Confusing cues. Top of the mat, then back of the mat ... I stopped middle of the class. Frustrated that I can t find a teacher meeting my needs. Maybe it s just me.

I had an epiphany that I wasn’t expecting during this class. I guess that’s the nature of an epiphany isn’t it?

My parents passed away several years ago, but my mother is always with me. She manifests in many ways that I can easily recognize. I’m always wondering my father never “visits”. And then it occurred to me. I never slow down long enough to let him in. He was a quiet man; spiritual and earthy. I have to slow down so that he can get in.

Everyday I wake up with a list of things to do. They’re things I love to do; but I don’t allow much space to feel or just be “enough”.

Today I dedicate my practice to my father. I dedicate the day to my father. I’ll go about my day as usual, but with more presence and intention. Well, that’s what I’m going to try anyway! I’m only human!

My father was not a big, boisterous man. He was quiet and I realize that when he visits, it will be a small, quiet moment that I need to be present for.

What kind of drug was in that yoga class?? LOL. I thought it was worth sharing anyhow.

This class got me moving, sweating & in a trance with my breath & flow. Christen is a great teacher, and states some simple, insightful & relevant quotes that resonate through the practice. I really enjoy her teaching method, and feel wonderful after taking this class. It is the perfect balance of movement & mindfulness to bring everything into perspective and feel motivated in life. Thank you!

Another great class from Christen! It gets you flowing and sweating and limber and feeling good. In response to other reviews, I d like to add that I think this class deserves the full "bring a towel" rating, although most of that is in the (a) quantity of movement and (b) number of chaturangas. (This class is not, for example, a major glutes workout, nor does it have any core crunches, etc.) I d also say to those who complained of too much down-dog: I ve heard it said that down-dog is an advanced "resting" posture, so in those "long" down-dog moments, if it s not restful for you, go for child s pose! (I did!) In summary, it s a great class and you should try it! :)

Christen, you are such a bright star. Thank you for a lovely, dynamic class that soothed my aching, post leg-day hamstrings. It felt so good to get warm and then to get bendy. :) There are people that add to this Earth, and you are one of them. It s a joy to take your classes.

Way too much time in downward dog. I like the sequences but there is too much "down" time, pun intended :)

Sometimes I want a class with challenging poses and other times I just want to move. This class is definitely the latter. The first 45 minutes is full of great, active flows and the last 15 is nice deep stretches.

I would say this is more "you ll feel it". That said, there is about 35 minutes of solid flow before settling down to some nice long holding stretches. The flow sequence was different and really fun. Nothing real challenging, so accessible to all levels, and a great practice overall.

Enjoyed the class. The flows were good with great explanations all the while just enough supportive narrative to keep me going. The stretching at the end was good.

There is no need for a towel in this class, but the flow is good.

Great everyday yoga. Easily modifiable, but also gets your heart pumping even if you re more advanced.

Simply Amazing, Bakken has a keen & intuitive perspective of a yogi s mind and delegates accordingly. This video holds a key position on my recycle list.

This was a unique and relatively challenging vinyasa class. I enjoyed the flow and the stretching at the end. I like Christen s classes overall. This one wasn t my favorite, but it was definitely good.

Awesome, awesome class. It didn t feel too hard, in the sense that I wanted to quit halfway through. It s doable, but challenging. The teacher s style is awesome - great sense of humour which keeps it fun!! Will be adding this to my favourites :)

Oh. My. Goodness. This class is amazing! Christen Bakken delivers as always. The first 45 minutes are some SERIOUS vinyasa, the last 15 some deep stretching. One of the best classes I ve taken. Thank you thank you!

Great class that delivers just as advertised. As usual, Christen takes you through a creative flow with a light hearted series of cues, and just enough talking to keep things interesting. I loved the series of wheel poses.
