30 Minutes of Power

Loved it! Rachel is a great instructor!

amazing!

Wow! Quite a challenge for a senior! But I did it, need to work more on the arm push ups. Practice, practice...... Thanks.

It’s good for core and upper body, for sure, but there are also a lot of chair poses, warriors and planks that work those quads! Great cues and perfect if you want a power yoga in 30 minutes!

great practice! Starting off with a power pose is so invigorating

this is a keeper for my partner and me

favorite class

Gracious! Definitely strength-building. Thank you! And great cueing, as usual, especially in the first plank. I always learn something new about my alignment in Rachel's classes.

That was indeed empowering! Thank you Rachel.

The key word in this practice is "power." Poses and positions held a little long, but nothing too difficult to keep up or modify for an intermediate level. I think of this practice as a good way to awaken some muscles I've been neglecting while away from my regular practice.

I just discovered this class and holy smokes!! Love!! Looking forward to doing this one again and again. Thank you <3

OK Rachel, with most yoga practices we allow the body to warm up and gather some heat. So why do you begin immediately with an elbow plank and hold it for how long (?) ... one minute? I fortunately went for a 60 minute "warm up" run before the practice ... but my partner had not ... it was brutal!

This was challenging for me but I really liked it! It is energizing! Thankyou Rachel!

This was a great class. Can you do a I hr session like this with some standing poses? Your cues are perfect.

Was short on time. Needed a quick, energetic class. This is what I was looking for and my body felt great afterwards! Definitely will be doing this class again. Thanks!

Great class! The verbal instructions were spot on, making it easier to focus on the poses and not the screen. Thank you so much!

This was one of my first classes with Rachel and I just love her emphasis on alignment. I never thought the subtle movements of my feet would make such a difference!

This is a good practice if you'd like guidance on alignment, positioning, and body awareness through most poses. Rachel is really good at explaining what's important. Poses are held longer than in a flow class, which is good for strength as the title suggests! Still, this one is on the lighter side so it's totally accessible for someone with a regular practice.

One of my favorites on this site! I keep coming back to it when I want a mini-workout with my yoga and I'm short on time. I love how clear Rachel's instructions are- even a beginner wouldn't have an issue following her. Thanks for a lovely practice, Rachel!

Thanks Rachel, love this session - really gets me up and going. Your explanations are clear.

Great flow...probably not meant for the day after leg day lol.
Thank you for a great sequence.
Your style of teaching resonates with my own style so interesting to listen to it as a student.

Absolutely love this sequence. A great energiser at the start of the day.

I love this practice! Perfect amount of time on a busy day, and hits everything for strength and some stretch.

This was amazing! I’m in that middle area between beginner and intermediate and this is perfect for that “place”. I can also see it being good for an intermediate who wanted to slow things down for a bit but still wants to work! Good job!

Thank you for an energising session. I checked my heart rate during the flow and I was just below 70% of my maximum heart rate which is a high moderate level of aerobic exercise. Happy days! If I work harder it will increase which means i would be getting even more heart benefit. Lovely!

A great all-over body workout in a short amount of time. Loved it!

What a great class to heat up with and build strength.

Loved this half hour stretch and strengthening sequence. Both familiar and new. 30 minutes ago I was groggy. Now, my mind and body are buzzing and I even broke a sweat. Thanks for this great option, Rachel.

Thank you for an invorating morning practice. Just the right amount upon waking and staring a work day. This will be on repeat for me.

Another fab sequence from Rachel - really hit the spot the morning in awakening the body & mind from the off. Any class that starts with a forearm plank is going to do that! The sequence itself was so interesting, dynamic - familiar poses taught with such precision, enthusiasm and imagination just makes me want to do it all over again. Thank you Rachel.

Loved this class. In the past I avoided beginner classes, but am getting to love them!! This one was a super workout. Love taking time to really focus on proper alignment and technique. Thanks for another amazing class, Rachel!

this video makes me love myself

I don't normally choose beginner classes but it was Rachel, so how could I not! This was a nice little work out, I'll come back again for sure!

I loved this class, but it's not what I would call a "flow" class. Definitely more holding poses and repetitions of movements to build strength and heat. - quite a little workout, actually! Nice way to get moving this morning - challenging but ultimately relaxing. Thank you, Rachel!

It was a nice core training! Feels more like a gym work out :)

Thanks Rachel! That was simply perfect for my morning!

I loved this class, both challenging and great value. Thanks Rachel!!!

Love your energy and enthusiasm Rachel; also brisk teaching style. A fairly challenging class to rise up to! cheers.

This is a wonderful class in a short amount of time. I did this after running on a very cold morning--it was perfect to warm up my body and stretch before moving into the rest of my day. Thank you.

Wonderful flowing powerful practice. Rachel mixes in a nice challenge with great instruction. The core and leg focus is balanced and new. Thank you, Namaste.

Always like Rachel's classes. This one is excellent.

Really worked my body and even though it is listed as beginner, it gave me a good challenge. Nice teaching style and explanation of poses!
