Rachel's guidance is effortless and clear, allowing you to focus more on what you are doing, rather than watching her. Enjoy!

Great video thanks! Needed a way to warm down from a rowing work out and this hit the spot.
So glad that you enjoyed :)
Thank you. Loved this afteer my power walk. Thank you. Namaste
This is a great way to start my day. I have ankylosing spondylitis which really creates pain and stiffness throughout the spine and other joints as well as hindering core strength, especially in the morning. This was a great, gentle way to wake up those areas that can be so pesky. Thank you!
I've been doing this every morning for a week and I love it!! The one thing that I love is that your voice is very clear! Do you have more videos? This is the prefect wake up in the morning before heading off to work :)
I love starting my morning with the Yummy 20! Thank you for this :)
I've appreciated this pleasant yoga lesson and I thank a lot Rachael to be so clear in explications
I'm not a english mother language but I could follow perfectly understanding almost everything
Really Thank You very - very much
This is my first video on this site so not sure if they all follow the same layout but I feel like for a beginner video it moves a little quick. It's a great video and when I rewind and pause it's good but I feel it should be more in the novice category because you pretty much need to know the poses and how to breathe before she tell you what to do. I felt like I was playing catch up the whole time and couldn't focus on my proper breathing and stretch. All in all I enjoyed it need to learn my poses and I think I will enjoy it even better I just feel like the beginner classes could be a little slower.
Hi there! First of all, welcome to the site, so wonderful to have you here!
And thank you - that is such great feedback!
You're right: this class moves more like a flow class, which means that poses get linked together fairly quickly. While it's nice to have a quick 20 minute practice, flow can definitely feel quick. There are so many wonderful teachers here; I'm sure with some experimentation that you'll find a class that moves at a pace that feels really good. Thank you for sharing!
i count on this class on the days when time is of the essence. thank you, Rachel!
So glad that you enjoy :) Thanks for practicing with us!!
This is such a great quickie, soothing, wake up. Thank you, Rachel
Beautiful! Perfect way to start the morning.
A very good reintroduction after being away from yoga for awhile. Good instruction, gentle poses, and just the right amount of time to get things started for the day.
Hi Nancy - welcome back :)
Thanks for a wonderful class. I could actually feel each movement and felt a wonderful connection with my body, like it was talking to me at each movement. I meditated at the end and was left with a feeling of renewed energy. :-)
Loving all of rachel's classes she has such a great variety!
Thank you so much, this class was wonderful - excatly what I needed today :)
Namaste <3
I'm sort of an advanced beginner and this class is perfect- really glad I took the time to check it out. Thanks Rachel!
Hi Judith, I'm so very glad that you are enjoying it! Thx for checking it out :)
Great video, thank you so much! This is the first time I'm giving yoga a try! One question: How many times should I do this per week/day?
Hi there! Good question :) As a general rule, I think it's great to do yoga three times a week to start. Give that a shot and see how it feels!
Some days you may try a longer practice, other days you may like a shorter practice. Eventually it's nice to do a little something every day, even if that's simply sitting on your mat and taking five deep breaths.
No need to go overboard - and try a variety of practice to move in lots of different ways. This site is wonderful because you have so many choices. Keep us posted on how it goes!
This might be for fit beginners. I couldn't keep up and didn't have the strength or flexibility for most of the poses. I will have to wait on this until I get stronger. I have found that a routine that has more than 2 full sun salutations is not a good for true beginners. Even doing two is difficult when you are inflexible and have no upper body strength.
I suffer from rhumetoid pain and have started doing yoga to help me loose weight and strengthen my body. I have been doing your videos for 2 weeks now and am feeling so great, and can feel myself getting stronger. It helps relieve some of the pain. Thank you so much! :-)
Thank you Rachel for this practice. I have yummy mornings everyday. Since I started doing this set, the pain on my lower back vanished,Yey! Namaste.
That is amazing to hear!! Sometimes just consistently getting the hips open can make such a difference. So happy you're enjoying :)
Thank you
This workout was great, I was able to do it in my office during a break and it made me feel really refreshed! Easy to follow!
That is PERFECT. So good to have an office break and have a good stretch. So glad that you enjoyed!
This was a marvelous start, this is my first yoga class, it was tough in a few spots but the invigorating feeling afterward was amazing. Thank you.
Wow!!! Welcome to yoga! I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed this practice. There are tons of wonderful instructors and videos on this site; enjoy exploring :)

So glad that you liked it!
Happy New Year :)

This is the perfect video for me!!!!! And the description rings true: I felt like your directions were so clear that I rarely needed to look at you to understand what to do. Thank you!!!!
