Rachel is an expert at sequencing. In this intermediate hatha flow yoga class, she creatively prepares you for the challenging peak pose side crow (parsva bakasana). By the time you get there, your confidence and your body are more than ready to take the weight into your arms.

Hi there! So glad that you enjoyed the class :) Happy practicing!
I have tried for years to get to Side Crow and just thought it wasn't in the cards for me. Through Rachel's methodical and thoughtful building to the pose, I was finally able to do it. It was only on one side, and it was an ever so brief second, but I did it! I feel a sense of accomplishment. Two of my very favorite things about yoga is that the grace is in the process, not the goal, and that each time we come to our mat , it's a brand new experience. Thank you, Rachel, for clear and gentle guidance!
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing these comments! I'm so glad that the instruction was helpful in assisting you to become better friends with Side Crow. YAY!!
Thank you so much. Feel the energy is flowing from Vancouver all the way to Bruges (Belgium). Great class!
Hallo! Love it!!! What a wonderful world we live in where we can practice yoga across the Atlantic:)
Thank you, Rachel! I'm finally getting my side crow back thanks to you. Namaste :-)
Side crow can be so much fun :) Glad it's becoming a friend again!
Every time I do this video, I can tell that I'm getting stronger. Love it!! Thank you Rachel!
Love it!! This is a strengthening practice for sure - so happy you're enjoying it! :)
Hurray! I usually spend too much time admiring those who can pull off a side crow rather than actually doing (or even trying) it. Rachel's excellent instructions let me join that gang. Thanks!
Heather that is so exciting!! So happy you enjoyed the practice :)
Your classes always leave me feeling centered and balanced, Rachel. I especially love the way this builds perfectly into crow and side crow. It's great for days that I'm feeling a little low on energy or need a recovery day, but still want to challenge myself enough to draw my focus in.
Love your feedback - thank you so much for sharing!
Loved this practice! I am just getting into yoga again so couldnt quite do the end pose but I am going to keep trying! Thank you!!
Welcome back to the practice! Glad you're here :)
Great flow, very effective instruction and amazing mix of poses. Thanks, Rachel! :)

Great flow, asanas you do all the time but put together so cleverly. I really loved your energy . Thanks
Wow - did not know I could do that. Many thanks, Rachel!!
So much fun when we surprise ourselves :)
Bit shorter than advertised (it's about 24 minutes and some) but that's not a big deal. Was fun to try a new pose anyway. Thanks for your hard work!
First time to practice with you. Excellent video. Loved it!
Great instruction, challenging pose. Will practice again soon.
Perfect little flow for first thing in the morning when you are short on time! Loved it! Thanks!
I want to congratulate the teacher, it was one of my favorite lessons.
