Nice class. The usual music found in other classes on this site. Great descriptions. I never needed to look at my screen. Very long, deep holds.

The asanas were difficult for me. I had to keep unwinding myself to look at the screen to see if I was in correct form. And the music cracked me up, like some 70’s galaxy porn, I couldn’t focus. But I appreciate the time spent on the mat on as a calm ending to my week. I stuck through it, and I feel better for it today.

I enjoyed the positions and the relaxing cadence of her voice. The music was a bit odd for me. It started out meditative and relaxing, but segued into voices talking over voices. Will enjoy doing this practice again. Thank you.

Ok some poses are a bit awkward. I prefer her Innovative Restorative Yoga class!

I found this class too yang to be yin. I was taught that yin literally means emptiness and passivity. The beauty of yin yoga is that I can,or should, be able to let gravity do most of the work for me thereby truly allowing myself to let go (not wondering how my foot is or where my leg is or how good my breath is); just find my place in a gravity-friendly pose and literally hang out. And, i thought restorative was suppose to be that, and even more, with pillows and blankets and teddy bears. But i enjoyed the extended baby dragon. Unfortunately, I only followed half of this class and finished on my own - because, I really wanted a yin experience.

Sorry but I didn t like this class at all. I ve done some Yin classes at home so have a little knowledge, but felt that this class didn t have enough guidance into the poses especially half splits. I struggled letting go into the poses and ended up with very tense shoulders.

A great shame as I had really been looking forward to it :-(

Wonderful! This class is heavenly. The best Yin I ve tried on YDL so far. Give it a shot.

I love this class. I was on the fence about trying it, but I gave in one day when I needed some major stress relief. I m glad I gave it a chance because this might be my favorite class on YDL.

It s slow. Very, very slow, which definitely isn t for everybody. Whenever I start it, I have a lot of trouble calming my thoughts and letting myself sink into the poses, but as the class goes on it gets easier and easier. The initial 30-60 seconds of any pose are always the most awkward, but after that I can really feel myself sink in, unwind, and relax. I m always so surprised to feel myself loosening even after holding the poses for such a long time. I guess I hold a lot more stress than I realized!

This is a great way to unwind, especially if you are tense, stressed, or are having trouble sleeping. Both my husband and I have fallen asleep during shavasana at the end of the class thanks to both the mental and physical relief this gives. I ll definitely continue coming back to this one.

Refreshing and an ideal way to restore after a long day or busy week. Longer holds allow for deeper relaxation and a calmer mind. Thank you!

Nice class, a mix of letting go and challenge because of the long holds. Very easy to follow and do.

I ve tried to do & love this class, but it s really challenging for me. echoing another s sentiment, the descriptions for the poses are confusing & I wish there were more variations to the poses, because it s clear that the model is way more flexible & advanced, & it would be nice to see what a "beginner s" variation of the pose would look like. as I m in the class, feel like I m doing everything wrong, if I m going by what the model s doing, & without the teacher s reiteration of what the pose should look / feel like, I find myself getting frustrated, unable to truly relax—which is the entire point of yoga.

what I do love about this course is Channing s soothing voice & how long the poses are held. if I knew that I was holding them properly, I would enjoy melting into them. otherwise, I probably won t be doing this class that often.

Great class for end of the evening before going to bed. Beautiful and soothing voice. Just need a bit more directives in some of the asanas on feet placements. Otherwise, a great class

After 10 days of the 21 day yoga challenge, this is far and away my favorite. My body so rarely gets the down time it needs and this is a great way to show the body you love and care for it!!! Afterward, I walked around ache and pain free until bedtime - a rarety for me!!

This is the first class I ve done that I really didn t care for. I found the descriptions of some of the asanas hard to follow and had to sit and study what the model was doing to figure it out, and that really interrupted my flow. A couple of the asanas I just could not find a comfortable position for and even experienced some mild pain. I think one needs to be pretty flexible to find this class helpful rather than frustrating.

I m not a fan of this class. I thought it was an interesting challenge to hold poses for this long, but the poses themselves were a little disappointing (such as starting with 10 minutes of "thread the needle"). As far as restorative classes go, I prefer Jackie Casal s gentle hatha series.

Glorious yin class. The seated spinal stretch us intense! Just what the doctor ordered. But I do dislike YDL s computer generated savasana graphics, they are the only times my streaming video freezes. We re laying back in a restful pose, what is the purpose of these graphics? Thank you.

This, and all of Channing s classes are so wonderful. She teaches me at least one if not ten new things, each time I practice. And, for that I am grateful. Please add more of her classes!
