This class is a more challenging beginner yoga flow that invites you to cultivate self compassion. Coming from a “no pain no gain” culture, many of us benefit from being reminded that practising yoga in a way that helps us honor the experience pleasure in the body can be a more effective way to calm the nervous system, while still building strength and alignment. This class can also help you appreciate the experience of pleasure in your daily life.

I absolutely loved this class! It will be in my regular rotation after I finish the challenge. I really need to work on finding the pleasure in yoga rather than beating myself up for not being able to do the perfect pose. Thanks for this wonderful class!
