Great class as a sort of refresher for a low intermediate student like me. Hmm ... The only thing is I'd change the title from "Day 2" to "Week 2." There's enough in any of these classes to last at LEAST a week before moving on to the next one!
Absolutely agree. There are so many details I have missed for years.
Thank you Rachel! I have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer with bone metastasis. This is really helping me to stay open and flexible and proud of myself. I have always been active and a yogi for over 20+ years but have fallen away from exercise recently with the pandemic and fatigue and all the craziness in the world. This is just what I need to get myself reacquainted with proper yoga structure and alignment and a mind/body activity, so necessary to keep my sanity. I am very grateful <3
Hello! Oh my goodness, I am so happy to hear that these classes are supporting a greater sense of well-being and sanity. I am VERY glad that you are here. Sending you big hugs from Colorado. XOXO
I am so happy I did this class!!! I stopped doing yoga because I hurt my knee few months back. So glad to have found you! I will renew my membership ASAP!!!!
Loved this great hip workout.. they feel so relaxed & loose now. Thanks too Rachel for such awesome instruction throughout (ALL of your classes) and constant great cues that are so helpful and important to stay focused and in good form! Ahhhh! ...Namaste
Day 2 completed and I feel so good, thank you Rachel. Didnt think I could manage intemidiate but so far so good :-) Thank you for your great "juicy" guidance. Namaste
I love coming back to Rachel's challenge. This class is always a great reminder about hip placement and alignment, and it works your legs like WHOA! Thanks, Rachel, for the great instruction.
You are so so welcome!!! So glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)
Love all of Rachel's classes. Great explanations-Always learn something new.
Fantastic class focusing on hip opening in standing poses.
Rachel does a great job coaching and explaining poses and reminding me to breathe. Great beginner class.
I've been practicing fairly regularly for over 5 years but so far this series has been great for me, taking time to really feel the poses and coming back to the basics to build a stronger foundation
Rachel guides us through a wonderful hip opening class. There is a lot of leg work however it is well worth it to understand how to position your body in various poses. Again, this class is wonderful for beginners, yogis wanting to go back over the basics, and students of YTT.
An IMPORTANT CLASS! This fundamental class was brilliantly done. I found some new ways to work with gravity, finding more stability in Warrior poses and triangles and had quite fun with shifting my ardha chandrasana with the leg, hip, pelvis and chest all so simply, yet profoundly, aligned.
