Christen Bakken

Durga - Kindness that Protects Us. Durga is the ultimate archetype of protection. She was brought into being to support the men. She was given a tiger to ride on and the weapons of each and every male deity. While she has all the tools to fight, she is most known for using gentleness first, kindness first. Where in our practice do we go straight toward force? Is their a softer approach? Our lives often mirror our practice and in a world that seems more and more reactive, to slow down, bring all the tools, but pause, be gentle first could be a revolutionary act.

Drawn to this class due to my reverence for Ma Durga, and also because Christen s classes are usually a sure bet. Very well done and true to the message of gentleness as the first tool. Just as the work was challenging, the cool down and integration were given equal time and the spirit of gentleness was honored. Needed it that way today. THANKS!

This class was the perfect mix of gentleness involving challenge. Kristen s messaging was perfect, and just what I needed to hear today. In fact, a few lines right near the end literally brought me to tears with recognizing the gentleness in us all. Thank you for this.

yet another amazing class from Christen. I already want to do this one again. love the sequencing and the build up to the peak pose - took the fear out of it and just made it loads of fun. And a new pose that I haven t done before - not much is brand new anymore, so thank you!

This is a great flow that built up the heat. There s a lot of standing and balancing along with binds and twists. I liked the end of the elephant trunk. It surprised me!
