I felt much more open physically and mentally. I wanted something fulfilling without exhausting me. Especially after newly starting cardio before my yoga practice. My only complaint is that i wish it was a longer class!

Thank you, Jo Schaalman, for this class, it is so therapeutic physically and emotionally. I love the focus on shoulder and neck- and the fact that my ribcage, hamstrings and hips get released along the way. A fantastic foundation for everyday life. If you haven t tried Forrest yoga before, this is a good class to work on.

That class was perfect for a day when I m fighting a cold (don t want a difficult, heart-pounding flow) and am unusually tight in seemingly every part of my body - especially the neck and shoulders (yow!). I m going to do this one whenever I need a good, thorough stretch. I didn t find most of it unreasonably slow, easy and boring - I wouldn t be able to get through it otherwise.

Best class i ve done on this site, beautiful instructor with beautiful intentions. I m a professional athlete and this was perfect, I was looking for authentic yoga and this is what I got. Thank you so much.

I had never tried a Forrest yoga practice before. The pace was slow and deliberate, the stretches gentle with plenty of variations for people with "tweaky backs" like me. I love this instructor s verbal style: clear instructions, a bit of encouragement, but most importantly, not too "talky!" I find it distracting when an instructor verbalized through nearly every minute of the practice. I will be checking out other videos by this instructor since I love her instruction style, both verbal and physical. The practice built a little heat in my legs through held poses and definitely loosened my upper back and neck.

This was a good class, but the music was anything but "background." I m not normally very sensitive to this, but if you are, you will find it very distracting.

A wonderful Forrest practice. While some practices are energizing, this was relaxing. My neck and back feel lighter. My heart feels lighter, too. I read some reviews. I agree with the person who mentioned Yoga isn t cardio. Some practices may have cardio conditioning in them. But that isn t what Yoga is about.

This was a great heart opening class. I had a headache and wasn t up for a full power yoga class. There were variations throughout that I hadn t done before which I enjoyed. Some people don t seem to realise yoga isn t supposed to be a cardio class, so I didn t take stock of those reviews. I enjoyed this class - and my headache is now gone! :)

Great for the neck, certainly, but slow paced without much flow. I m not sure I ll revisit this one.

Loved it! Wonderful practice with instruction and direction; the time flew by and I feel completely open, relaxed, tensions in the neck, shoulders, hips- melted away! Highly recommend and I will visit again.

If you enjoy a slower paced class you will enjoy this. I especially appreciated the breath work at the beginning and though out the class. The instructions are clear and she gives you variations on poses which is always nice for folks with a little less flexibility or back issues. Great for opening the neck and shoulders.

Not very familiar with Forrest Yoga, so I thought I d give this a try. Usually practice Bhakti. I m wondering, where was the heat? Not the class for me. Very slow paced. I was looking for something a bit more involved.

Great class in a condensed amount of time. Wonderful heart and shoulder openers. Stretches in the neck for much-needed adjustment.

I love how my neck feels after forrest yoga, and particularly after this class. It s a mellow class without sun salutations, so it left me more relaxed than invigorated, but that s just what I needed. I think this class would also be great for those with back issues, as the instructor mentions modifications for those with sensitive backs on most poses.

This was a great class to loosen your neck and open your heart. Relatively short but nice when you don t even have a whole hour.
