Dontcha Love Hip Openers?

This class was SO satisfying! I also did a bound side angle pose on both sides! It’s been awhile since I could do that! I did this class as day 6 of 7-Day Intermediate/Advanced Vinyasa Yoga Challenge.

"Different culture... and no lawsuits." HAHAHAHA
Thanks for an awesome class ^_^ I feel super flexible now.

Before this class, I was feeling a lot of pain and tension in my neck, shoulders, and lower back. I now feel renewed and restored with much more space, ease, and strength in my body. Thank you!

Great sequence. Challenging but satisfying , and a bit different.

Thanks so much Crista. This was just what I needed. In fact, I think it’s my favorite of all classes I’ve done on this site. It’s intermediate, but not too difficult, and the instruction is perfect. I really like the comments about relaxing the mind as well as the body. With every breath, I felt the stress release from my body and the shivasana at the end isn’t rushed - perfect!

This is an exceptional class Crista. The movements and poses are so dynamic and fun. The transitions are great too. And it's paced to feel so effortless even though you're doing so much. And I love when you incorporate such fluid movements in poses that are otherwise very angular. I loved it, thank you.

Amazing! my heart, soul, and body feel like molasses!

You have taught me so much with this class! I have shorter arms and could never jump up to the front of the mat from downward dog. I noticed you tent your fingers before you jump, and when I tried this it gave me a couple of extra inches clearance and now I jump gracefully every time!! Also, you are the first instructor to mention that it's OK to have your heels a little off the ground when you do crow pose. I always struggled with this pose, but with my heels up a little I was able to do it and now my heels even sit on the ground most of the time. You are a very talented instructor. Thank you so much!

Strong class - with a smile. What a lovely teacher :) thanks

Amazing Class ! Amazing spirit for a enjoyable deep practice. Thank you very much Christa !

Many thanks Miss Christa! Nice sequence!

One of my favorite practices on the site, by one of my favorite yogis! Thanks Christa, I needed that!

I always love Christa’s classes and this one doesn’t disappoint!
She sure knows how to get into those hips!
Thank you Christa

My hips thank you!! Amazing creative class.

What a fantastic practice! I feel empowered and energized! I love the movements within some of the poses. Thank you Christs! You rock!

This is exactly what I needed today, thank you!! Also, "put your knee up or don't- you're still a good person." Hahaha I love Crista.

A beautiful hour practice,

Nice practice, so creative and fun, I really enjoyed it!

I loved how everything tied so nicely together and progressed. Such fun.

Thank you Christa! What a great class - strong flow and creative transitions lead to restorative hip openers. Brought just enough heat to make more space. I will revisit this class often. Namaste

I love how Crista has me moving all over the mat, not to mention the smile factor :) Hard to take it all too seriously with Crista's playful approach. Thanks for the workout and the laughter, Crista.

This was a fun practice and Crista is such a lively and spunky yogi.

Christa,

My hips totally needed this practice,

Thank you SO much~this class is awesome!

This is one of my new faves. Felt so great after doing Fiji's Flow Into Feeling class two days ago, my outer hips were still feeling the flow!

Great class Crista, I loved everything about it! Great pace of the flow, transitions, and yes, the hip openers! Also loved the setting where it was filmed! Namaste!

Crista's classes are fun and challenging. I appreciate the joyful attitude and the good manner "pleases."

This was such a wonderful class! I loved all of the creativity and how much emphasis there was on flowing with the breath. This was great for my hips! Crista does a great job guiding you through the sequences.

Love the class. It's very considerate of you, Crista, to say "please" with your instructions, but I'd be happier to just have the instructions.

Loving the infinite / inFUNite creativity of Crista! Once again, an hour flew by while doing so much goodness for the body.
Beautiful setting too (Taylor Beach?) and harmonious colour coordination :-)

Thank you for this creative and unique class, it feels so supple and expanding

Another great class with Crista. She is such a creative teacher and I'm always happy when I find a new long class of her. It is a pleasure to practise with her.
