I loved imagining my spine as a mast and body as a sail! The slow pace and connection of body and breath was perfect for my practice today.
I followed Ron from youtube to here and joined I was wondering will you have more Ron Steward Videos I have done all four several times and his style is perfectly wonderful. I really look forward to seeing him again ? Can you tell me if this will happen please?
Ron, the intention and visualizations in this class are great. I enjoyed movement and buoyancy that I've never experienced before!
But I really got lost a number of times on what was happening (practically speaking). Like, where I was supposed to face on the mat and what your suggested movements were for my arms. I would love it if you could re-record this with more specific instructions for this. It was substantially less easy to follow compared to other DYWM classes, and I think it could be improved a lot with this small change.

Hi, there.
This is David, DoYogaWithMe's founder. I'll respond for Ron, since I filmed this with him.
Ron's style is that he comes from a dancer/performer background. Because of this, he has a spontaneous style that flows in ways that are unique in the yoga world, but can also make it a little more challenging to follow. So, with most of his classes, it's best to do them a few times until you have an intuitive feel for the sequencing. Then the class becomes more of a dance for you, as well.
I hope that helps.
Take care,
David

I also felt a little bit lost going through this as well. In yoga, we're used to very specific instructions to align our bodies perfectly. Having done one of Ron's other classes here before, I already knew that I was going to need to glance at the screen to see what he was doing several times on my first time through, and that if I got lost it's just fine to do my own thing before coming back. I enjoy the flowing style - it's a change of pace. I do agree that instructions can be unclear in Ron's videos, though, since spatial cues aren't used as often.
A ovely, relaxed practice from start to finish!
