This class is a more challenging beginner yoga flow that invites you to cultivate self compassion. Coming from a “no pain no gain” culture, many of us benefit from being reminded that practising yoga in a way that helps us honor the experience pleasure in the body can be a more effective way to calm the nervous system, while still building strength and alignment. This class can also help you appreciate the experience of pleasure in your daily life.

Beautiful practice Ron. Thanks.

Just a comment, this is stated at Intermediate I, so I was expecting a little more of a challenge. From my experience on DYWM, this practice feels more like a Beginner I or II.

Thanks, Mary Rose. If we have a few more people agreeing with this change I'd be happy to make it a Beginner II class. I'll give it some time.

Hi David, as someone who enjoys Ron’s classes from Beginners to Advanced as well as those of other DYWM teachers, I agree with Mary Rose. If only to encourage some more beginner yoga students to enjoy this class! Thanks!
