I almost didn t do this class because of the reviews. The class is not all that repetitive. There is one mandala sequence that is repeated three times total. Once slowly and two times more quickly.

As for the speed, the second and third repetition move quickly, breath to movement, but it matched my usual breaths perfectly.

Overall, I would say this is a you ll feel it, but on the more chill side. I broke a small sweat, but never felt rushed or out of breath. A really excellent sequence.

I ll do this one again when I want a light challenge. My hips and lower back feel amazing now. And I loved that there was a wild thing in the flow to wake me up and open my heart.

I haven t written public reviews here too often (ever?) but want to chime in about this class. It s wonderful.

I have been doing yoga for years, so am fairly experienced, and I think that is an important point. I found it easy to follow and the cues excellent for alignment. Like most vinyasa classes, the first time through the sequence was slow with a focus on alignment, deepening, and strengthening. Then we moved through the sequence with our breath, which felt very well-timed to me. The sequence is a round the world type - where you shift from facing "front" to the "back" of the mat.

The instructor doesn t get into detail on how to form each pose, relying on students knowledge of poses like chair, airplane, pyramid, etc.

If you are a newer yogi this class may not be a good fit. If you have some experience and are familiar with the things I describe here, you will likely find the class easy to follow.

I will have to agree with other reviewers... This would be a great class if the pace were adjusted. The first sequence is too slow (lots of extraneous talk) and then the repeats go at lightening speed. No time to breathe, almost impossible to follow even for an intermediate level. Then it gets better. Uncommon poses and great stretches. Overall not a bad class if you skip the impossible to follow part...

I come back to this flow often when I have time in the morning. I like the speed of the flow. Keep repeating the class and you will find the rotation calming and energizing.

This class is too fast pace with too much set at the back of the mat. I hurt my ankle trying to keep up with the flow and follow direction as the cues are incomplete/there is to much packed into one sequence and I had to keep turning or getting out of posture to see what was going on. On a good note, it was unique an would be a good class for a more advanced level or likely for someone who is familiar with this teacher.

Kirstin is my "go to" instructor at yoga download. Her classes are always varied, interesting, good direction, nice pointers for adjustments and no long spiritual messages! This class is a perfect wait to start the day.

Kristin s classes always make me feel so alive! This is a vigorous morning session and it s exactly what I was looking for today.

Good flow but she goes way too fast and doesn t stay true to the breath. Disorienting on the mat as well.

I love all of Kristin s classes. This one is a challenge, but I feel energized yet calmed whenever I do it.

Such a great class from Kristen, another keeper! Great around the world vinyasa with very clear cuing and lots of challenges. I like to do this one at night, but that s when I do all my yoga. I thin it would be great in the morning, too! Thanks so much!

I really enjoyed this class. For me, the pace was just right. I was breathing and moving... Perfect meditation and the 40 minutes flew by.

By the time I took this class, it had been re-categorized as intermediate and you ll feel it (based on previous feedback). That s a good thing! I had a hard time with the pace of movement in this class for a first thing in the morning, she really flows fast. I like a little bit slower and longer holds to warm up for morning yoga classes. Would recommend when you want a creative fast moving flow, whatever time of day that is for you.

Instruction was hard to follow at times and it s a bit slower paced.

This is a great class with a good variety of moves. The only reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is that the flow in the middle of the workout goes so fast that it could be too much for someone not accustomed to that. I do yoga daily and thought I could handle it but I was really looking forward to getting over with that part!

I love kristen s classes but I found it almost impossible to keep up breath wise. A frustrating start to the day.
