Thanks so much for this tutorial!
I am just a beginner, and I really don't know so much. I hope these videos will help me to be flexible, and on the whole to learn yoga. Thanks!

thank you for the video!
Maybe this is what is going to help me fell less sleepy in the morning.
Is there a short version? Like 10 minutes set of exercises?

The instructions were very clear and I didn't have to watch what was happening as I often do with other yoga videos. I wish the equipment list had been more clear about needing more than just a strap. The image I first saw for the video shows the instructor sitting in a chair and I assumed the entire practice was a seated/chair practice. So I had a strap but no yoga mat. Not a crisis as I am not averse to lying on my floor and nothing done on the floor required the stickiness a mat provides. It would have been nice to know it would be needed, however.

Nonetheless, my shoulders and chest feel wonderfully open and I have no doubt that I will be seeking out other practices taught by this teacher going forward. And, just to be on the safe side, I'll have my mat rolled out and ready even if he is standing or sitting.

I'm really happy to hear that. This class is particularly designed to do that, so it's nice to hear that it's working!
