I almost didn t take this class due to some of the reviews, but am I glad that I did. As a person who does a lot of weights, biking, kayaking, etc. my muscles were super stiff and this class was AMAZING for stretching me out. I can understand if you don t know the names of the poses/if you are a beginner you may be wondering what to do next, but if you do have an awareness of them - and there is a pose guide that accompanies this if you need it - it s easy to follow and she talks you through how to get the most out of the stretch. I will be returning to this class time and again!

I’ve been actively running, biking,swimming all my life, (now 61), not beginning yoga until I was 40. I have noticed the morning after a spin class or biking I am extremely tight in the itbands and hips. I just finished this sequence and am really amazed how I was able to release and soften these areas. I will continue to do this one often. I liked the cueing

I m not sure I understand or agree with several of the reviews for this class. It is listed as intermediate which I feel is a fair assessment and it seems like some of the other reviews may have been beginners. I didn t have any issues with the instruction or the transitions. Good stretches after my bike ride!

If you re used to a vinyasa flow the transitions in this may seem a little awkward, but the stretches and holds are fantastic if you re a runner or athlete who uses your legs a lot. Michelle really hits all the right spots and I ll be coming back to this one again for all my post-long run practices.

The cue and directions were poor and transitions sometimes awkward. I liked the idea of this class but not it s delivery.

I play semi pro beach doubles and just started Pure Barre classes, & I typically dread all Yoga-but I luv luv this class for my full needs after a beach doubles tourney or Barre class. I found the transitions and cues easy peezy and used the 2 demo models to check my form. I have an iPad so maybe this worked well for me. I am doing this class daily up to 2-3x a day.

Audio & video were off, cues were confusing, and there was no mention of which model was advanced & which was beginner. Very frustrating when one would do a more advanced pose during the second side. I would have done it on the first if I d known.
Not to mention the husky, loud voice in the very beginning was startling and set a bad tone for the rest of the practice. I thought yoga was supposed to be calming ;)

Very difficult to follow cues.

This is my most frequented class. I am a runner and a weight lifter and this video provides great stretches to release tightness before and after workouts. I will continue to repeat this sequence throughout each week.

A very good stretch routine. Best done directly after a run or some other activity that really warms up your muscles.

Really great stretches, but the transitions were rough...Overall I really enjoyed the sequence but this one needs some practice. I def recommended checking the pose guide first, which I don t usually need to do

Amazing class!
I downloaded it to always practice after my bike and running sessions.

I practiced yesterday after cycling and it felt fantastic, really enjoy the longer holds on postures to allow the muscles to settle and release.
Today I practiced after running and it felt a bit harder but equally fantastic because of course, running takes a higher toll on your body than cycling.

The tighter you are, the harder this practice will feel. I definitely recommend doing this wonderful sequence while you re still warm from any activity, to get maximum benefit.

Great sequence, great pace, many KEY poses to release tightness if you re an athlete.
Absolutely recommend it. A bit of discomfort and challenge is sometimes needed to create the change we need within the body.

Of all the classes that I have downloaded, this is my least favorite. It just doesn t give the essence of yoga. It is a guided stretching class to be sure, but it just doesn t have the feel of a traditional yoga class. I felt confused on many of the positions and needed to download the pose guide partway through the experience to have an idea of what I was supposed to be doing in some instances.

I really enjoyed this class. I am a runner and this was great for the hips and quads. Since I have not been doing yoga for a long time, I usually follow the poses slowly and maybe that saved me some of the frustration of the others. I will be doing this class again.

I agree with the people who said the cues were confusing, but I knew what was going on the second time I did it. I really liked this class. I did it right after running (and yes, you should be warmed up before doing this class). This stretched me out and made me feel immediately better.

This class has pretty decent hip stretches. However as it is billed for athletes, be aware that a good 1/3 of the poses require you to stretch either in deep knee bends/lunges or by putting all your weight on one knee. If you have bad knees watch it before you buy.

Love this class. Short enough to hold my attention, but long enough to get some great stretches in. One of the only yoga classes that focuses on the quads - which are frequently sore due to running and lifting! I ve done this class more than any other one on this website.

Wow this is one of my favorite classes from YogaDownload! It s a fast class (relatively speaking for YogaDownload) and stretches all of the right things. I m a runner, and I must say I prefer this practice over the "Yoga for Runners" class. This has pigeon pose, which is my all-time favorite stretch and does wonders for athletes. To address the lack of pose descriptions: I feel like that happens a lot with this site, so I usually use the pose guide during my practice. I highly suggest this class!

I am by no means a yogi, but I love my yoga. That being said, I found myself frustrated during this class. The poses were not described as well as they could have been, some of the names for the asanas were unfamiliar to me and I found myself sitting and waiting until the next transition because I wasn t clear on what I should be doing. I did the audio class, and maybe there s a video that I should have watched....?

good stretch after a hard run...

There weren t very good transition cues, breathing wasn t included much. This product should be used only if you are already warmed up (after running or cycling). This session starts very quickly and does not provide a warm-up. This is especially true if you were a less flexible athlete. Some of these claims should be made with this video. Very few modifications were given.
