This class goes up, this class goes down, this class goes backwards. It gives a little bit of everything, but focuses mainly on twists. It also involves some lovely flowing back bends .
The first time I did this class, I emerged from savasana and said “what just happened??” - in a good way! I come back to it when I need a boost of creativity and energy. I have to pay close attention to follow along, and it’s perfect for getting out of my head and into a greater flow.
Wonderful class from Crista as always. Unfortunately the video kept stopping every 5 minutes or so and each time I would have to start from the beginning again and find where I left off. Very distracting and frustrating.
My body, my mind, my heart and my bones are full of calm and wonder after this playful warming practice. Thank you Christa for reminding my body of movements, it thought, it didn't know. And for reminding my mind, that all is okay <3
Not as intense as other Christa classes but I like she has a shorter intermediate III class. Fits a busier schedule and feels like you still got the benefits of a lengthier Christa class.
Interesting flow and I appreciated the opportunity to practice my headstand! I can’t do side crow so I did the stretch and then a regular crow (both times) which worked out just fine. I feel wrung out in a healthy way! Thank you!
This is a very good class and quite challenging. When you take people through unusual poses it might be wise to have students face the front of the mat so they can see what you are doing. Many of us are more visually oriented. I had to stop the video a few times to turn around and see what you are doing. Thank you for the challenge!
The twists hit some sweet spots - and like the use of the whole mat - changes things up and (bizarrely?) gives a different perspective. Christa's instruction is incredibly clear and on point
For a 66-year-old body that is much more comfortable in the beginner poses, much of this lesson was inaccessible but still enjoyable. Crista has lovely narration. I just substituted liberally.
I always enjoy Crista’s classes and this one is great too! While familiar poses, they felt new moving around the mat. I always enjoy attempting side crow (and I got some air on one side this time!).

Fun class with some great twists. I like the movement to face the back of the mat, a nice change. Thank you.

Definitely challenging.

A lot that I had to modify to fit my body here, and so much to come back to next time. Thank you!

Nice unexpected twists & turns, encouraged by Crista with her sweet playfulness.

So fun and many surprises along the way. I loved working on each side of my mat.

So much fun playing with the variations of and movements within familiar poses!
