Excellent just as always.
By Kiki | Saturday, May 11, 2024
Great class. I love Hotha Yoga. This class is slow and stay longer in every pose so that it makes the pose challenging. Stretching and twisting make me feel good, and there are balancing poses too. I feel very good and grounded. Thank you.

Practicing yoga with sciatica is a very humbling experience. My body needs to hold, adjust and move slower. This class provided movement that I feel is beneficial.

Thank you Jackie for this wonderful class. I am a beginner, so your carefully worded instructions were very helpful.

Really complete session, whether you are a beginner or and intermediate practitioner, It will make you feel awwww and help you get ready for your day.

I enjoyed this class, although there were a few times I had to stop and get into child pose, It was a little challenging for me with fibromyalgia and shoulder pain. However, Jackie s prompts to ease off and relax this part or that part, really helped me. I felt stretched all over.

I did this class about 7pm last night and I slept really well. It is slower paced and really heats up the muscles which allows time for the knots to unwind and relax. Jackie is one of my favorite instructors and I will be adding this class to my favorites.

I’m returning to more regular practice after time away and a recent shoulder injury. Jackie, your pacing allowed me to make adjustments to both care for the shoulder while challenging other parts of me - body and spirit. Enjoyed a lot! Thank you ????

It was nice to do a longer contemplative flow on a rainy day!
By Trudy | Monday, January 2, 2023
A nice slow paced class that is good for all levels. Jackie is very aware of what students may be feeling throughout the class and gives helpful tips on how to modify poses if needed.
By Beth | Monday, January 2, 2023
I m very rusty and holding the poses gives me time to work on my form and balance. Very nice pace for me but also challenging.
By Brenda | Monday, January 2, 2023
Realizing just how much I have lost as far as ability to move. This is gentle, slow, easy movement class, but I couldn t do it. Got about half way through before I had to stop as I couldn t get my breath and was feeling very nauseous.
By Mary Ann | Monday, January 2, 2023
Lots of holding of poses which I like. Easy to follow her guidance. Thank you!
By Helen | Monday, January 2, 2023
Had the start of a migraine but did it. Was wonderful to relax and strengthen
By Chanelle | Sunday, June 19, 2022
Love this class - slow moving yet strong poses help me feel relaxed and also invigorated!
By RobinF | Saturday, April 16, 2022
LOVED this slow, gentle but extremely strong class. Jackie s voice is wonderfully soothing and the cues are great. Expect to perform all your favourite poses and hold them for longer than in a flow so you get a good workout.
By James | Tuesday, February 1, 2022
Jackie, I m a fan. This was one of your best classes. Thank you!
By Jo | Tuesday, November 30, 2021
Excellent, relaxing, good twists. Jackie s classes are always the best.
By Kim | Friday, September 24, 2021
I love this class! Challenging yet allows me to wind down in the evening. Jackie s cues are clear and helpful.
By Sue | Friday, July 9, 2021
Another wonderful class. A slower class does not always mean easier. Longer holds bring their own challenges but they are encouraged to be without tension , which was a fantastic reminder.
And that wonderful reassuring and calming voice is always a joy.
Thank you!

Jackie is my new favorite teacher. This class a beautiful texture. I am recovering from a back surgery and her classes feel both safe and healing. This class opens up all the places that have been closed up for so long. I highly recommend this class to anyone, any level, at any stage in their practice.
By Mill | Tuesday, February 23, 2021
Great class!!
By esther liss | Thursday, February 11, 2021
I appreciate your all encompassing welcome to all who have found you as a teacher. Your warmth and kindness, integral to your teaching, continue to help me find refuge in challenging times.
By Nina | Tuesday, December 15, 2020
Such a perfect class, really stands for what it is, slow and steady. Wonderfully warms and tones my body and gives a good deep stretch. Thanm you, Jackie!

all around great class
By ckat50 | Monday, August 31, 2020
This is a beautiful class that is perfectly paced to hole poses a bit and let your muscles ease into it. Challenging, but doable at any level. I did it with a beginner and we both did fine. Highly recommend this and Jackie is an excellent teacher.
By Rachael N | Saturday, August 8, 2020
Wow! What an excellent class. Jackie always has great classes so this was no exception. It hovers between level 2-3 intensity depending on where you re in the class. I did feel my back release into a wonderful feeling of length about halfway through. Just terrific!
By Richard | Monday, May 25, 2020
Challenging but also very satisfying and calming.
By Lucky | Saturday, May 23, 2020
Jackie is my favorite teacher on YDL, and this is probably my favorite night time, pre-bed class
By Lauren | Friday, March 27, 2020
I got a crappy nights sleep last night and needed something that wouldn t stress me out. It was the right amount of challenging but not too fast or active. I felt hot but not sweaty.
By Shiny Penny | Tuesday, March 10, 2020
By AbbyAnn | Sunday, January 26, 2020
I ve been doing YDL for 18 days straight now and this is the first class I ve reviewed. It s exactly what I m looking for as someone who was very experienced in yoga, coming back into after a long break. Easy instructions, clear prompts, 10/10. I will be taking more of her classes!
By JenF | Friday, July 5, 2019
Good class for stretching. No vinyasas, but targets most of the body.
By Ksschar | Thursday, June 27, 2019
Thank you! I feel wonderful.
By Tricia | Thursday, June 13, 2019
She is always amazing. Was able to do with earbuds and no problem following. Some chair, warriors, twists, stretching, tree and ballerina. Great balance with some warming poses but nothing too strenuous. Thank you!
By Debbie | Tuesday, May 21, 2019
Another Jackie class that I love, please keep them coming!
By Syls Mom | Friday, February 15, 2019
By the end of this practice I felt relaxed and light. Thank you!

Like always, Jackie s classes never fail! Wonderful!

I have been sick for the past week+ (started w/flu and allergies, then straight to my sinuses). I have been practicing simple poses to help clear congestion and ease my very tight and achy muscles, but today was the first time I wanted something more - nothing fast and hard. Even this class s description made me a bit uneasy, but I did it anyways and I am so glad I did. My muscles in particular eased up their aches and let go of all the tension they d beennhilding. Another surprising result was my "off kilter" feeling (I swear I was leaning left) disappeared after the balancing poses, which I expected tonstrufgle the hardest with, but were really not a struggle at all (I d almost say I had an easier time compared to days I feel "stable"). My sinus prrssurr cleared and stayed clear for most of the day after this class. I felt completely calm and blissful after this class. I think one of the reviewers said it was an "ahhhhhhmazing" class and I think that is the perfect description.
By Kim | Saturday, December 15, 2018
Perfect voice and flow sequence for hatha. Relaxing but challenging in its own way.
By Carine | Friday, September 21, 2018
As ever, a 5 star rating for Jackie. I have elbow injury and this class allowed me to modify as needed, both mentally as physically. Love x x Carine
By Acksov | Monday, August 6, 2018
I love all Jackie’s classes and this one is no exception. Very well rounded, good cuing and feels so good!! Jackie is one of my favorite teachers on Yogadownload!!
By Jo Haraf | Wednesday, August 1, 2018
This is the perfect all over gentle stretch. Jackie s directions and clear and her voice is soothing.
By Peg | Wednesday, July 25, 2018
Loved this practice! Just the right amount of challenge and ease. Appreciate the reminders not to work too hard. We all need those reminders! Thank you for this. Jackie never disappoints.
By laurenmarie | Thursday, July 19, 2018
I loved this class! It really helped me relax and stretch out. I loved what Jackie said, that postures should be "effort without tension" which really stuck with me throughout the class.
By Ms Wildstar | Wednesday, July 18, 2018
Jackie Casal Mahrou is by far my favourite online yoga instructor. I really enjoy and appreciate her style. This video in particular was excellent, you really get to feel and hold your poses instead of feeling rushed, which, as a heart patient, I appreciate. I ll be downloading this one!

Good instruction, great pace, amazing opening.
By Geri | Thursday, June 28, 2018
I really enjoyed this practice today. It s been a while since I did this style of yoga and had forgotten how hard it can be to hold poses that bit longer. So yes it was slow and steady but my body feels worked and toned. Thank you.
By Bianca | Sunday, June 24, 2018
Soooo good!! I love Jackie! I feel really great in my body after this slow and steady class :)
By lainie | Thursday, June 21, 2018
The longer holds made this more like a meditation. It left me relaxed and more centered. Thanks, Jackie.
By EmmaS | Thursday, June 21, 2018
Lovely practice! I have a back injury and trouble with a lot of classes, but this was perfect. Soothing and strengthening at the same time!
By Dawson | Monday, June 18, 2018
This class was slow and steady, but it also generated heat and provided a good, strengthening workout.
By Anne | Monday, June 18, 2018
This class is exactly as described. I am an intermediate-level practitioner, and tend to enjoy flow classes, but was attracted by the slow and steady approach for this class to wrap up from a stressful workday. The longer holds left me feeling like I had a good workout, and Jackie s always lovely voice and excellent cues made for a great experience.
