I have been working a lot of late and unable to practice as frequently as I'd like and this class was perfect for preparing my body to re-commit to my daily practice again. Very informative and gentle. Great for introducing beginners as a first class, to give them all the basics of alignment to carry on into each pose and to rehash those fundamentals that other new yogi's maybe overlooking.

First off, thank you for posting these at 2 a.m. (for the challenge). I wake up at 2 (since I work at ) and wanted to be able to do a workout or yoga right away and this challenge lined up.
Second, when I saw the title of this and the length I instantly didn't want to do it. I have been trying to start a yoga routine for years and have just consistently done beginner yoga because I have never felt like I've gotten any of that down. For example, staff pose (sitting up straight ) has always been so hard for me. I have always just said it was my weak back and if I ever get around to strengthening it I'll be able to comfortably be in staff pose. Well, today I learned that it wasn't a strength thing and just doing the pose properly and stable!
I have felt the stretches (even down dog!) in ways that I have never felt them before and feel like if I continue to actually work on fundamentals, using videos like this, I will actually be able to move into an advanced practice and actually be able to stick with it! This is only day one, but just feeling the way I do about poses and shifting the mindset really gives me hope. Thank you, David.
