Comment:

I appreciated the clear, specific instructions for finger clawing and arm rotating to power up the shoulder. Shoulder strength and stability have always been a struggle in side plank pose. The wrist relief was so helpful, too, as well as the acknowledgement of the difficulty of the poses. Andrea is very real and down-to-earth; she is a new instructor for me. The countdowns were a bit distracting, though I understand the intention to let us know how much longer we are in a particular pose. I will do this class again and keep trying the variations of side plank!
