This practice with Josh is a strong vinyasa class to wake up your glutes. We will open and strengthen the hips in poses like half moon and side plank. Stronger options will be offered.
Everything about Josh has been said by my fellow yogis in the comments before. I might add: Since Josh joined the team I have come a long way with him - forward Thanks!
I find myself really looking forward to Josh's classes. He gives clear instruction for his well-rounded workouts, and does so with a naturally cheerful attitude. Keep the classes coming, Josh! Thank you.
I loved the suggestion of checking to see if you can still see your lifted leg in half moon and that you shouldn't be able to if it's in line. It made all the difference. Also Josh, you make it feel like it's an in person class in the way you instruct and cheer us on.
This class was lovely. Covered the basics in a new way with Josh's clear direction (and playful ... I love when an instructor also wobbles in a standing balance). Thank you!
After months of going back to beginner classes while I nursed a shoulder injury, this was a very welcome class. I loved the flow and clear instructions from Josh. I felt strong and balanced and enjoyed his sense of playfulness. I also look forward to seeing more classes from Josh. Thank you!
Really love Josh's style - mellow delivery with excellent cues. Also really appreciate his use of blocks. The guidance for top leg alignment in Half-Moon made a huge difference for me, as well as the cues to use the heels to engage the glutes. I know I will be feeling this class in my hips/glutes tomorrow. Thanks, Josh!
An absolute revelation, thank you Josh. Your teaching style is wonderful and awareness of the heels brings a whole new stability. :) very important class.
Fun Class. I didn't even know what glutes are now I'm working it. I enjoyed the pace and clear instructions. Sometimes I like having a new instructor whose methods are new to me, and the slight twists and variations keep things interesting. I will look for more Josh Chen Classes. Thank you.
This was a great class! I felt steady and calm even through the challenging parts. Josh really brings a sense of ease to the practice and it went by so quickly. I'd love to see more intermediate strength-building classes from Josh!
Amazing class, I love that Josh uses the blocks, sometimes I feel guilty for grabbing them in tough posses. Excellent instruction. I look forward to seeing more classes by him.
Thanks Josh, wonderful practice! I noticed that you are not listed in the „teacher“ section on the DYWM website. Would be wonderful to fix that so that I can search more of your sessions.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the class! In regards to the search, are you using the filter from the direct home page? We will have to add Josh's name there but in the meantime, his name appears in the Yoga Classes page filter. To get to the Yoga Classes page, please hover over Practice and select Classes.

A wonderful class especially for those of us with underactive glutes. I particularly appreciated the way Josh explained how we can activate our glutes in many kinds of yoga poses, which for me has led to better alignment for my tight hips. I hope to see more classes with Josh on this site!
Awesome class! I felt very proud of myself because I was able to follow the whole class through, and Josh deserves most of the credit for it. Clear instructions, very well structured class, perfect pace and an endearing style to turn a rather demanding practice into a fantastic, very enjoyable yoga class. Thank you Josh!
The video and sound did not sync about half way through.
However, I liked some of the poses and the use of core, balance, and glutes.
I was happy to see Josh laugh, etc.
Fantastic. That I was able to follow to the end despite the video out of sync is a tribute to Josh's clear instructions.
Well done, a good start to our day.
I must have groaned like 7 or 8 times throughout this video and I would consider myself an advanced practitioner! I didn't even notice that the video was out of sync until near the end and even when I noticed, it didn't bother me at all. I relied on Josh's gentle voice to guide me to the end of the practice and I didn't have to look at the screen at all. Great practice. Thanks!
I loved the playfulness of this class! It was perfect to stretch after work. Though it was a little bit odd to see Chen doing other pose than the one he was telling us to do, it doesn't ruin the experience. I really hope to see a more advanced class from him (Intermediate III or advanced).

This was my first class with Josh - I really enjoyed it. Clear instruction and I feel stronger and stretched out afterwards.

Yes! Great class, just what I needed :)
Out of sync form the middle onward but easy to follow nonetheless ;)
Great workout!
There’s a little glitch from 30 min that the audio and the video go out of sync...
