This class may not be considered advanced by some yogis, but it's close. The emphasis is on fun in this 2-part series with Crista. In this class, part 1, she leads you into eka pada koundinyasana II, a challenging arm balance that requires a lot of strength, focus and balance, skills that Crista teaches you in this 40-minute vinyasa yoga class. This class leads to Koundinyasana Fun II, where you will be going through this class again, then proceeding on to Crista's 2nd peak pose, eka pada koundinyasana I. You can find both classes together in Peak Pose: Pose Dedicated to the Sage Koundinya I, which is on our Peak Pose Challenges page. You may need a block or firm pillow for this class.

Thank you so much for this lesson. I just did this pose for the first time ever! I even rewound so I could try a couple more times and I think I really got it now!. Thank you so much for the clear instructions - it;s the first time I've understood the need to really get the back hip onto the elbow. Feeling lots of joy right now :) :)

Thank you Christa for your inspiring guidance!! I did this class for the first time today and it was the closest I've ever come to doing that pose! I'm so excited and will return to this particular video again to keep trying. Namaste' -

Instant favourite! This is like a collection of my favourite poses all strung together. Your instructions are so clear, I hardly ever need to look at the screen. I didn't quite manage the peak pose and I think I will have to practise a lot to get my hip onto my elbow, but I felt that the sequence prepared me as well as possible for giving it a try. Thank you! :)
