Incredible class, thank you Crista. The flow was lovely, the story of the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis was poignant and the struggle to get out of the chrysalis at the end had me laughing out loud! Challenging yet accessible, and heart warming.

What a creative and invogorating practice! This practice-- thinking of being trapped inside a chrysalis, as we have been for a year, and fighting our way out--- it released some emotions in my body and brought tears to my eyes during savasana. What a gift, thank you.
