Crista takes you through a vinyasa flow that covers the body in a thorough way, including deep hip openers and releases for the hip flexors, hamstrings, spine, back and shoulders. The sequencing is creative and fun, while many of the poses are very challenging, including variations on side plank, warrior 2, prasarita padotonasana and, of course, vishvamichrasana (visvamitra's pose).

A beautiful, fun and create flow! It is wonderful to use the posterior of the mat, the sides and the front in equal measure. I love your smile Crista and the enthusiastic remainders to find the ease in the postures and not just the effort and form. This class is a gem.

1) I think I fell asleep during shavasana- this is is testament to the fantastic pacing and hidden intensity of this flow.
2) Crista this is so well done!!!
3) Peak pose is so close but so far, in a way that makes me excited to do this again
4) What would be a good shorter length class to help me develop the flexibility for this peak pose?

Oooh DYWM with these new classes you are really spoiling us! It's not often that I feel like a full advanced class the same day as a very long marathon training run, but the words 'deep hip openers' and 'deep thigh stretches' were enough to entice me into giving this one a go. Oh it was wonderful - opened my shoulders and lower back as well as those lovely hip openers. I didn't quite make the peak pose, but nearly there! I'll be coming back to this one a lot. Thank you Crista!

I worked so hard during this amazing practice. The sequencing was unique and so perfect, leading up to the peak pose. I am left feeling that, with practice, this pose will be doable in the near future. Your beautiful personality shines through the entire flow. I just loved your singing mantra closing. Thank you Christa.
