just dived back into my yoga practice. I absolutely loved your video. Thank you so much! You have a very relaxing voice!
wonderful practice!, thank you so much Guy
Thank you. Slow but powerful. Getting over the flu and need to expand my breath. Just what i needed.
Thank you very much for this, a great start to my day.
Thanks so much guy! Slow and effective flow! loved it!
Nice energetic slow flow to start the New Year. Thank you
I’m at the level of beginner I, I was able to do the first 30 minutes. I will come back to this session in six months to see how much I’ve improved
Always like this practice and I come back to it often.
I loved the class and will come back to it many times. That said, I had difficulties / nearly didn't manage in the "goddess feet" part to stay upright in the back since my body wanted to lean forward at a 45° angle instead. Any ideas / tips how to avoid that would be amazing. If it is relevant to the question, I am in a larger body.
Great slow flow practice with creative additions!
Thanks Guy. this was a clear and simple practice. I enjoyed the gentle integration of martial arts.
Fantastic class. Guy is an excellent teacher and it would be lovely to see more from him.
Wonderful!
Great class! thank you! I'm doing the 14-day Slow Flow Challenge and this was a lovely progression from class #1. When I read "sun salutations", I thought: Oh no! But these were gentle. I also loved how you integrated tai chi movements into the asanas, which served to build strength in the pose. I will come back to this one frequently!
I love this class! Thank you for such a meditative yoga class. Much needed right now!
Lovely class! Thank you so much. Namaste
My second time with this practice but now I'm doing it within the 7-day beginner/intermediate challenge. Always love Guy's calming way and his little touches of humor.
Beautiful calming class. Thank U so much Guy!
Second time around, good relaxing lesson. Thank you
I was getting over a cold today and enjoyed the focus on breathing. Guy has a very calm approach but at times this class can get vigorous. For me it was a good evening practice. Thank you Guy!
Thank you. A marvelous class. More slow flow for intermediate ++.
Wonderful morning routine to set the day in a good direction.
Thank you! I love slow flows too!
All good except trying to come halfway up with my hands on the floor after forward fold. I need to bend my knees almost 90 degrees just to get my fingertips to the floor. To straighten my legs a little and bring my back horizontal, I need to move my hands up to my knees.
Fair point. I’ve got pretty extreme hip flexibility, so while it might look easy in my body I know that it’s not possible for lots of folks to get their hands to the floor without bending their knees. You’re doing exactly the right thing by bringing your hands higher on your legs in the 1/2 way lift pose. Keep doing what works for you!
I use to bring my hands to my thighs when coming up to half fold too and then my hands were placed lower on my legs and then eventually finger tips to the floor - you will get there.
Thanks Guy. I love these gentle movements, especially the monkey offering. On to practice #3 of this challenge now.
Thank you Guy for this great class, I trully appreciate how you integrate the meditation into the class and how the class advances helping me reach new poses that I didnt know I could achieve. Thank you!
Really loved the flow of this this class and feel too much better for having done it. So clearly demonstrated and explained.
Love this class. I love the slow flow...it gives me time to concentrate on the important parts of the movement. Thank you!
Thank you very much Guy for this wonderful class and your guidance.
Very relaxing with great stretching too. I really enjoyed this and am enjoying the challenge so far, as a whole.
GREAT CLASS - thank you so much.
Thank you for this wonderful class! It was exactly what I needed this mornig. Please more slow flows :)
I’ve been doing yoga for a long time, but until this class I didn’t realize I’d fallen into a habit of forgetting to link my breath with movement! And I feel so relaxed afterwards! Thanks so much, and I’m really enjoying the series.
I just wanted to say thank you Guy for this wonderful class. As someone who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and anxiety - this class is simply perfect for when I want something a bit more active. Your light-hearted and straightforward teaching makes for a meditative yet technically precise practice. I hope we see more of you soon!
Thank you. This was a very good class to wake up the body after a year-long absence of yoga. The core needs to build and the low back gain strength again. Holding the strong poses, I am very aware of the musculature. I'll repeat this tonight !
Bonjour,
J'adore ce cours, je le pratique régulièrement. Le rythme, la voix, les exercices, c'est tout bonnement parfait. A la fin du cours, on se sent bien.
Guy, pouvez-vous proposer un 2ème cours du même style et légèrement plus avancé ?
Merci, Namasté
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoy the class. I'm about to film several more classes and will be including one that is more challenging. It will be a few months before you see it on this site -- but hopefully it will be what you're looking for. All the best, Guy
Helpful & appreciated! One request, which applies to others’ videos too not just yours: that you pause slightly between statements/sentences. I have some hearing loss, and need more time to grasp what’s said, so pacing and spacing of speech is a major factor in my fully comprehending. Clarity of consonants is particularly important. This seems to be true of many w hearing loss.
Hello and thank you for your feedback. I do have a bit of a tendency to mumble my words -- it's been a life-long thing -- and will do my best to accommodate your request. I think that speaking slowly, and with clarity, is certainly a valuable life skill! All the best, Guy
This was a fabulous way to ease into a workday. More slow yoga please with the lovely chimes. Slow is beneficial to all. Thank you Guy.
So nice to receive your comment ... it was a great way to start my day! There's more slow flow on the way ... keep watching. All the best, Guy.
Peaceful, healing class. Just EXACTLY what I needed this morning! Thank you Guy!
Guy, this is a fabulous class. The addition of QiGong type movements brings a new energy to the practice.
It is perfect for me, an advanced beginner...or beginner intermediate!
Lovely class. Am a fan of slow flows as well. Thank you.
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed the class.
Yes please more slow flow, thank you.
Excellent gentle practice. Guy has a very soothing voice to listen to. Feeling great. Thanks.
My first Guy virtual class! Missed camaraderie of 1515, but I did have natural light instead! My jet-lagged body thanks you - I'll be back! Joanna
Joanna! So good to "see" you here! I hope you had a great trip and are now easing your way into retirement. All the best and hope to bump into you somewhere around town, Guy
