Sarah says a lot of wonderful inspiring things in this class. It is full of asanas that are usually awkward for me, like downward dog twist, crow, and wheel. It has hero, which is strangely easier for me than "easy seat". I'll hold on to this one for a day when I'm very present and looking to get out of my comfort zone.

Really good class perfect with some lovely challenges. Love the way Sarah says things like if you can do a lotus at the end of the class it's like a little gift. It was!

Not only are the poses "calmly invigorating" as another reviewer perfectly described this class, but Sarah in her quiet, humble, yet wise way gives us so much food for thought. A wonderful example was her instruction to be present now and not anticipate the next move. This was a brand new and enlightening way for me to think about the concept of being present. So valuable!

I was very aware during class of how hard my core, arms and legs were working. I kept reminding myself of Sarah's quote "shaking is a good thing". Really feel that sense of accomplishment afterward that you did something good for mind and body.

Long mindful holding of poses with lots of cues for alignment. Ending with backbends to energize.
