That was the most relaxing savasana I have achieved in a long time. I should have set up for yoga nidra in my bed so I could have just dozed off!!

A slow and gentle practice, excellent when you're feeling sick, tense, tired or upset. A steady pace and long holds in each asana.

I don't have insomnia, so I am no judge, but this didn't do a lot for me. I like the inversions though--it's a good series for a lady on her menses because you can invert the upper body a lot without inverting the lower body (except in 1 pose, which I skipped). I don't actually even understand why that guideline exists...anyway. This one is definitely relaxing, but not much of a workout.

Very soothing class :). I am over 3 months pregnant and have had a lot of trouble getting comfortable to sleep (changed from stomach sleeping to side sleeping due to pregnancy). This practice really helped my body relax enough to sleep for a change. I substituted the back poses for child's pose and standing backbends. This practice will definitely go into my regular rotation. Thank you, Sarah. Namaste :)

super calming practice.

I skip the shoulder stand though.

I've done this class three time so far and each time I've ended the class wonderfully relaxed and prepared for a great sleep. Thanks Sarah! Would love to see another class in the future for those of us who have a difficult time getting a good nights rest.

Just a great way to relax after a tough day or before bed. Definitely not a flow, more a series of relaxing poses. Not a workout, but I'll do that tomorrow. :)

So relaxing and gentle...until the shoulder stands, which seemed a bit out of place. But the Nidra at the end balanced it all out. I will definitely do this class again.

Great class for insomniacs and stressed people who need to take it down a notch. Detailed work with pranayama, mantra, and a nice yoga nidra for about 10 minutes at the end. My only criticism - sometimes I just wanted quiet and found there to be too much talk. But, overall - great class!

I have been sick the past few days, this was a great practice to do when you've been not feeling well. It helped me breathe better and relax.

I love love loved this class. So peaceful and soothing....

Thank you for this lovely, slow, soothing practice. Not just for insomnia, it is a nice release from the day's stresses. The mantra and corresponding hand motion was great.
