This challenging beginner hatha yoga class is packed from start to finish. Anastasia leads you through a series of poses that prepare your body for halfmoon pose (ardha chandrasana), such as triangle pose (trikonasana), revolved triangle (parivrtta trikonasana), pigeon pose (kapotasana), a sequence of delicious reclined leg stretches and some core work. This full-length class will leave you feeling good from head to toe.

Wonderful class, thank you so much.
12/30/20. Revisiting this gentle practice. Nothing is forced, pace is quite slow and allows for plenty of breath and feeling into sensation.
I loved this class! Thank you Anastasia......will definitely be doing this again.
Quite challenging for me - I couldn't keep my balance in "halfmoon pose" - but it felt great. One of those classes that makes me wonder why I don't do one every day. I'll come back to it for sure!
Agree, half moon will take many more attempts. Great class
challenging for me excellent instructions
Disappointed that this class is one that you have to pay for when it is part of the 8 week beginner course.
Hi there. Do you mean the Ongoing Beginner Program?
Yes, that’s the one.
Just what I needed today! This was my first class on DoYogaWithMe and it was a perfect start!. Thank you
Great class! It felt great, and the instruction was very clear. We all loved it! The audio isn't synced up fully to the video though, and equipment is both a block and a strap.
I just did this class for the first time and I loved it! It's has the right level of challenge for me.
Lovely practice Anastasia. Thank you <3
Really lovely, gentle and opening practice. Perfect for a day when my energy is a bit low - relaxing and calming. Loved the entry into Sugarcane posture! Felt so stable. Thank you!
Feeling so comfy after doing this class, perfect. Thank you sooooo much
Just what I needed for today -- something slow and stretchy, but with enough strength poses to get me warmed up on a cool day. Absolutely wonderful, deep class.
Loved this smooth yet strong class with Anastasia!
Incl. new ways of getting into pigeon and bound half moon - really worked for me.
And with your calm presence and way of meeting us you also brought the spirit of Cordova Bay (?) Beach right here.
I really wasn't feeling it this morning and was looking for a gentle class but I stumbled on this and ... wow !! I'm so glad I found it, Challenging, powerful yet achievable One of my favourites for sure. Thank you Anastasia
This class offers so much to any level practitioner. I feel like any knot I had prior to class is completely untied. Anastasia takes you to the point of challenge with absolutely no fear. Thank you.
Amazing class!! Thank you so much!! One of my favorites!
Almost opted for a gentler class this morning. So glad I didn't. Really enjoyed tis class.
Fantastic
Oh boy! You made these ol' bones work well this evening. I certainly enjoy your gentle voice and guidance and thank you for not giving me too many directions. ( I'd give you 5 stars if I knew how!)
Nice feedback! You can rate the class by hovering your mouse over the empty stars to the left and clicking on the one you would like to choose.
Thanks. I'll try that hovering thing.
Dhanyawad and namsate , Anastasia! Just the right mix of progression.
Great class. Thank you!
It was a perfect mix of challenging but still being able to do everything.
