A Well-Rounded Challenging Beginner Flow
This challenging, beginner yoga class is a wonderfully-balanced hatha flow that stretches and strengthens the whole body, through standing poses, seated stretches, reclining postures and core work. Rachel helps you understand alignment and core activation, emphasizing the proper way to do the poses to obtain the most benefit and to feel rejuvenated and relaxed as you take on your day or prepare to wind down into your evening.

I've been doing this class repeatedly for about a month now, once per week, and it's so nice the progression I see in my leg strength!! If anyone is frustrated doing this one because of weak legs...keep at it! It only gets better and you'll just get stronger legs :)
Good practice. I appreciated the alignment cues and the length of the practice. In future lessons, please consider spending more time in less-intense variations of stretches. When I look at what you're doing, it's usually to check my alignment on the easiest version of a stretch. It's not helpful to see your body contorted into a shape that I can't come close to achieving. Perhaps you could do a stiff version on one side and a flexy version on the other side.
I thought I had strong legs, but I admit I did feel lots of quivering in my thighs. Such a good strength builder if this one. Thanks Rachel.
This class was exactly what I needed today. Thank you!
