Open Your Hips and Fly

Thank you Crista. That was amazingly wonderful for my hips. 💜🙏🏼

Thank you Crista. That was amazingly wonderful for my hips. 💜🙏🏼

I did this workout yesterday it was amazing my hips felt amazing it is on the more challenging side but it was perfect for me i like it when it gets a little challenging but not too much

I tend to be just a little afraid of Christa's classes as she can be quite challenging, but I've done this one several times and enjoy it immensely. My neck and shoulder prefer I skip the head and hand stands, but at 64, I felt really strong throughout the practice and almost fell asleep during the ocean wave lullaby at the end.

Super clear instruction, interesting long sequences and Crista's postivity and silliness make this a class to come back to. If your hips are not super flexible it's handy to have some yoga blocks nearby

AHHHH this was*perfect*. Just delicious. Thank you Crista!

Fantastic class. I am experiencing a lot of work stress at the moment and Crista really took me away from this. What I really like is how challenging this class is, yet so accessible to those- like me who are not quite at that challenging intermediate level. Crista provides clear instruction of either trying to go further or to stay just where you are. Very often I need to stay put, but appreciate the opportunity to see how I am progressing.

Wow, one of the best yoga classes I've ever taken! I accomplished two firsts in this class! This class was challenging and fun, but also, Crista's calming voice and fun, encouraging spirit made me want to do well, while also taking care of my body. I love all the humming and breathing to remind me to stick to my breath. Wow, just wow! Thank you Crista!

I love this class! Thanks. Practicing yoga is helping me a lot during the confinment. :)

This is a beauty of a class! Thank you, Crista.

Loved this class and will definitely be returning often! Christa is precise with her cues and instructions - reminding you to do all the little nuances that make the poses strong and sweet. Her infectious smile is lovely and I adore her 'happy sighs'! They remind you how GOOD yoga can feel!

Crista's classes are always friendly and beautiful. Thank you for clear and informative instruction. Your smile is lovely and contagious! You know it's good when you can find yourself upside down smiling! :D namaste

I enjoy Crista's classes and her pace. Fun, relaxing but still a nice workout. Please add more Crista classes.

This class is so wonderful, every time I do it I remember again how much I love it. Definitely top three videos on the site if not the absolute favorite!

Christa, I absolutely love your classes. This one is perfect for hip release and grounding emotionally. Thank you!

This is an amazing series of stretches that open the hips and leg muscles. Absolutely love Christa’s relaxing voice and happy sighs of contentment. Practising this class against the gorgeous pebble beach, lapping waves and birds seals the pure bliss of the class. Thank you Christa. This is a favourite of which I’ll return to again and again!

Beautiful everything! Thank you! How impressive!

This is the first class I ever took on DoYogaWithMe. It's a great class! Challenging but attainable and helped get that deep stretch I'm looking for to ready myself for my 10K Turkey Trot. Thanks!

I love this class! I am still working up to all the handstand positions but this is the best fix I've found for sitting in an office chair all week! Will definitely be taking this class again! Thank you!!

Wonderful class! Too hard for me, but it gives me something to aspire to!

Wonderful class that did the trick to loosen the oh so tight hips from running! Thanks Christa!

Christa, many thanks to you. At the end of this session I cried for an unknown reason...one of those good, relieving cries. I'm grateful for your charm, tactful approach, and kind spirit.

Really enjoyed this class! It's getting bookmarked for sure.

Namaste

thank you

Awesome!

"Relax your beautiful face" Delightful. Thank you.

Oh wow, that was tough! I am looking forward to trying again after completing the 30 day challenge to see how this class feels different to me.

Crista, thank you for a beautiful, fun, and helpful class!

Loved the way it was gently guided to seeing where I still need to let go, aiming for flight!

Thank you for a light-hearted yet spiritual practice. It felt SO good for my hips and shoulder especially. I also appreciate the longer savasana with the sound of the surf! Wow, i feel fantastic.

Really enjoyed this practice this morning. I have a lot of hip problems, and my hips feel loose and open coming out of this class. I haven't done a lot of yoga classes and was able to follow by sticking to some of the simpler variations on the poses, but this class could certainly be more challenging if you take on all the variations.

Who would have known 'challenging poses' can be introduced in such a joyful, playful yet safe, spacious, surprising way?!
Love your pixie lightness and brightness, Christa - my first class with you. A fun and uplifting way of starting the week! The variety in the 30 days is a great medicine, and introduction to new-to-me Yoga teachers. Will do more DYWM with you, Christa!

I adore your sprightly spirit, it is such a pleasure to flow with you! And the Ocean. I feel so open and ready to give energy back, thank you- namaste!

Great different practice, loved the water on the background- namaste!

My hips LOVE Crista right now. So does my mind. For all of her insane transitions, Crista brings an unparalleled experience of peace to her practices. It keeps me coming back. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for such a great practice today. Loved the sound of the waves in the background and the fun noises when I really needed them!!

Woah! That was outrageous. Thank you.

Super fun practice, Crista! Thank you!

I love how Crista's classes are always lighthearted, fun, and unexpected. She continually surprises me in her combinations, and I had fun doing the handstand hops. Thanks Crista!

thank you for this beautiful sequence, challenging in places, in a good way.
Namaste.

Enjoyed the fun streching variety !

I'm so glad to be participating in the 30 day challenge as i've taken classes with teachers i've never taken them with before. It's a wonderful journey - thanks!

WONDERFUL, feeling so alive after this class.

Really enjoyed the balance of effort and ease. Perfect length for a thorough practice too.

This is my favorite yoga video! I am a marathon runner and find that this strengthens and lengthens all of the right spots. Plus, the instructor is so cute and fun. She makes it the right kind of silly and is such a joy. Thank you, Crista!

I really enjoyed this class. The instruction was clear and thoughtful, the poses challenging but appropriate, and the pacing excellent. I'll definitely be back for these hip openers again!

I'm new to yoga, only doing it couple of months now, but I can feel the change already. Crista's class is great I could feel My body opening up even though I couldn't complete some poses completely. She is very good at explaining and makes me smile too.

This video was great not only for the hips, but for the chest and shoulders, too!
