Intermediate II
This class is perfect if you're needing a wake-me-up after you get out of bed, in the middle of the day or to recharge after a day of work. Crista moves you through a vinyasa flow but begins with nauli kriya, a cleansing exercise that massages the abdomen and helps invigorate the body. You will move and stretch in this short power flow!

Feeling so good! Love this wake-up class!
perfect!
Namaste :) and with gratitude <3
Thank you
Krista is so creative and lovely! I loved the abdomen rolls, was very surprising and actually did feel quite cleansing. What a perfect, invigorating class! Thank you!
Perfect for a quick get up and go. It did leave me feeling motivated to do something more. The belly movement at the beginning is a great thing to know to get things moving inside. Thanks for your cheerful disposition :)
Namaste!
Is it okay to do the belly waves slower & bend knees during the forward leaning hamstring stretch?
Thank you warmly! =)
When time is short yet the need is strong. This class hits all the right notes.
20 minutes of sweetness and joy!
Lovely. slow and quite easy. Interesting abdominal work. a good one to start the week after youve been away for 2 days. Kind of eases you into it
This class definitely helped me to wake up early in the morning. I only wished it were a little longer.
Too short
It may be paired with another session or freestyle =)
The elements of Nauili Krya at the beginning are a great way to wake up. Nice to add to any routine each day.
Great morning practise!
Enjoyed the variety of practices in this class
I like Crista's combinations: lunge w/arms; chair w/lion. And it's rare to find a practice that include nauli. I like to practice it, even if I can't really do it!! It's so good for you, but one of those things I never remember to do.
Any idea if the “ugly” face and sound for cleansing or ?
Nice morning flow and easy to add more if desired. Thanks
Yes!
Thanks
very distressing class - really wonderful -- very powerful for a short class.
thank you, that was refreshing:) My intention is to be at ease:)
Interspersing this class if it's early and I'm short of time. Great
I think I will start every day with this routine, even after the challenge!
Perfect! Just what I needed this afternoon to find focus and serenity :) Thank you Crista!
I enjoyed the plank and twist exercises. It was a good way to energize. Would like a longer class and for me some of the verbal "please" and speed of instruction was distracting.
Great, wakeup
Exactly what I needed: it hit all the right spots! An invigorating, but gentle class that I found great after a end of a long day by a desk.
I work a job that requires me to work doubles often, and this was a great way to re-energize in between shifts. I can also see this practice as a perfect way to start the day.
It may help also to check in with your inner experience from time to time,
feel your feet on Mother Earth, feel your heart center, touch your third eye,
find a tall, aligned, and relaxed alert mountain pose. David & Satiya have videos incorporating this.
and observe the air felt on the tip of the noise
Enjoy a 3 part breath branching deep into the belly, filling the back, moving up through the ribs expanding, shoulders lengthening up an opening the throat. David P has a video on this bit!
Body and mind are open and peaceful. Nice way to start the day, especially hearing the ocean waves in savanna. Thank you, Crista!
I think I've found my new favorite quick wake up class. Thanks for this video!
Great wake up! Crista is my fav! Lion's breath = no stress haha
Loved this short class...excellent pace while working all parts of the body. Thank you.
Good instructions throughout, savasana came quick!
Lovely, thank you. Enjoyed listening to the ocean in the background too!
Very energizing! great short class.
Thank you Crista! I enjoyed this class with smile on :)
A good energizing class. Crista's classes always makes me smile.
I loved the circling/circulation theme of this sweet little practice.
A very unique class. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
short and sweet.
Such an uplifting and energizing way to start the day!
Not very challenging for a power yoga class. Nice short little class.
I liked the concentration on stretching the back. Could have used a little bit more challenging poses though. Thanks
A good energizing class
This was a good class to help relax me at the start of the day.
Great quick flow class!
Some interesting play on breathwork
