I'm more of an intermediate/advanced yogi, and would have passed this video up normally, but my entire back and shoulders were extremely tight after air travel and being in a car all day after that. I loved this video and it was just what I needed to not feel like a hunchback! I substituted a rolled towel since I didn't have a strap with me. Thanks, I feel awesome again! namaste!

As a total yoga beginner this is EXACTLY what I've been hoping/looking for. I have constant tension migraines and headaches and this just stretched out all the places I carry that tension. I'm so thrilled and excited to continue doing this class.
