Nice class. Starts with a flow. Then long holds with excellent alignment cues.

I felt like the cueing was lost in the abundance of additional conversation. As I beginner I need clear cues and less chat.

This was good, but a little too challenging for an absolute beginner. (I noticed while the class description says "beginner", the video title card says "advanced beginner".Perhaps it is mislabeled) I will come back to this when I have built a little more flexibility. I think it would be a good idea to show some more modified versions of some of the poses for newbies.

This class was ok, but probably could have been about 10 minutes shorter. The descriptions of each pose took so long that it ended up feeling very disjointed. Also, I don t feel poses like Double Pigeon and the Rock the Baby pose are beginner, especially when no modification was given.

I really liked this class. I am out of yoga shape due to wrist issues and this was challenging enough but not too stressful on wrists. Great hip and shoulder work. I will definitely come back to this one.

Thank you Nancy for the wonderful class. I feel so centered and relaxed. Your explanations of what the poses are doing for our body is great. I will definitely use this class as one of my regular practices.

I like Nancy s teaching, but this wasn t my favorite class.
I have some knee trouble with deep squats and these were held too long for me. I also think that this class would be better classified as advanced beginner.
I did like the shoulder and tricep stretches and the hip work.

Nancy seems like a sweet lady, but I wasn t a huge fan of this class :( I found her explanations of the poses to be very drawn out and confusing. Much of what she was describing made no sense to me (lift your inner ankle??) and it was hard for me to hold the poses all the way through her explanations.

For me, a true beginner with only a couple of weeks of practice...too advanced. Also, if you have knee issues, it s not for you.

You are crazy if you think this is beginning level.

Really great class. First time motivated to write a review. Soothing yet active. A well-cultivated class. I will definitely be trying her other classes.

My husband did Yoga with me for the first time tonight and this was the perfect pick. Great flow for me and great instruction for him.

Loved this one! Her explanations were great, and I really enjoyed the transitions. Mixing it up with standing verse seated was great too. After hard training sessions, I will absolutely be using this one again.

Great class! I too loved the shoulder and tricep strengthening excise with the strap. I have never done that pose before. I bet I feel it tomorrow! Nancy s voice is so soothing too. :). I didn t want the floor stretches near the end of the classes to end. It was very relaxing.

This practice gets five-stars just for the fabulous shoulder-opener with the strap after halfway through (if you don t have a strap you can use a tie - or will even get a great opening just by lifting your arms.) I have perma-tight shoulders and upper back and this was one of the best things I have ever experienced. I felt like I was in excellent hands with this teacher and her soothing, calm voice and clear instructions with a sense of humor. Loved it.

I really like Nancy s classes. She is very specific and instructive but she also has a nice, calm presence and a sense of humor. This practice is great for a beginner or someone who has been doing yoga forever but feels like a slowed-down approach. And it s a bit of a refresher because sometimes our practices get habitual and Nancy has a way of bringing us back to the moment.

Challenging class as usual from Nancy, but I feel great! Thanks.

Your Daily Practice was a nice, gentle way to practice today. I got deeper in extended side angle than ever before. I appreciated a gentle class after doing so much power yoga!

Easy to follow. I did find some of the poses challenging for a beginner level.

This is a really great, opening, yet relaxing session. The instructor goes slowly allowing beginners time to move into the positions, then gives just enough time holding the position that you feel it. Perfect anytime.

This was the class that I chose for my husband s first ever yoga class. It was a great intro for him, and a great class for me to get back onto my mat. The hip opening effects were amazing!

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 simply because we did find it frustrating that Nancy didn t give the absolute beginner mods until later, sometimes at the end of each pose. For me, I knew which mods I needed to do, but for my husband, who had never done yoga before, he found that difficult. If you are brand new to yoga, this is a GREAT class, but I highly recommend watching it through one time before you actually go through it, so that you can see her modifications for the poses that you may find difficult.

Thank you Nancy for a lovely practice, we will be doing this one again! :)
