Christen Bakken

Kali is known as "The Dark One" She is revered and often feared, but because she was able to explore her own darkness she did powerful work that others were unable. Even as a seasoned yogini, I run from the dark often. I am certainly still working to find comfort in the uncomfortable- like us all. In this slower paced, well-rounded practice, we will explore that which makes us uncomfortable. Through hip, hamstring, and heart openers this practice will bring new insight via what is not lit up....yet. The lessons available to us in the dark are different and equally as profound as those experienced in the light.

Christen says it moves slower, and it does but don t mistake that for not working up a sweat both physically and mentally. I did this class on a day I thought "I don t want to look inward", which is why I did it anyway, and so glad I did. I felt lightness inside and out. I am a big fan of this instructor and this class has kicked her up another notch!

Loved this class! Such a novel idea to request that we shut our eyes, to actually feel the pose fully. It was tough, but not too strenuous, very enjoyable, even the long frog! :)

Another fantastic class from Christen - love the different perspective and sensation of closing your eyes - actually really highlighted some alignment adjustments I needed to make. Looking forward to trying this one again!

Wow. That may have been one of the best classes I have taken on Yogadownload. Kristen takes you through a relatively simple flow several times and then you do it with your eyes closed. This sounds simple but was quite intriguing. Long series of balances building up to prone frog, ending with backbend.
I was spent physically & emotionally afterwards.
Kristen is one of the best instructors on yogadownload and this class is her best yet.

Yet another great class. This was just what I needed today - I do feel lighter. Prone frog was deceptively tough, but I feel much looser.

I loved this class! It was exactly what I was looking for today. It was a perfect mix of static and dynamic poses. It was tough holding frog for so long! Also enjoyed the metaphors and the purpose of the practice.

Wow. This was a great practice for mindfulness, for me. I love the use of the "dark" poses for inward reflection, and simply closing the eyes during common vinyasa was a powerful way of reconnecting with physical and emotional cues that had lapsed from my awareness. I found the message very reassuring and calming, and it s still a good workout, to boot.

Wow, such an excellent class. Love the long sequences with eyes closed. Perfect for a challenging day. My router made internet freeze up mid class and I felt Kali energy come right in. Thankfully this class helped me harness and see that frustration.
