I was hesitant to do this video for a while because I thought it would require use of a wall, but turns out it doesn't! I also thought it would be more difficult than it was. That said, I agree with all the comments below. This is such a fun, vibrant practice. Classic Crista!

Crista, you are an inspiration! As the mom of an almost-3-year-old, I am always looking for ways to infuse fun into everyday life and you are the master! :-)
I laughed, I cried, I got sweaty and I bookmarked this practice because I can't wait to return to this lighthearted state of mind and body. Thank you!!
