Very interesting workshop thank you! I have never experienced the "reverse" wheel from the wall and all the wall practice was actually a new discovery ????

This class is fine for an intermediate student, but not for beginners. The teacher does not offer general modifications, only those specific to the students in her class. For example, in urdhva dhanurasana, she did not offer bridge or show how to set up the blocks against the wall. Another example is her having people go into camel without offering the option for supporting the lower back. A student who is not familiar with the modifications could seriously injure him or herself.

That being said, she did offer a lot of interesting variations on poses that I will incorporate into my practice to help open up. This class is useful for runners or bikers who are generally tight in the front body or hips, as long as they are experienced enough in yoga to avoid injury.

She generally gives good verbal cuing, but tends to ramble, which is distracting. It was extremely difficult for me to focus on this practice.

My daughter and I are currently studying for certification to teach Anusara yoga. I only want to share what we experienced in this class as positive constructive criticism. I in no way wish to hurt your feelings or trigger any uncomfortable emotions.
I am speaking for my daughter as well. We just finished and left the class feeling frustrated and irritated. The journey for me, us, and the ultimate goal is to align with the Divine. To go inward and then express outwardly. However, your instruction was non stop. WAY too much talking and thus too distracting to feel the Essence within. Also, having to wait as you adjust your students was annoying. Students in general (not studying to teach Anusara) do not need to hear about loops, spirals, etc. In my opinion a simple "tuck your tail bone" or "puff your kidneys" is what the average student needs to hear. When you fill the entire class with your voice, the students or Yogis can not go within. Its difficult to dance when you cant hear the music, you know?
Your instruction needs to be minimal, corrections made in your personal class (not a downloadable version for yoga at home), and simplified. Also, you didnt seem to let your students shine in the best way THEY can shine. In other words, it didnt feel like you honored the individuals "optimal blueprint".

whew! she kicked my butt! I m pretty flexible, but I could really feel what she was describing. and, I could see the unevenness she mentioned. once you find your malalignment, I recommend going to visit your friendly Osteopath to help correct it.
the only problem comes if you don t have a partner. the last backbending sequence really does necessitate the use of a partner, but I didn t have one. so I felt more of the pinching she described, and couldn t stretch out during the pose.
overall, lots of fun!
