Upper Body and Arm Balance

Challenging, but I think that I have now understood the path to crow pose and to really finding power with arm balances. So wonderful!

enjoyed this class - details helpful - thank you!

Another new instructor for me…great class!

I really appreciated the midline work to strengthen and balance. Also, thanks for a delicious shivasana…no talking, a length of time.

fantastic class for arms, and back, the whole body. I also appreciated the hip stretch at the end. I loved it. I am so glad I subscribed to this website again.

Fun class, thank you 🙏🏻

Great class!

This was awesome class, Jonni. Many thanks for the clarity and the strength development, but also for the softness.

Really appreciate this class! Thank you soooo much!

Hugging the midline from head to toe!

Love this class, thanks Jonni-Lyn

Lovely class and instruction. I felt strong and centered. I'll carry these tidbits with me into my future practice. Thank you!

Great class but the video kept stopping and I would have to restart and find my place.

Great instructions! it is beautiful to practice with a coach. Listening and applying said instructions makes for beautiful, confident yoga. Thank you, namaste and I will be back.

This was wonderful. Jonni-Lyn's energy and specificity was so appreciated and helpful. Thank you.

Really great cues to learn how to engage and strengthen the arms and legs. Planning on coming back to this one so it becomes muscle memory.

My first class with Joni-lyn. Great lesson! My arm and upper body are weak. This lesson helps me. Will do again and again

Great class. My first with Jonni-Lyn, but I'll be back!

Excellent instruction - this was my first class with Jonni-Lyn and I'm so glad to have had this opportunity

This class is wonderful. Jonni-lyn gives clear step by step instruction in how to develop stability.

I love this class. Thank you

I loved this class. I walked away with a much better understanding of arm stability. I loved the core work and how Jonni kept it light and fun when it was getting tough.

I wish I'd had these fantastic foundational courses when I first started practicing yoga! Jonni-Lynn gives clear and encouraging instruction on the basics. I would've liked 1 more try at crow pose and longer time in pigeon pose. Great challenge to power into 2022, thank you.

Thank you for an amazing practice! Finally the mid-line makes sense. Feeling strong and light and calmer than when I started.

Thank you!

Very helpful to revisit foundations here, thank you!

Great practice Jonni-Lyn! I'm really struggeling with upper body strength, the right technique is so important, thanks for reminding me!

great practice - wouldn't have done it w/o Jonni-Lyn, lol.

Always such a gift to sit and move with you. Thank you.

Great class, thank you Jonni-Lyn. Couple of 'aha' moments

Drawing thumbs together—a new and enlightening cue for arm strength. Thank-you. A great class, JLF

Great cues that allowed me to really feel those areas engage!

JLF's classes are amazing - and this one didn't disappoint - joyous as ever!

Awesome class -I really felt like my practice was progressing. Thanks

My first class with JLF. I loved the class and am glad to have discovered her clear guidance, helpful hints, and joyful approach. Thank you!

Five stars because: awesome. Thank you

Lovely! Thank you! Really interesting cues! Having had issues with my wrists I really appreciate all the attention to the joints :)

Thank you Jon-Lyn! This was perfect for this morning. Will return to do it again.

The sequence of a pilates class right before this one worked really well for me. The pilates brought attention to the core, and Jonni-Lyn cued us to strengthen this region as part of the arm balance prep. I admit I wasn't looking forward to this class but enjoyed it immensely. Thank you!

Love love love this class. I needed to feel stronger and lighter today, and I really do. This is one that I will come back to regularly; and also carry forward in my practice. Thank you JLF & DYWM

Great practice with clear guidance. I'll definitely look for more of your classes. Thank you.

Jonni-Lyn has some good tips and tricks! Nice, long savasana on this practice too :)

I liked all the ways you warmed us up leading into Crow. But once we actually got to Crow I could've used a few more cues and a few more tries. I've never been able to accomplish Crow, still not able. How does it all fit together? Hands, arms, elbows, knees and where is my gaze? Maybe this is one that needs a teacher in a room vs. online. I'll keep trying! Thanks Jonni

Thank you for this, wonderful to feel my arm muscles strengthen up after a break from arm balances.

Nice class, thank you... but I cannot get lifted in crow! Have ended in an awkward somersault, but joyfully! Oh well, I will try again another time.

I loved all the cues for your hands. I was worried my wrists would be sore, but I felt so much stronger during this class! Thank you!

Another tasty and delicious Jonni-Lyn joint. This morning I wrote down "Today I would like to feel strong and long." This practice got me there and then some. Thank you!

I was somewhat reluctant to practice upper body after spending a long day bending over a work table with stiff hands and fingers.... this felt amazing. I especially liked the breakdown of hand form. My wrists often hurt during practice, and this really helped.

First time I've taken JL's class but I learned so much, especially about hand placement. Excellent class with helpful cues!

I benefit from Jonni-Lyn's classes but I personally feel that the vinyasas are often rushed through.
