Hatha Yoga for Arm Strength

This is a great class for those of us who are less flexible than average. More like this please!

Yes a challenge, but a good one. Think I’ll add this to my regular mix to build arm strength.

A nice practice and Anatasia is a good teacher however....

This is challenging for beginners/new to intermediate poses. You need wrist/hand/arm strength. I would, in my opinion, have a few more wrist exercises/breaks in between the poses.

Overall, a good arm / hand practice to build strength.

Great class! Relaxed pace but challenging at the same time! Will return to this more often to build my arm strength. Thank you!

Fun class :)

maybe I need to start the month again, I couldn't keep up at all

I love all your classes, will you be making anymore in the near future?
Namaste!

...of a challenge. I'm realizing after being consistent with yoga for the past year that my arms and shoulders are a bit weak. This was a perfect amount of challenge for me.

This was challenging but not too much so.

The poses were not held for too long and the class length was good. Nice to have something challenging at this stage in the 30day challenge

Touch class! EWill have to repeat it many times.

Arms are tired!

Great activation for the arms, vocal cuing was mostly macro made me a bit lost and rushed through poses. Still a good short practice though.

I was definitely doing some shaking! lol awesome class

Tough! But still great

As many others have said, this is a very challenging practice but one to revisit as I get stronger. It’s now my aim to complete this practice as my upper body and core gain strength.

Very challenging.

Wow...challenging but invigorating. Time to get serious....

whew! trying to strengthen after injuries! toughie!

I have carpal tunnel in both wrists so I found this class to be frustrating. I have alternate wrist positions that I try to use but then it was difficult to keep up changing my positioning constantly. I will try this again once my wrists are better as it is a great arm workout.

Very good instructions. I tried but just don’t have the strength.

Challenging, very nice

Like many of the other reviews, this showcased my shoulder and arm weakness. Something to improve I suppose. Luckily I knew how to modify some poses like dropping the bottom knee in side plank and going into table top in reverse plank. I don't have the strength for this class so variations definitely would be helpful.

I didn't realize how weak my upper body is until I did this workout. I still enjoyed myself.

This was definitely a challenge for me but gives me something to work towards!

I found that, as there were no options for positions, I wasn't able to do all of the positions such as the 'side plank'. But as this is described as a 'challenging' beginners class so this comment is not a criticism, more an acknowledgement of my own difficulties as a beginner, never having attempted the plank and some of the one-legged downward facing dog poses before.

This one is very challenging class. Thank you Anastasia

Very challenging for me
Like it :)

Great for arms and shoulders. Anastasia really takes the time to clearly explain each pose. Thank you.

Wow! Very different from prior classes. Don't have the arm strength yet but will return to this class.

My arms are weak! I probably should do warm up exercises before doing this class again.

Definitely challenging but just what I needed!

Some wonderful challenges but I needed a few modifications, particularly on the reverse plank, where sadly I'm missing some core strength. Something to work towards and try again, more than a few times. I'll be proud when I'm stronger.

Very challenging class. I spent more time in child's pose then doing the poses as I don't have the arm strength yet.

A good class but very challenging for beginners. Something to aim for. More guidance on alignment and flow would’ve been helpful too.

Had to drop out of most poses. Really shows how tough this can get

This class didn’t really flow for me. I think I needed more instruction on proper form for most of these poses.

This was the first one I've had to quit in the middle. It provided something for which to aim in the future, though.

I had to adapt every pose on my own in order to be able to at least attempt this. Some options for those who don't have enough strength would be nice.

Good class but not beginner. I do not think chaturanga & wild thing are beginner poses.

Too challenging for me. I had to quit somewhere along the class.

Challenging but I loved it!

Really challenging but I have felt my core getting stronger over the last couple weeks from this challenge. My wrists hurt more than anything in some of the later positions. May need to focus on strengthening them.

I usually pay less attention to my upper body, so this class was very good for me, even a bit challenging in some poses. Will do it again.

Very intense workout for the arms.

Excellent. Quite a challenge

tough for an old guy

This is great. I will bookmark it and build my arm and core strength.

Challenging, side planks not good on bad knees

Great challenge

Doesn't resonate with me personally
