This quick class we called 'Core Primer' because Rachel helps you establish a connection to your core muscles so you can practice yoga safely. You can insert this before one of your favorite yoga classes, or if you only have 15 minutes, do it on its own. It will challenge you to maintain the alignment and stability that keeps your body strong, flexible and healthy. Note: the strap is optional.

I think this is very important information to keep yourself protected. Sometimes when doing crunches I overload my back, so thanks for showing me how to prevent this.
During the video I hit my lamp when stretching my leg back which fell over and hit another lamp in my room which fell over and hit my huge glass of water waiting for me for when I finish my practice and it spilled all over my bed. Which made me smile.

I've just started doing the Beginners videos and each one is tough. Thought I would do this short one today for a "rest" and I was limited on time, but it kicked my butt! Obviously I needed it more than I thought! And her style is clear, but encouraging. I'll be doing her videos, including this one, again!

I've never done yoga in my life and decided to try it before I hurt myself working out and maybe get my muscles stretched. This video put me to shame, I fell over at one point because I couldn't keep the balance, and definitely worked up a sweat. It'll get easier eventually, other than that a great video!

I try to do this practice every day. I love the tone and tempo. I begin each of my practices with this video then go on to another practice. This is a fantastic starter!
