I felt like I d had a good stretch after this class but like others, I found the cueing to be lacking. You ll need to have your device close by to see some of the poses as the verbalising of how to get into them isn t great. I chose to do some stretches during the 5mins meditation and felt ready for savasana at the end. I look forward to doing this again now that I ve paused and been through the video so I know the poses better.

Hips feel good, but cueing was way off. And as much as I love learning the sanskrit names, sometimes that was your only cue, the sanskrit name. I was unable to look at the screen because of the position at the moment, so was unable to follow half the moves. I m sure if I had watched it through once, then it would have been easier to follow. But I ll say it again, good hip class. And it s only a 30 minute class, with meditation at the beginning, 5 minutes meditation at the end, and a long shavasana.

I loved this class. (All but the music during the meditation, which was not a good choice for meditation.)

Challenging yet centering. Released some muscles I didn t realize I had!

Loved this. A good balance of stretching and meditation.

Great if your looking for a way to stretch and meditate after a long day; not great for raising your heart rate. This class did help open my hips in new ways and showed some alternative pose sequences not presented in other classes. Also, there is a five minute meditation and five minute savasana at the end, so it is really about a 30 minute class. Only rated 4 stars because it seems classified wrong: the poses are as difficult as you make them, but it doesn t not deserve the "bring a towel" label.

Enjoyable class and it does serve to open the hips. Thank you

totally misleading - title, intensity and level. 50 minutes was really only 30 and 20 minutes of meditation/relaxation. Disappointing. Instructor s verbal cues were poor as well - I had to keep looking at the screen and it still wasn t clear what she was doing. still stressed...

I found this class to be quite frustrating. There were a handful of poses that are less common, and I don t think the instructor did a very good job of guiding you into them. I had to look up at the screen a lot which makes it difficult and can strain your neck. Not a winner.

Was not as much hip opening as anticipated, some of the exercises were difficult with my inflexible quadriceps but it was not very challenging.

Not a bad class, but I hate when I start a class expecting it will be difficult (bring a towel) and my heart rate barely rises. Too easy of a class for the category.

It s a bit short on the actual poses, about 35 mins of poses and the rest is relaxation. However, the poses are good ones.

Gentle class that really opens you up. Great way to start the day or for in between more vigorous practice days.

Sorry but this one really didn t do it for me.
I dont do many video classes because I often find the description of poses to be not nearly as good as audio classes and this is a prime example. Bring your elbow to your knew.... well, which elbow, which knee? I found myself having to look up at the video in confusion mid pose which I find really distracting. Turned it off after 30min. I couldnt get my flow on in this one.

I felt this class was a little tricky to follow and went into deep poses that I wasn t quite warm enough for. I loved the idea but didn t find the class as satisfying as I was hoping to.

I really like that this class focuses on some of the muscles around the hips that get tight but are less frequently emphasised in hip opening classes, like the QL, quads and deep muscles in the sides and lower back. If you did this one and Jeanie s Align and Flow class, I guarantee that your quads and shoulders will feel just as free as your hips! My only complaint about this class is that it s only about 35 mins of active yoga, with the last 10 minutes focused on breathing and 5 on savasana. Some people won t mind that at all, but I m not crazy about breathing exercises.
