some interesting moves in this one, no floor work and alot mixed in. Pace wise its slower but longer holds so intense in a different way. I'm going to put it in my queue as i like its deviation from the normal fomat and gain more i feel when greeting with the expetected!

As another reviewer said - it starts with 2 great kriya's and then the rest of the class feels like it drags on in repetition. I also didn't really feel the focus on the flexible spine. Not enough kundalini in this class!

Thanks for this one of the firts classes from sarah. Nice viniasa, good for more stoic persons, then the class loosens the spine fine and a mental unflexible person. Phyically my spine is singing and humming, feels like light flushes up and down. Somewone it comes a free smile in my face and the mind was very still. Had taken a savasana after the end wich was gently deep. Thanks Sarah for your wonderful, but highest professional classes!

I liked the warm-ups in the beginning (heaven & earth + side reach), but the asanas afterwards dragged on. Also, there's not much in the way of kundalini in this one. It feels like an older class though, so maybe Sarah was still perfecting her inimitable style.

A sprinkling of kriyas, the main focus is moving the spine through its various ranges of motion. Original sun type salutes incorporating additional focus on the spine. I enjoyed all of this and it certainly fulfills its objective. A good blend of firey spinal bends followed by child pose to cool the system so overall not a sweaty type of class but rewarding in how your back feels aferwards. Thanks Sarah another v good class.

Definitely more a beginner-novice class; plenty of flow and motion but not so many kriyas. Afterwards, I felt nice and loose in the spine and hips, but not too tired. Gently-paced and fairly smooth.

The Breath of Fire is not the same as Bastrika, which is a light fast rhythmic breath, usually taught as one of the pranayamas in hatha yoga. Nor is the Breath of Fire like Kabalabati, which is a forceful breath, where you contract the abdomen and rib cage (pulling on the root lock with each contacting breath), where the simple relaxing of the rib cage brings the air back into the lungs, without inhaling, and you force the air out again (also in a rhythmic manner). While Kapalabati is very powerful and beneficial, and while it is used in many KY Kriyas, it is not the same as Breath of Fire.To do it: Begin to breathe rapidly through the nose with equal emphasis on the inhalation and exhalation. It will be like very fast sniffing. Keep the breath shallow, just at the tip of the nose. Pumping the stomach as you breathe.

You can't just throw some asanas together and call it a kriya. There is a perfect science to kundalini yoga. The sequences are perfect as written by Yogi Bhajan. Also, I wish Sarah wouldn't confuse Kapalabhati breath with breath of fire. They are totally different and it is a disservice to students to constantly confuse them. As a hatha yoga class, this was nice for the spine.

Diffrent than I usually do but I really enjoyed it!!!!!!

Seemed a bit disorganized. I enjoyed the vinyasa sequences, though, and my hips do feel more comfortable.

This class was fun & energetic, but also with a lot of child's poses & great instruction on what the poses are doing. Thank you so much Sarah for all your great classes & broad knowledge! My back is feeling a million times better

i definitely have lots of energy after this class, though i did miss pranayama at the beginning and corpse pose at the end. my arms are going to be sore from all those push-ups!

I have been working very hard to keep my back flexible as I age and try to deal with arthritis, scoliosis and whatever disc of the day is blown out! My doctors perfer I do yoga vs PT because I am more motivated. Keep them coming my friend Sarah!

this is a great class for those who have tight backs or sore backs and need to renew flexibility to the spine. Great class for those of us who sit at a desk all day. Namaste Sarah!

Lots of chaturanga and rolling cobra in this one with a mix of hip openers and side plank to round it out.

I needed this for my spine! I feel a lot of tension in my spine and miss flexibiliy I have in other parts of the body. After this class my spine is dancing! thank you Sarah

I found this class challenging and satistfying once I decided to take full chaturangas and push hard rather than relaxing into the child's poses. It all in the intention, as usual. My practice shifted entirely after I put energy into it. Shanti!

This class was a nice release of tension after a dancer/student's long day. It created warmth and clarity.

Very spine engaging. Great class. My back feels wonderful.

I think this class would be better labeled novice. It did not quite go me deep enough for me.

One of the classes I want to do again! Thanks

I loved the mixture of kriyas and asanas. Even though the pace was slow I was working plenty hard. Twists, Backbends, Hip Openers, Strengthening, Balancing, Sarah fit it all in.

This class really focused on spinal flexion and is moderate paced. There are some strengthening exercises as well as some great breathing exercises as the beginning. A nice flow as well. You can tell this is one of the older classes - it's kind of fun to see how things have changed!
