fellow yoga teacher but if I m honest YogaDownload, this practice worried me a little.

Great first thing in the morning. Helped with any kinks in my back and neck.

This is the first class I ve not liked and won t be doing again, it wasn t very relaxing at all and I actually felt quite stressed trying to sort out the props and get them into position. My back is hurting a little following this practice so sadly I wouldn t recommend it, especially if you re fairly new to yoga.

This class is actually more like 20 minutes than 30 minutes. Many of the poses are awkward, especially the the back bend over the bolster. If you have knee or lower back problems this pose will wreck you and no modification is given. If you have a bolster than 3 blankets are not necessary. One is plenty. Ideally the poses would be held for 3 minutes instead of two.

I liked her soothing voice and the choice of poses, but was baffled by the 2 minute holds (why exactly 2 minutes for each pose? It felt rushed - I barely dropped in and boom we were off to the next one! I usually practice restorative holds for 3 - 20 min each), by her mentioning "set your timer" several times (I m following your video and your timer is going off - I don t need one), by the lack of instruction for people with less flexible bodies or chronic issues (a few examples: Tight hamstrings make getting legs all the way to the wall very difficult in viparita karani. What about those of us with knee issues that hurt in virasana? And how about a suggestion like using a folded blanket between the legs in the twists, to help keep the low back in a more neutral position?). And I ve never before been instructed to use ujjayi within a restorative practice - it was nice to even out and slow the breath, though. Overall this was a fine practice, just not my cup of tea. I d consider doing the sequence on my own with prop modifications and much longer holds.

I found that the instructor was not very soothing or relaxed but anxious and nervous. Did not get very good vibes through her body language or her tone of voice.

Short and so sweet! I ran a 10k race today and this felt like I d had a post-run massage. I recently bought a bolster and this was useful in this class. Great at stretching out the chest and heart.

This was lovely! I really enjoyed holding each of the gentle poses for two minutes. The 20-minute length was perfect. Jeannie s voice is soothing and gentle. The music was pleasant and provided a nice background. Even though I wasn t watching the video, the set was very nice.

Jeannie s right - this relaxing practice is good for creativity.

I sometimes forget to "fill up my gas tank," and just try to keep going. This restorative practice provided me with the physical and mental energy boost I needed.

Nice relaxing class that holds each pose for two minutes

Jeanie is just the best. This really helped my body relax and restore.

Really, really, really slow. You hold certain poses for two minutes each. Did I say it was really slow?

This took me from being so exhaustive that I felt like I was going to fall over to feeling peaceful and settled!

Too "choppy" to be relaxing and there is a need for too many props. Instructor had calming and soothing voice but at times appeared to forget next steps. Wouldn t do again.

I was feeling very hyper and overwhelmed. Once I completed this video, I felt relaxed and restored.
