Thank you Michelle, great video !

I just have a little question, though... I am a runner and run four days a week. When would you advise me to do this class? Just before/after my runs, or on the days I don't run?

Thank you very much for all the great videos ! (the mogul muncher is now part of my post-run routine, as it makes post-run minor knee pain disappear for me)

Hey Kaoya

This class works great before or after a run...
I personally find mogal muncher ( video ) as a pre run joint stabilizer followed by this video post run release to be the absolute best combo.

Even though I'm younger then 20, I've always had this annoying habit of stressing out and tensing up over the little stuff. Tests, work, family -- you name it. And after spending years looking for the right exercise that'll give me strength, tone, and flexibility while going my own comfortable speed I've finally found one that works!

Also -- I recommended this for my boyfriend who is unable to go to Physical Therapy after having knee surgery. I think it's perfect for him as well.

Thanks, I loved this. I normally love the more fast paced athletic classes too but I also run 6 or 7 days a week and so sometimes my ankles hurt too much for standing sequences. This is perfect as there are no standing poses. Its great after a run, when your focus is all over the place and balancing is more of a struggle. It works on the shoulders, hips, legs, feet and wrists - my upper back and neck feels a little better too. I would also suggest this to non sporty, first time yogis too and people who sit at desks. Thanks x

Great video, amazing teacher, great modifications... but not what I expected. I was hoping for a full body intense workout but it was more focused on stretches. 4/5, great video though!
