Hanuman Fun

I can't do all the poses yet, but I can see I WILL get there if I keep doing this!

Lovely class! Perfect if you want to work on your hamstring flexibility while still flowing and strengthening.

Wow, that was incredible! My whole body feels stronger and more open. Going to recommend this flow to my husband who is a runner and a rower. I feel amazing right now. Thanks, Christa!

This was great! Such an interesting and fun flow, and beautiful ballet-esque movements at the start. I've never done Crista's classes before, but she's lovely, and I'm keen to check out more! :-)

I love this playful, expansive, and challenging sequence!

I love Crista’s classes and this was an especially fun one. My hips feel so open now, while my arms feel strengthened. A great workout in just half an hour. Thanks Crista!

This was awsome, very fun as the title says, even found myself laughing at my failure towards the end. Looking forward to getting better with this sequence !
Also, doing this post run, I found it to be a good leg stretch.
I expect to come back to this class a lot, I might just do the splits for the first time in a very long time !
Thank you !

Excellent sequence! Hanumanasana has always been difficult for me, so I probably wouldn't have chosen this class on my own (I did it as part of the Empower challenge). Although I still have to prop up my hips in full Hanuman, this class sneakily led me into feeling my most stable in hand-to-big-toe pose!

This was amazing! I have problems with my hip abductors and the movements in this class felt so good. I think this will help me improve my abductor strength and mobility. Thank you so much, Crista! Your classes are always so challenging and creative.

Absolutely lovely class. Thanks Crista. I was slightly distracted by your repetition of the word 'please'. I've never heard this from a yoga teacher before and it seemed a little strange and unnecessary.... Great class regardless!

This was an awesome practice. Thank you!!!

Fantastic,different, inspiring. Thank you so much for brightening my days!

Best class. I just loved this in its entirety. I could do this every day. Thank you so much.

LOVE this class, I can't believe how open my tight hips feel. Thank you.

I adore this class. It's my favourite go-to when I've only half an hour in the morning, and do it at least once a week. Week by week the transformation reveals itself. Thank you, Crista and David, this is a gem.

4/6/19 I am intimidated by hanumanasana, so this was a challenging practice, but totally do-able with Crista's cues and modifications. Even if hanumanasana is not accessible to you, this class helps to deeply open hips and hamstrings.

This class is great for strength, flexibility, and balance. Just what I was looking for!

Love your class ! Thank you Crista!

so much fun and such a great stretch for glutes, hammies and lower back. i have never got that deep into hanuman before and nv=ever enjoyed it so much. thank you xx

I enjoy your classes so much. They are creative, challenging and fun. Thank you!

Such a beautiful practice I felt it in every part of my body, amazing One of my favourites ... Thank you so much Christina

Crista makes every class fun and challenging with no pressure. She's introduced me to so many new moves, I love it. Thank you.

Such a great class! What a wonderful instructor.

Challenging and fun class. I feel clumsy and uncoordinated doing some of the poses but it's fun. I feel invigorated. Thank you.

This practice had a soothing fluid flow. I have never tried transitioning from extended side plank to hanumanasna before and was surprised at how nicely it flowed together. A very fun practice! As always I enjoyed your smile and joyful energy. Namaste'

Loved it! Wonderful hip openers, I feel like I have so much more space!

I love the surprises that Crista presents. It was fun to do some new sequences and positions. Way to shake it up!
I didn't accomplish all, but I'm truly looking forward to trying this again and again. Thank you

Fantastic, fun and masterful flow class with constant movement and a dancerly feel to open up the hips in ways I never knew possible, in order to work towards hanumanasana. Also some advanced versions of side plank, worked with creativity and invention. Crista is an amazing teacher and this class is so great. It works up a real sweat, there are some interesting challenges and it is amazingly playful.

Such a fun and different class. Thank you so much!

graceful, challenging, fun, flexible, inspiring...

I’m glad I warmed up with a short practice prior to this class. It jumps right into movement and balances. I had so much fun it felt like the time flew by! I almost wish it were a bit longer. I will certainly return to this practice as it is perfect for building strength, coordination and flexibility. Christa does a lovely job challenging, guiding, and encouraging along the way. I am especially thankful for the queues on alignment and stability. I really felt empowered and safe even in some very challenging sequences. Thank you for a bright and happy class!

Christa is certainly creative... and there were some good stretches toward the end of this class. Personally, I prefer a bit more warm up at the beginning of a class before diving into certain moves and balances. But overall, it was a pretty good class.

You never know what comes next, with Crista! You're quite the Hanuman Sprite!
Loved the creative flow and unusual sequences and transitions, esp. with all the great side stretches.
And definitely doing modifications on side plank / Hanumanasana for the time being :-)

Love your new to me poses...and your engaging smile Crista.

This wonderfully-flowing class was great for my very-tight hamstrings. The modifications helped me through the poses without hurting my knees. There are so many classes on DYWM that I try to not repeat, but this class will be part of my workout routine.

Thank you so very much!

This was a great and challenging workout. I love it...Took my mind off of the stretching being intense. Very well done and a great teacher...Will do it again

This class has it all...challenges, flow, fun and a great total body workout. Krista is a wonderful teacher who gives instructions very well while using a soothing voice.

Amazing hip openers and stretch for the IT bands, this felt sooo good after a lot of running! Thank you for this fantastic class. Will keep coming back to it and hopefully one day will be able to do the full expression :-)

Krista, my body thanks you for this practice. The best part of this practice was how open and stretched you made my body feel. As usual, I love your creativity, and I can't help smiling when I see your sparkly smile. Thank you for your energy and your sweet, sparkly spirit.

These two words don't usually go together in my practice but, as usual, your creativity (that transition from Vasisthasana to Hanuman - woah!) and sparkling energy made this a class I already wanted to repeat as soon as I'd completed it. Thank you lovely Crista and DYWM. You're an inspiration.

That was so much fun! I smiled all the way through. Thank you Christa for your creativity.

Christa is such a great teacher! This class is an awesome addition to her offerings. I especially appreciate her creative transitions and upbeat energy.

Thank you for this fun class! Can't quite do the full expression yet, but I had fun trying! I feel so much more open after this. :)

This class has the perfect combination of flexibility and strength building for me. It's a perfect hip opening class!

This class pushed me to do poses. Loved some of the transitions! Feel heart & hips opening further. Many thanks ❤️

Good way to push to do extra. Can definitely tell I am getting stronger. Thanks DYWM
