Christen Bakken

Vinyasa yoga is often described as movement linked with breath. In our lives off the mat, action is often where our focus tends to drift, but we can become so action-oriented that there is no time for breath or pause. In this balanced sequence, we will practice letting the breath initiate the movement- rather than the movement initiating the breath. In the flow part of the sequence, we will use each part of the breath cycle to guide our movement. In our standing and balancing sequence, our actions may be subtle, but they will follow the guidance of the breath. Each inhale offers the opportunity to grow and each exhale offers the opportunity to surrender. Who knows when your breath might start to guide your actions off the mat? Perhaps even people in your life will begin to trust the breath in their own challenges and triumphs. Expect to sweat, be challenged, and find a sense of peace in this well-rounded practice.

This is a great class for a day when you feel a little sluggish--it has a slow buildup, and the poses are the classics, but I ended up getting a good workout and feeling energized! And Christen is, as always, a calm and encouraging instructor.

Wow! Yes, again, WOW! A great, all over stretch, strengthen, move and breath! Christen has done it again. A powerful flow without over doing it. Reminders not only to breath but breath to initiate any movement. She really keeps you in the now with classic powerful poses and smooth transitions with out feeling like just another flow class. AND I can t thank you enough for the new background music!!!!!

This is the second class I have taken by Christen. I just love her! It is challenging, but not overly so for a beginner. I love the total body workout of standing, balancing, and core. I tend to lose my breath in movements and love the reminders to breathe. I will be taking this one again and trying all of her others.

Another great class from Christen. Very relaxing but just enough to make you sweat! Nice paced flow with modifications for extra stretching! Perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

Nice class. I m an advanced beginner and this was just right, not too easy, not too challenging. Great cues from the instructor, who has a nice, calm and positive voice and attitude. Good hip opening and balances.

I can t express how much I adore this class. The cueing, the inspirational comments, and even the music was beautiful. I got my heart rate up and feel like I got a great work out. The dedicating the practice to someone who needs to take a breath was so sweet. I love combining spirit and movement. Namaste

Oh Christen how I love you! This class is excellent. In includes twisting, balancing, some core, bridges and all in a nice flow. it isn t fast-paced but I did work up slow sweat and my legs and arms were shaking by the end. Then there s Christen who is always inspiring and offers thought provoking words that just seem to put things in perspective.

All my favorites in one practice that was slow enough to feel intense and cleansing. All of Christen s classes are great and this one is no exception.
