The cueing is so perfect. I could do everything the first time through with barely looking. Great results also in the calves.

I enjoyed this class a lot, and want to take it again, as well as incorporate some of these exercises into my own classes. I especially liked the calf smashes, since my calves are really tight but foam rolling doesn t seem to help much. Surprisingly, I had never encountered calf smashes before! However, I wish there had been more seated forward folds at the end. I wanted an opportunity to play with some more forward folds after getting into the different parts of the leg, and would have enjoyed the same types of cues in the forward folds as she gave in the rest of the exercises.

Day 12. I ve been gone all day, but thanks to my commitment to the Challenge, I made sure to do this class even though it s late into the evening. I feel great after having completed it. It s one that I will return to.

As a 64 year old beginner, parts of this were quite challenging, but definitely helped stretch out the calves and hamstrings, which is one of the main reasons I started yoga in the first place. I ll continue to work on this and return to this class on a regular basis.

The (slow) pace of this class is what made it challenging. The cuing was impeccable. Prepare to feel every muscle.

Not what I expected, but certainly useful.

Good class though calf smashing was challenging. Lots of detailed direction for working legs to make forward bends easier.

Doing the 20/20 challenge with Ellen today. I missed yesterday. Liked the concentration on the legs but the calf smashing was not pleasant. Would have liked to have included some forward bend movements , but did do some on my own.

I love it when I learn new ways to approach a pose.
I have tight hamstrings and this helped loosen and explain, while giving a bit of a challenging workout.
Noticed a difference right away after calf smash.
Will be revisiting :) thank you 20 in 20 for this introduction

Wow!!! That was a challenging class for me but at 55+ I think I did pretty good..Felt great when I was done...highly recommended for a deep stretch...

Great workshop. The calf smash is excruciating but well worth it. All the tricks make a difference. I was a tiny bit disappointed that after all the work to fine tune our forward fold, we did not get to do a single one to feel the benefits... But I was curious to see the difference and did a few on my own. I highly recommend everyone do the same before savasana.

This class is wonderful, especially so if you run or have tight legs. The calf smashing that folks are talking about is like taking a foam roller to your calves (so good!) then you strengthen and lengthen your quads, glutes, and hips. The result was the deepest wide legged fold I ve ever done. Thank you!

Great practice. The "calf smashing" really made a difference,. My calves didn t cramp at all (a common problem for me). I m impressed! All of the moves really felt good. I had to modify the lunge with lifted back knee - have to work on that! - but still think I got the benefit. Thanks! This was very interesting.

A very enjoyable class. Instruction was non-stop, which I usually find a bit annoying, but not so on this video - she constantly had me making improvements in the poses, so I got the most out of them. My legs feel amazing!

As promised, the class lengthens your legs preparing you for deeper, less stressed forward folds. Not all the movements are comfortable or easy should become easier with practice.

This class built so nicely from the floor, and Ellen methodically opens. Your legs and hips. The long holds were challenging. As other reviews said, the calf smashing was new and helpful. I was surprised we didn t end with a standing forward fold, since I felt ready. The peak pose here is the seated wide legged forward fold. Can t wait to work this one into my practice.

Calf smashing is my new favorite post run move! Great practice and really enjoyed this after my run this morning.

Really liked this class. I found the cueing to be very clear and had several moments of "ah ha!" By the end, my downdog felt the longest is has ever felt. Thank you!

The cues were very helpful. Practicing yoga at home rather than in a studio with a teacher has the disadvantage of not having the entire alignment cues that were in this class. My legs still have a bit of heat. I was not fond of the calf smashing but I had more length afterwards. Thanks!

This class is great and special because it is not something you get very often in a studio class. I love flow-ing but sometimes it is good to slow down and focus on fundamentals. I am excited to repeat this class a few more times and see continued improvement in my forward fold. Thanks!
