I have always had the hardest time with half moon pose and maintaining balance/alignment, it has always felt off for me. This time, I feel like I was finally aligned properly and was able to hold the balance for much longer than I have been before! Thank you!

What a super class. The usual incredibly intricate and detailed cueing from Rachel as we worked towards the peak half moon poses. When I practice at home, it's on a carper, so can be wobbly underfoot. The progressions really helped me find stability as I opened up. Heartfelt thanks Rachel for another beauty of a class.

Most yoga classes focus only on the INNER hip. I appreciate the balance in also offering classes that work the OUTER hip. My problem spot! I frequently wake in the middle of the night with outer hip pain. Great sequence that I definitely plan to come back to! Thanks, Rachel, for your helpful instruction to help keep us safe when moving in and out of poses. Many thanks!

I enjoyed the vinyasas and detailed instruction on form for protecting knees and "scrubbing" new things! ; ) I even worked up a bit of a sweat and feel nice and flexible in my hips now. Thanks for such a nice sequence, Rachel.
