Maintain Alignment in Standing Poses

Thank you, David. I enjoyed it very much. Just beginning my membership and very glad I did.

Oh, I figured it out! My subscription had expired! NOW I can enjoy your wonderful classes again! Than you

really frustrated. trying to turn things around for me physically after surgery and PT. Have paid to belong for a couple of years even when not using your format. Then when I am ready to use it, I cannot access. Truly disappointed, David. Pls advise.

I cannot access this video. I am in the Beginner 30 day challenge Day 2. Pls advise.

A nice short class which helped me with stability.

Thank you David!

No music helped me focus on the cues much better.

For this first time in many, many yoga classes I've felt safe in the warrior poses. David's instructions are so clear and well-paced that I can get all the parts working together. Thank you David.

Another nice class from David, thank you. This is labelled as Beginner II which it is, but I think even people with experience will learn something new here. I did.

Excellent class with good, clear and detailed instructions. Feel so much better for doing it. Thank you!

Wonderful class. Seems like a rather simple class of mastering warrior poses, but it is actually very demanding to arrange all your muscles and joints in the right fashion. Thank you David so much!

Amazing!

Great, love it. I'm starting to feel the correct positioning of my body. I notice that when I tilt my pelvis in and pull bell in, that my breath only goes to my chest and not all the way down to diaphragm. I am hoping this awareness is the first step in being able to correct my breath.

Really feel like I’m getting into the correct positions. David has a great way at explaining. Thank you

Excellent. Love the imprinting concept a detailed guidance to correctly achieve the poses.

Great class! Thanks, David!

all I can say is wow. I started yoga in . June/July of 2018. Really liked it so wanted to give yoga a try for a year to see what a diff low impact exercise would have on my physical apperance. I always did in tense cardio to stay fit.

This practice helped me correct my warrior 1 an d 2 stance an d I did not know I was not getting the most from the positions till today.

I totally feel the difference in poses when done correctly!

Love the pace, not too fast, not too slow.

This class helps students go beyond alignment, the pace contributes to imprinting the sense of stability and grounding in the body. Excellent class!

"Whether you know it or not, you are imprinting the sensation of stability in your body... this becomes grounded and ingrained, a part of who you are." YES! The pace of this class allows us, the student, to focus completely in sensing and feeling one's body alignment. Great class!

I'm a beginner, and this routine was just about perfect in length and intensity. I felt challenged but I wasn't stressed near the end. Thanks!

Feeling energized and stronger

Excellent class!

I like that every instructor has a different approach to poses, so it continually gives me new ways to explore the feelings and me edge in a pose. Great follow up to the first day's sitting class. Thanks!

Thanks David for the great class!
Since I stopped doing yoga for a while now, this class was a great reminder of how to hold the poses properly.
I already feel the difference in my body as well as my mood. I feel happier and more energized.
I am looking forward to the class tomorrow.

Short yet very effective

Even as an intermediate-level yogi, I always go back to beginner practices at the start of the New Year. The reminders of proper alignment, core activation, and breathing techniques are invaluable!

Simple, yet very controlled positions that help me to feel very stable.

helpful

Essential to understand that having a good posture and good stability are the keys to having less problems with our bodies, in yoga and other life activities. Thank you.

I can’t wait to see how much much more flexibility I would have the day after. After lesson 1, (I’m about a week behind). I woke up with no pain on my hips for the first in a very long time. Then I went to Tai Chi class and noticed how my feet were pointing forward and it it was easier to move around. Thanks, David.

Really enjoyed learning how to focus properly on the warrior poses

I did my best. I will get better in time with practice.

Great practice.

I have to question the constant "tilt your pelvis back" that you say up until warrior 2. Surely it should be tilt your pelvis forward?

Wonderful as always.

Lovely lengthening feeling in my back and hips.

Enjoyed this as much as Day1 One. Loved the use of the props. :)

bum bum bum

I am loving your new classes with all the attention to alignment. I had to leave my local studio because I was getting injured due to lack of attention to alignment within poses. I now enjoy your site exclusively along with a Pilates practice. I feel wonderful. This class kept me focussed and feeling safe. Thank you David.

I think I did the warrior pose correctly for the first time in my life. Thank you!

The instructions are so clear!

David's classes are always instructive and peaceful - we emerged refreshed and noticed a few things we had not been paying attention to in terms of our alignment. Thanks!

This felt much better than the seated one. I felt so strong and grounded in these poses! It’s amazing how much is going on in yoga even when it looks still and serene. :)

Only the second day and I can feel an improvement already! Namaste

well explained, thank you

Great class!

Good.

As I have not practiced yoga consistently in the last year and a half, these beginner videos are just what I need. I had no idea how weak my body had become and the standing video helped me identify areas that I need to focus on.

The care you take David to help us do the postures correctly is great. Your instructions are clear and precise. I loved the warrior poses and mountain pose today. They never felt so good, now I'm doing them properly. I've switched to this challenge from the senior challenge. Now I feel like I'm doing something.

thanks david
