I've been taking it easy for a couple days with some knee pain, but was craving some movement and yoga. This class was perfect. The pace was methodical, slow, and relaxing - allowing your body to open without tension. I'm not sure why this class has negative reviews - Sarah, as always, is full of insight, knowledge, and gentle instruction. A great evening practice Thank you, Sarah!

Thank you for this great class Sarah! I am returning to my Yoga after a long period of not moving at all or sudden runs which made my body very sore and and I am in pain of my lower back on the left side... This class helped me unblock and start "putting lotion" on the "scared tissues". I will keep moving gently and hearing my body! GRACIAS from Mendoza, Argentina!

Another Sarah Kline class with an amazingly disproportionate yoga to talking ratio. This would be a great practice if she would just chill a bit on the over explanation. While some topics she discusses are interesting, going into so much detail is unnecessary for the practice.

Sarah takes time to look at the parts of the body that we often forget about - really feel open now. Thank you.

The frustratingly slow pace seemed to make my tight spots worse. Probably my least favorite Yoga Today class.

I loved this class. Thank you so much!

Was so pleased to have tried this class - especially as I have some sort of ankle injury at the mo. It was perfect. Will definitely do it again. Thanks Sarah.

After I sprained my ankle a couple of months ago, I still have a bit of pain left. I found that I couldn't do some of the poses that required sitting on my ankle (too much pain), but everything else seemed to relieve the overall stress of the day.

I loved this class. It provides a great stretch for the neck and shoulders. It also focuses a lot on the feet, which I think everyone needs to pay more attention to. Sarah takes you through a big range of poses, none which are *too* difficult. The majority of the class is seated, with a few downward dogs. The pace of the class is slow but I liked that because it made the whole practice somewhat meditative. I think this is a good class if you're feeling sluggish or if you've had a busy, stressful day at work!

This is a super practice for first thing in the morning, to undo yesterday's damage and open the way to an enthusiastic day to come! Thanks Sarah!

Thank you. I always enjoy the classes; however, didn't realize how much I've been neglecting my feet and hands until this morning!

Thank you Sarah, this is exactly what I need after playing tennis two days ago and injuring my calf.

Very nice restorative practice that focuses on breaking down scar tissue in the feet, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. Definitely not a workout, but it does build a tad bit of heat.

Mostly seated poses

Perfect for when I was not 100% and needed a slower one

Good message, good practice

My body is all sorts of messed up--my knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists--and this class was amazingly helpful! Thank you Sarah! Evening would be a great time to do this one. It is pretty low key activity-wise, so it won't get me wound up before bed. So glad I finally tried this class. It's going to be a regular for me from now on!

A very nice class for those of us who suffer from joint injuries. Feet, ankles, wrists, and shoulders feel great. I would have liked some shoulder rotation additions as my shoulders really crack and pop and that scar tissue really needs to be broken up.

I find myself coming to this class after a challenging hike, or just challenging day. The stretches get into all the muscles. The work for the neck/shoulders is great for anyone who has been sitting in front of a computer for too long!

Great physical therapy, and felt custom designed for me with my damaged left ankle and damaged right shoulder. I already do the alphabet with my feet every day, so it was very affirming to hear again about that little fun exercise's effectiveness. Thank you!

I liked this one although my attention certainly wandered with the slower pace.I do think the title or description should mention it's mainly focused on ankles/feet (with some wrist & shoulder work at the end).

not a workout... I didn't break a sweat.. but it was relaxing and helpful in refining your poses. Lots of emphasis on opening the feet and wrists.

what a relief i feel after this class!! i have been needing this for a while- i wait tables every day, and carrying heavy trays can really do a number on all the joints. i will most definitely have to return to this class on a regular basis. thanks sarah! =)

Thank you, Sarah,for such a great class. This was a wonderful practice to do before bed after spending time on the computer writiing a paper. My shoulders and arms feel so much better, in fact, my entire body feels rejuvenated. It was just what I needed!

I tore my achilles tendon about two years ago, and can really feel this one breaking up the scar tissue that is still there. It feels amazing!

This is a joint class that gives the opportunity to focus solely on the mobility of the joints. The mobility that is necessary to bind poses, sit in lotus, etc.. Soooo good.

Also very good for loosening up the knees even though this isn't a stated objective! Great class for something quite focussed and different.

Sarah's discussions regarding scar tissue and lessening its effects were very helpful and reminded me of physical therapy massages that didn't always feel very good but did help to loosen existing scar tissue. There are many poses given in this class that I will incorporate into my daily life (like writing the alphabet with my feet and interlacing my toes - fun!) to loosen scar tissue and provide strength and flexibility to formerly injured areas. The time flew by because of the concentration required to challenge these spots which have comfortably settled into decreased range of motion.

I chose this class to help some lower back pain from a previous injury that has been hurting during mid-pregnancy. It was very helpful. All of the foot stretches actually stretched the back and legs too, and it was appropriate for my stage of pregnancy (as discussed with my midwife). Very gentle, more for a relaxing day than a real workout day.
