With a gentle warm-up and attentive sequencing that moves the body through several backbend variations, this class dusts off the heart and reminds us of the golden seed of connection within. Internal archaeology is the process of freeing the body, clearing energetic channels, placing the mind in the somatic experience and revealing the heart. Opening with hip releases and twists, this sequence gently traverses into lunges, thigh stretches and mild backbends. The peak pose of Urdvha Dhanurasana is offered, but not required, and the class closes with inspiring reminders of our capacity for connection.

I really enjoyed this class. The instruction and cues were very helpful. I tried the full backbend and could hold for a breath or two each time, so I will continue to work up to being able to hold it longer. Thank you!

Caitlin Rose Kenney commented on this review

Kathy, amazing! It takes practice holding Upward Facing Bow, just adding one breath the next time will be significant!

I am enjoying the 22-day yoga challenge. I like all the variety of classes, and each instructor adds a nugget of wisdom, and a tweak on how to get the most out of a pose. I can feel my body relaxing and getting more supple each day. This class really expanded my sides, and improved my "wheel" pose.

Caitlin Rose Kenney commented on this review

Kat, thank you for such a great description of this practice and your 22-day yoga challenge. I hope yo continue to feel more supple and inspired!

Great class. Nice and gentle (I opted for the bridge pose vs. the full back bend at the end). I am adding this one to my "Favorites".

Perfect, thank you Jill!

Although I found this session quite good I also found it to be quite difficult. I suppose I found too much "rocks and dirt". Perhaps better for someone other than a beginner like me.

Thank you for trying the practice and sharing your experience! It is normal to stumble over "rocks and dirt" especially if you re new to Yoga or returning after a long break. Don t be discouraged and continue to try different classes :)

What a wonderful class! I usually stick to bridge pose because over time, my wrists don t seem to love full wheel. However, I did go up into full wheel twice for a couple of breathes today. Thanks for the extra push and prep!

Caitlin Rose Kenney commented on this review

Thank you for taking class and sharing your experience! I am happy to hear you felt prepped and trusted doing Urdvha Dhanurasana this time : )

Wow, that was amazing! I love Caitlin s calm demeanor... it helps me trust myself and that allows me to be a bit more adventurous - full wheel isn t usually available to me, but I tried it out today and made some progress. Thanks!!

Caitlin Rose Kenney commented on this review

Mariah, I am so glad this class helped you progress with wheel pose. For backbends, smart and thorough preparations are important as well as having a calm nervous system. Backbends are excitatory for the nervous system on their own, so if we feel nervousness or dread we can get over-stimulated and rigid which makes it very difficult to be in a backbend safely and comfortably. It s wonderful that you were open to this practice and curious about trying the backbends on this day!

I am so happy this class was offered with today s Yoga Challenge!

I consider myself an advanced beginner, and have been trying flow classes recently. I have found some classes at beginner/adv beginner offer so much explanation that the flow is lost, and some move so fast I don t have the coordination to keep up. This class has the perfect pace for me! The moves become quite challenging, but Caitlin s slow flow, relaxed manor and gentle voice make the attempt approachable. While I did a lot of falling out, I felt I was learning and never felt left behind.

I am adding this class to my weekly routine, and I feel in a short time I ll be able to execute the poses reasonably well. That will feel like a true accomplishment!!!

p.s. I don t think I ll ever be as graceful as the model ;)

Caitlin Rose Kenney commented on this review

Sheri, I am so glad the pace and challenge of the class was a good fit for you. Falling out is such a gift: it brings our mind and our body instantly back together. I hope you continue to enjoy this practice when you re-visit it!

The model is yoga teacher Taylor Rose Warden. She has a graceful embodiment and is a fantastic teacher based in Denver, CO.
