Sacred Expansion

Ron uses beautiful imagery - and a colorful ball - to guide you through this wonderfully challenging flow that focuses on expansion. His teaching style is like no other, full of fantastic analogies and a flow that often feels more like dance than yoga.

This is a good flow. I like the movement. As others stated, I got off a bit due to some missing or late cues. There are times when you almost need to watch in order to not miss transitions. With other classes on the site, the verbal instructions are sufficient, which is important since you may be in a posture where you can’t look at your device. I had a hard time connecting to the ball metaphor. As a male, I like watching Ron. It provides a context for me. While I may not be able to achieve his level of flexibility, the quality of his movement is inspiring and reassures me that with time I can accomplish quality movement.
this is fantastic feel like i have got anew body
There is a jump in video where we are at the back of the mat and Ron (the teacher) continues moving us with a break in video so we are moving off mat and he is all of a sudden (video break/edit issue) at front.
There are a few transitions that he does not give equally to both sides, and that are somewhat dangerous on the back - so be cautious and centered, take some time as needed. Defintely need to be very experienced so you know immediately how to keep strong through this class with fast transitions that can be very straining.
I have done yoga for about 16 years and mostly can follow along all the DoYogaWithMe videos by just explanations without looking at the screen however in this one I find it impossible. The teacher talks about this wonderful ball of energy moving in the body but with no idea where he's actually going till way past my breath cycle, and very often not at all without moving out of position to look at the screen.
I highly suggest trying to follow a full breath behind but that is difficult to do.
Just a note- the breathy microphone makes it very difficult to know where to be in the breath cycle for those postures that are not explained, eventually I was able to get past it but it is an added difficulty.
Nice things about this video though -it's a lovely flow and the energy of the ball moving through the body helped me align and move deeper in lovely ways. I'd really like another teacher to do this flow. Some of Ken's other classes are easier to follow though. As a note to him, it'd be good to know where we are going First, then talk about the ball of energy getting us there.
