Nice pace and flow. I could not do forearm stand and will not be working on it although I do like the opportunity to see it done. Thank you.

Really loved the current of this flow. I couldn't do the elbow headstand or forearm stand but that didn't matter at all, they are a tiny part of the class and give the opportunity of strength building on tiptoes! So I encourage anyone who feels a little overwhelm at the mention of them not to be put off :)

I really loved the flowing movements in the practice and surprised myself by being able to do the elbow handstand. Mostly I love Crista's joyful spirit. The ending mantra with her lovely voice felt so sweet and satisfying. Thank you

I agree as well. I love her joyful spirit and when she does mantras too. I wish she did more mantras. Her classes always leave me on a great natural high. : )

I didn't do the full elbow headstand or forearm handstand so I mostly found this to be a gently paced, laid back class.
