This is a great wind down or evening class. It also works during the day to relieve tension or stress. Jackie has a beautiful yoga voice. The rhythm of the class is good. It also has good flow in terms of transitioning between postures.

Sometimes when I m dealing with depression, my body is uncomfortable but I don t have the mental strength to do anything strenuous.
This is perfect for those days. Thank you.
By BethMc | Friday, January 29, 2021
This was exactly what I needed. I took a break from Yoga Download for awhile but have missed Jackie s classes so much, I signed back up. I still had this in my favorites. Felt like coming home. Thanks Jackie, you are amazing :-)
By Kellotte01 | Sunday, January 10, 2021
This class was the only reason I would come to YogaDownload.com for years. I am such a big fan, I have recommended it to friends! I have tried other "winding down" classes, and this one consistently hits my tensions spots both physically and mentally/emotionally. LOVE IT! Thank you, Jackie!

After this class, I feel like my spine has been released from the knots it was in. Jackie does a good job of explaining form. I will be looking for her other classes.
By Pamela | Saturday, January 2, 2021
I have had a tough time with Covid for 7 weeks and this was my 1st yoga class since I have been sick. My strength and breath have been compromised due to the virus. I wanted to start my yoga and exercise to get them back. This class was perfect as I was clearly & gently guided through it and I needed to get reaquainted with yoga and get my heath back. Thank you!
By Suzanne | Saturday, November 14, 2020
I love this class before bed or after a rough day at work. Jackie always has helpful cues to guide my practice. Thanks!

By Julie | Tuesday, July 28, 2020
I keep going back to this video over and over. It s perfect for stretching out my back and pelvis. Just what I need on a regular basis! Feels sooooo good! Jackie is wonderful
By Mary | Saturday, July 18, 2020
Jackie is my #1 on YDL! My very inflexible husband and I love this class at night before bed. It is ever so slightly warming but not enough to make you sweat. We do this and I sleep more soundly and wake up with a significantly less stiff body/back/hips the next morning. Jackie s speaks slowly, in soothing tones, and not too much which I love (it is hard to relax if the instructor is a motor mouth). We ve done this dozens and dozens of times. Thank you, Jackie!
By Suzanne | Monday, June 8, 2020
This short class hits all the right places to help me wind down after work or at bedtime.
By KJBM | Monday, June 8, 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed the pace of this class. It was a beautiful balance for me. I m not very experienced in yoga and I found the teacher really thorough in her descriptions. It was easy to follow and vastly beneficial. Thank you xx
By Richard | Sunday, May 24, 2020
Great for deep stretch and relaxation
By Julie | Thursday, May 7, 2020
Love this! Need this! I have been getting tense and stiff everyday especially my pelvis , low back, and hip regions. This class is my savior for flexibility and pain relief! I also feel more energized afterward!
By Danielle | Friday, April 24, 2020
This routine really helps me stretch out the tight muscles and I feel so much better afterwards!
By Stephanie | Friday, April 24, 2020
Good stretch and the perfect way to relax and end my day.
By Dale | Tuesday, April 14, 2020
Doing a 21 day challenge with YDL and didn’t love the options today so I came back to my tried and true class. I always love this one. A perfect blend!
By Chastity | Monday, March 30, 2020
Just what I needed today??
By Koni Eneo | Monday, March 2, 2020
Wow that was the most relaxed I ve been in a while, I m even noticing how tight my breathing is and I m slowly trying to loosen it up (Idk how though, but I ll find a way) Thanks for making this :)
By Jbsupergirl | Wednesday, January 29, 2020
A lovely practice - I ll come back to this one over and over for sure. Really enjoy Jackie s classes.

Great before bed time stretch. Love this. Jackie is great!
By Claudia | Wednesday, July 3, 2019
wonderful relaxing class, great when you need to unwind and don t feel like a hard workout
By robyn_re | Thursday, June 20, 2019
This class alone is worth the yearly subscription. i have used it so many times to get out of my head before bed, or quickly alleviate shoulder/back pain. Jackie is the best teacher on this site!!!
By star | Wednesday, June 5, 2019
Excellent for stretching out the back in a quick relaxing manner
By HoldYourBreath | Saturday, May 11, 2019
Great class for getting back into yoga, and good for over 60.
By Janet | Sunday, April 28, 2019
Great shoulder stretches - nicely paced
By Veronique | Friday, March 15, 2019
By Almuoc | Wednesday, January 23, 2019
Awesome class Jackie! Perfect for unwinding and easy on the wrists.
Thank you
By BBams | Wednesday, January 16, 2019
LOVED this!!! Perfect length to start getting back into yoga and relaxing yet great after a day of sitting in front of a computer. BUT if you haven t done yoga in a while or stretch often I forward you... take it easy. I thought I was taking it easy but definitely pushed deeper into the poses than I realized. A few hours after doing the class when I went to bed my shoulder/upper side back muscles tightened up so painfully that I kept waking up. Learn from my mistake and don t push yourself too hard! That was my fault though not the class so 5 stars for sure! I ll definitely be doing this class again.
By Amy | Friday, January 11, 2019
Relaxing, easy way to stretch and ease the spine.
By Sarah Ethier-Sawyer | Monday, January 7, 2019

Perfect little class! Of course Jackie could tell me to do anything and I would enjoy it! Thanks, Jack!
By Snow | Thursday, January 3, 2019
I didn t have the opportunity to do the yoga challenge this morning and saw this class instead of the 2 offered this evening and loved it. A great way to wind down after a long day!
By Acksov | Thursday, January 3, 2019
I love this class. For a quickie, it really feels like a complete stretch and leaves me feeling better. Jackie never disappoints!!
By StAnne03 | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Fabulous flow! Had to do it late due to schedule. I was so relaxed after finishing. I know I m going to sleep well. Can t wait until tomorrow.
By Alison | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Another great class by Jackie! After a tough day, this was the perfect short class to get me ready for bed. There s something about her voice that always calms my thoughts. Amazing first class of the new year challenge :) Thanks Jackie!!
By lisanapoli | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Love her and this is a great one.
By Shannon913 | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
This was 100% what I am looking for in the new year 2019 challenge. This class was relaxing and an excellent end of day yoga that helps settle you down.
By Cat | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Perfect start to a new year. Love Jackie s classes and messages of mindfulness. Time flew by and it was a nice gentle decompress. Ahhh. ??

Definitely a good way to end the day!
By JenniferA | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Just what I needed today- this session provided me with just enough stretching to unwind from a rough day without taking too much of my time this evening-it’s nice to carve out 30 minutes for myself !
By teedish | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Always nice to do a class with Jackie. She was the first instructor that I went to when first joining YDL. She is wonderful!
By Pam | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Great class after first day back to work after holiday break.
By Abby | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
I work as a nursing assistant and am on my feet all day. This was such a great opportunity to stretch out my back after so much bending and lifting. So relaxing!
By Emily | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Lovely start to the 30 day, 30 minute new year challenge. I will have to remember to come back to this class as an excellent after work decompression.
By Annski | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Just what I needed after all day at my desk.
By Paula | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
I m new to yoga and have always been a bit intimidated by it. I loved this class and the way Jackie is able to describe the movements making them available for beginners. Also love the visuals (e.g., "melt like ice"). Thank you!
By Sharmel | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
I loved this class! Jackie cued this class perfectly, she did a head to toe decompression amazing for a short class. well done!
By CBS | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Very calming class to wake up to this morning as I engage in the 30 day yoga challenge. Nice stretch- I really need to stretch because I am also lifting weights and trying to build stronger muscles. Love the elongation of yoga.
By Jo | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Have done this class before, but did today as part of 30 day yoga challenge, a great class. Very relaxing, would be good end of the day but did it in the morning, and my body feels looser and stretched out.
By LauLee | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
A nice gentle class that was quick but thorough. Whole body stretch.
By waterbender | Wednesday, January 2, 2019
Great way to unwind and release tension
By SacredNorth | Sunday, December 2, 2018
Just what I needed. Not feeling so well, slight fever and achy... not achy at all any more. Bravo! Good for an anytime relaxer and the perfect length to just get in and get the job done.
By Jo Haraf | Monday, October 15, 2018
The only thing that would make this practice better is if it was longer. Thank you, Jackie.
By LuluRose | Tuesday, July 17, 2018
What a great little class! Would be perfect to do in your lunchtime at work as you don t get up a sweat. Feel amazing afterwards - thanks!

By Mishy | Sunday, February 25, 2018
I loved this just what I needed. I’m definitely a beginner so some poses I did slight variations but all in all was able to enjoy it and get out of it what was intended “decompress”
By Jules | Wednesday, January 31, 2018
By Justan | Wednesday, January 10, 2018
Jackie is our favorite instructor! Loved this class for helping my back feel better -- I ve been really feeling the need to stretch out my back a lot lately after working at my standing desk in front of a computer all day long. This class is so nice and gentle on the spine and makes it much more comfortable to continue on with my day afterward :) Thanks Jackie!!

By Cristina | Wednesday, May 17, 2017
Loved this class! Fast 20 min decompression, it felt good in my legs, my back, shoulders... You work out in each part of your body. Done it at the end of a long sitting day, feel amazing now! Curious to try it in the morning
