Thank you for this class. I am doing Yoga off and on for over 20 years. Recently I got back and noticed I am doing something terribly wrong with forward bends, yet I absolutely need them. It is very easy for me to sit in full lotus, but a seated forward bend stops with me, where it starts with others. So naturally I tried improving it, looking at my shadow within this asana. It just didn t really work. Instead, the next days I had inflamed tissue around the sacrum and couldn t do Yoga for a few days.

I was thrilled to find a technique class here and knew it was going to help me. In fact, I did this 70 minute forward bending and felt free and strong the next days - not inflamed. Not only that, the pace, the neatly explained individual adjustments, that I really used, were helpful to connect better with my body. It helped to know, I do something good and I could trust, I am taking care of myself. And on top of that, I was able to sink into the asanas emotionally and mentally, reaching more and more the issues underlying my difficulties with forward bends. I even found - in this great variety of forward bends that are given here - one specific asana that I could emotionally, mentally and physically sink in so deeply that I felt flowing and diving through time and space. I could have stayed there fore many many minutes (and I will actually do that next time by pausing the video).
I will come back often to this class and I am sure I will always find out something new about myself.

Superb! Patrick breaks down the poses making them more accessibile but also more precise than in faster-paced classes. As a Yoga teacher I truly admire the detailed focus on posture and alignment of this not easy but highly rewarding class.

first off, this is by no means easy so do not be misled. it is however a very good class. excellent instruction. i learned a lot of valuable tips. probably needs to be done weekly to gain the most benefit.

As a Yoga instructor and an Iyenga practicioner for years i think this class was excellent. The instructor demonstrated knowledge of alignment and concern that people did posture correctly so they dont hurt themselves. This is an excellent practice for everyone.
Thank you so much.

This is my first YD class (I just joined today and usually use My Yoga on Gaia). Gotta say, I am really impressed by the alignment focus of this class. I m an Iyengar teacher by training and it s my preferred method. Alignment classes - and poses taught using the Sanskrit names - really appeal to me.

As a runner, the long, deep holds are exactly what I need for my very tight hamstrings. Thanks so much for this awesome class!

I really enjoyed this class, some of the poses were hard work especially with my post surgery knees, but they were all accessible and the the instructor offered variations throughout. The instruction was of a very high quality and I will look for more of his classes now. Thank you.

Excellent class! Thoroughly enjoyed the pace and focus of this class. You won t get very sweaty, but that doesn t mean it isn t tough! Some very intense stretches - just what I needed after a long workday - and I found the class to be very meditative as well, allowing you the time to settle into your body while also allowing your mind to become calm as you practice. The teacher is very detailed in his anatomical explanations and instructions but doesn t chatter overly much. Really nice :)

I am very much enjoying this instructor s keen focus on form, although I would not rate this practice for all levels, as the seated postures are advanced.

This is the first of Patrick s classes that I have taken. I started the class with some mild low back stiffness, and was easily able to stretch out the kinks. I felt more intensity in my hamstrings by the end of the class. Patrick s cues are detailed, yet easy to follow. Nothing is rushed, and I appreciated holding the poses for longer periods of time.

Patrick is very thorough and explains how each body part should behave in each pose without extraneous conversation. He takes advantage of the time one needs to hold a pose to cover the details and to remind you of breathing and contracting and aligning. Although it is a long class, you never feel like you are just sitting there and wasting your time; every minute is valued and used well.

Very good technical tips to improve the postures. Would be nice to have some options when deep knee bends are required for sitting positions for people with less flexibility and/or bad knees. Thank you.

A detailed class which pin points finer body adjustments to get a deeper stretch. I feel that I have been well supported in finding areas to stretch that I do not get in most classes- especially inner thighs and hamstrings. Only warning is that some of the poses can put pressure on the knees - folding one leg under the other. Will do again for deeper stretching.
