There's not a Rachel class I don't love ! Another great class but certainly not beginner.

Hi,

This is Kelly from DoYogaWithMe. You certainly don't seem to be alone in thinking this should be intermediate...so we changed it!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Rachel is one of my favorite instructors and I have had lots of Aha! moments with her cures and also have felt very peaceful/settled after some classes. This was technically very helpful, with good tips on how to strengthen arms, establish wrist connections and get "lift" in poses. Even though I learned a lot, it lacked the magic of some Rachel classes. Seemed intermediate to me.

This is not a beginner class. I consider myself advanced beginner / easy intermediate and i could not finish this class. Maybe a new sub category should be considered. How about advanced beginner or starting intermediate. I wish i could finish this(: Someday.

I must say I totally agree. This was difficult and I totally couldn’t even begin to do the last arm pose. I struggle to find classes which are not too easy beginner classes and ones which are intermediate which
I can finish. Oh were there a category in between! That said I did learn a lot from what I was able to do.

Highly recommend this practice; really makes you work at being mindful about each part of your body as you move through poses. Very helpful and makes me really think about where my feet are in relation to my hips etc.
