This thorough, challenging class takes you on a journey toward the peak pose natarajasana, or dancer's pose. Crista prepares you with plenty of spinal bends and openers for the hips, legs and shoulders. You'll feel invigorated and happy after this one!

Amazing practice which opens up the hips and stretches the limbs. Love the scenery, sounds and waves. Thank you Crista! You bring joy to every practice!
I love Krista's classes, her sequences are great and her style is fun. I just wish there were a bit more warm up before we dig in.
This was awesome, loved the longer flow sequences with several challenging poses - left me eager to do each sequence on the other side! Challenging and rewarding, I'll revisit this class over again.
Beautiful class. The entire class slowly progressed toward the peak pose. I also loved the suggestion to switch legs in the air during a handstand, which allowed me a little more "hang time" than usual.
I loved this class it was challenging but felt like a great workout. Christa is always so beautifully encouraging! Will certainly do this one again.
Wowzers! I had not done this practice in quite a while and I forgot how much Crista packs in. I was sweating real good towards the end, but also I found a lot of really nice stretching moments that felt wonderful after having done a good gym workout the day before. It was a good reminder to keep coming back to this one.
This was so much fun. Crista is an amazing instructor, I can tell I'll be coming back to this often :)
Very much enjoyed this challenging routine. Bookmarked! Thanks!!!
Thank you Crista! This was such a challenging and rewarding class from beginning to end.
I've never been able to do Crow before but the way Crista explained it I finally got it! Hooray and Namaste!
Crista has a fun approach to yoga...the things she says are so sweet and endearing, she makes me laugh several times during this practice. This is a tough practice for me but Crista made it fun and approachable. Thank you.
Finding this website has transformed my days. I've now practiced Up, Down and All Around and Divine Dancer several times and love both of these classes. They are fun and challenging, with variety. I so appreciate your continuous coaching cues on form and focus points, so important. Thank you Crista!
Thank you for this fun and challenging yoga practice. This lesson has a different start than I'm used to yoga classes - though I liked it. Your flows are great.
Hadn't done this in a while. I'd forgotten how much fun it is and how challenging! Super class, thank you Crista!
Thanks Christa, exactly what I needed this afternoon! Your cues are perfect and it's just the right amount of challenge for us who slip over the holidays. Thank you for being with me on my mat today. Happy New year 2018!
(I realize some of these videos are dated, but all the ones I've practiced are great, you've all been great teachers for me!)
I love Crista's classes but this one is even more special. It is a challenging flow with relatively short warm-up, in true 'Crista-style'. The mantra at the end is a beautiful way to close down this great practice. Thanks, Crista!
This practicealways leaves me in such a good place. And playful to boot!
Thank you for this amazing class. I feel more centered. I would love to know where I could find that mantra so I could read/learn it and sing it too.
Hi, the mantra is:
Om Hrim Namah Shivaya Tas Mai Shri Gurave Namaha
I bow to that Supreme Consciousness
As the Universal Divine resonance
That vibrates within my heart.
Thanks for asking!
Thank you for adding the smiles. I"d love to know more about the mantra. Could you give me some advice about where to find more about this mantra?
Every time I do a class with you I'm always amazed by your creativity and how quickly the time passes. This class was no exception - thank you for your special teaching and to the behind the scenes team for offering us such stunning places to practice yoga (the sounds of the waves in Savasana was such a treat.) Crista, your beautiful voices matches your sunshiny smile <3
I love this class. Challenging and hits all the spots!
Beautiful - thank you for this amazing practise!
A challenging practice that keeps the mind focused and quickens the breath.The time flew by, leaving me a little sweaty and fully relaxed.
Thank you Christa, thank you DYWM.
Thank you for such a beautiful class. I have amazing peaceful energy after that.
Lovely <3
This class was absolutely amazing. It was such a peaceful yet challenging workout. I really enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the refreshment and a good workout
Thank you Christa, so invigorating, and the perfect mix of challenging, but finding those sweet spots. I feel so much better!
Crista, this video was great! I have loved all of your videos :) You make yoga fun and challenging. Thank you!
Blessed be... chanting at the end seals the peace of this practice <3
