Although I don t know the difference of restorative yoga and yin yoga, I like this type of yoga. It is relaxing but requires me to be patient. In this class, every pose takes much longer than I expected, but that really makes me "sink in" the pose, and my muscles started giving up. It is interesting, but I learned that it takes time and stillness to get the ultimate point. Thank you.

I didn’t enjoy the first half of the class. None of the poses felt comfortable or very restorative for me but I’m glad i didn’t quit as the second half was much more restorative. I’m glad someone below mentioned about the music cutting off during supine twist as it meant I was able to relax more.

My hips are often achy, so this yin-like class is just what I needed with the long holds and cultivating stillness. Thank you!

I have a terrible time with hip pain and lower back stiffness. This is the first program that I felt really stretched all the different muscles in my hips in a slow, gentle class. The first time I did the class, I had an immediate sensation of relief in my hips and back. This class will be a twice a week staple to keep my hips stretched out. Thank you for a wonderful class!!

I certainly wouldn t call this restorative. It was a beautiful yin class.

I modified the first pose so that my back was supported by a wall, this took the pressure off my wrists and arms and allowed me to more deeply release into the posture.

I enjoyed the wrist exercise, although I agree it would have made more sense to do it after the first pose (if you don t use the wall for support).

Very relaxing and calming. I really enjoyed the class.

The music ....meh...either find several tracks that blend seamlessly or ditch it.

Nice restorative class. The first pose is tough on the wrists. The high bridge is a real challenge.

More Yin than Restorative. I like that the instructor allowed a lot of silent time...but would have liked a bit more explanation of the poses & their purpose. Not sure why the wrist stretch was sequenced in the center of a hips practice?
Do beware of the music s sudden end during the middle of the 2nd reclining twist - your video didn t end, so no need to jump up to check!

As I got older, I found myself loving the yin/restorative style of yoga. I love what these classes do for me emotionally, physically and mentally; the long holds test my ability to free my mind and trust that my breath will release any tension and stress in my body. I love the hip opening sequences because it is not the usual sequences that I see here on yoga download. The various supta baddha konasanas with the bolsters seem simple but I felt it throughout my hips because of the long holds.
Love this class! Thank you!

I felt like this was great for the hips... But the holds for each pose were way too long. Also, the video just kind of stops During shavasana and I missed having the normal end of class wrap to say namaste to the instructor. I might do this class again but I would take it at my own pace and add a few other poses

It is hard to slow down for a whole hour, but sometimes we just need to. Channing s class is perfect--enough instruction to get the most out of the practice, but not too much chatter. Really an excellent class!

A nice yin-like restorative class, however it did not seem to me to really focus on the hips. The music abruptly stops during the supine twist, which made me think the video had stopped.

Lovely class with good instruction, very simple poses with long holds. Finding stillness is a good challenge for your body and mind, this is a great class to cultivate that.

Holding some of these holds were difficult but the results were great! I was hurting in my upper back and releasing tension in my hips really helped ease the pain. Go figure.

Holding the poses for such long periods was hard sometimes, but this was a great meditative session! I will be doing this one when I really want to relax and get centered.

The long holds were some time challenging. But great for my body. Thanks!
