Christen Bakken

It has been said, "no mud, no lotus." In yoga (and in life), I think about "no rain, no rainbow." Our practice can serve as an opportunity to train ourselves to make it though the storm. The poses can be tricky or uncomfortable and our job is to find our best alignment and stay connected to our breath. Beyond weathering the storm (of a challenging pose, class, or life), we can also learn to see the rainbow - to train the mind to see the good even though the tough. In this class filled with side bends and heart openers, we will work on both the rain and the rainbow.

"Without rain, no rainbow," that is true. I remember the time I was in the dark dark place after I lost my daughter. On day, I was walking with tears the path near the river where she died. I looked up sky and saw a rainbow as if my daughter was telling she is okay and in peace. Yoga became my healing practice since then. Thank you for reminding me the beautiful awaken day.

Good sequence of poses but there is a lot of talking. This might be a personal issue but a lot of talking does not relax me.

Nice workout but I prefer way, way less distracting chatter from the instructor.

I always enjoy Christen s classes. Her stories and laughter enhance my practice. This is a nice short practice with sun salutation A and modified sun salutation B. It includes a short standing floor that will build heat in the legs and then some lovely stretches on the floor.

When Christen said something similar to are you waiting for the rain to end (or the end of this story) so we can move out of half pigeon , it made me chuckle. What a great class, I pushed through to my own rainbows and am really glad I took this class today! Thank you Christen you brought the rainbow to my morning.

Don’t let the thumbnail image of flipped dog pose scare you away! This is a great gentle practice with just enough challenge. Enjoyed this very much.

Beautiful practice! I was definitely feeling a bit soggy today, but with all the positive rainbow analogies, I feel so much lighter and less sad. Thank you!

This class was so needed today, thank you for the beautiful reminder. The bit of challenge gave me the ability to remind myself to breathe which is so important in difficult times in life.

Excellent class, excellent message like most of Christen s. "Often the rainbow lasts longer than the storm!" Everything very doable for me.

I was initially intimidated by the pose in the image for this class, but I m so glad I tried it anyway. A perfect balance of challenge and restoration -- just what I needed this morning.

Wow Christen, you have done it again. What a wonderful class. Your stories are always so fitting and poignant for me at that perfect moment that I feel like crying, and the next I am giggling at your jokes. Thank you for sharing your gift with us all.
