I've had (given myself) little time to practise yoga lately so this was a great class to get going again. It's good from time to time to really go back to basics to check how the posture/alignment is going and see that even the basic sequences can be quite challenging. Thank you for this one. :)

Loved this class as it build up and makes you sweat. I cannot jump backward yet but can jump forward. Great way to start the day with energy! Thank you Sarah!

I was a little thrown by the "first time" label, but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a go. And good thing I did. I've already done this sequence twice this week, and as others have mentioned, I believe I'm going to buy this one. The reason for that is because even after ten years of doing yoga, it's important to be reminded of the mere basics. Sarah Kline is such a good teacher, and I love how she constantly brings us back to our breathing. I feel like I've been brought back to myself after this sequence. Thank you so much for a great session!

Many of us who have been doing Yoga for awhile may take Sun Salutations for granted, simply as a way to warm up for Asanas. What a pleasure to break down each movement and in turn speed up the flow as a meditation. Also clarified to me the variation with hooked thumbs, which I have been curious about since a group session when a Yogini insisted that the hooked thumbs are the "right" way to practice a sun salutation. As always I appreciate Yoga Today's embrace of the many forms of Yoga. Namaste!

The first part of the practice is nice and I like the way Sarah talks you through the poses but once she gets into Sun Salutations B she moves too quickly which makes it nearly impossible for me to keep up. This makes the practice frustrating. I am not a beginner, I've been practicing for 10 years, but this does not mean I am able to move through poses so rapidly. This class is not really for beginners.

As usual, Sarah Kline does an excellent job breaking down poses and guiding breath (inhale/exhale). It is a very challenging sequence (fast) and should not be labeled "first time." But I still think it is worth an attempt for someone who has been practicing yoga for 6 months or so (maybe?). This is one I've purchased and downloaded in order to be able to continue practicing it.

Wow, I LOVED this one. By far my favourite yet on YogaToday. Thanks Sarah!

While this does have a lot of First Timers concepts the energy of this class is more on the level of Novice or even Yogi as this class is all sun salutations. I enjoyed learning each step of 3 different sun salutations.

As a beginner, I found the explanations of technique very useful, especially the breathing, but as someone in her 50's and a bit out of shape, after a half hour I was pretty tired. Realizing that with perseverence strength will come! That being said, I would love to see more 'true' beginner videos, especially for us older gals!

I haven't practiced in a few weeks, making this class very challenging for me. By the time we got to Surya 2, I had to take a break in child's pose and then do the sequence slowly, at my own pace. As a result, I did less of each surya but still built up a lot of heat and felt very loose and invigorated by the end of the class.This is definitely a class I'll revisit a great deal as I LOVE sun salutations!

Urdhva is correctly pronounced OORD VA, for Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward Facing Dog pose). Adho - not Ardha - for Downward Facing Dog. Otherwise, a great class, Sarah. Thanks. Janna Sage Peterson, RYT 500

I really enjoyed this class - it was really fun but I do agree with the others and think it was a bit challenging at times (maybe not really for first timers). It suited my level and I liked getting a nice sweat going! Thank you, Sarah

IExcellent class! Cut not for beginners. I suppose that it is after a few months or years of be expertise in something else because I’m a really beginner and I went lost after some future discovery better practice promised for Ms. Kline. Usually instructor forgot their beginner’s times. If it is for beginners the instructor used expertise students?

For some reason I can't get this video to stop buffering which is really disrupting to my yoga. I watched it yesterday without any problems on the same computer? Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is happening? And any suggestions on how to get it to stop buffering? I would like to join as a member but if this is what happens with all the videos I wont be willing to commit. Help! Thanks, Danarae

I really enjoyed this class and I would classify myself as a beginner to yoga. Like me, I believe that there are beginners who enjoy getting everything described in detail (first half of the class), but who also enjoy being pushed a bit (second half). I don't expect to be able to get everything right the first time, if I do, the class is probably too boring for my taste. Therefore, I thought this class was great. Thanks!

Sarah says in the beginning that this class is a beginner/intermediate level. This is a lesson, and it is sweet for all levels. It is also challenging for all as you have to memorize the sequence and keep up with Sarah. If you are a beginner do not get frustrated, just keep practicing. This is the great class to perfect. You will get the flow. Chaturanga Dandasana (low plank) is a tough nut to crack, but it is challenging for most, and the class suggests an easier version of it. Peace.

I haven't practiced regularly in quite a while, so it was very hard for me to follow along once we got to the quick warriors. I enjoyed the invigorating class, and encourage it's use for those who just need to brush up on their basics. As others have said, it is definitely beginner-intermediate and I was approaching as a practically new beginner.

This was an excellent work out for toning all parts of the body but I do agree with the above comments about it not being a beginners class. I think Sarah actually does mention that its a beginners to intermediate.

Not really a beginner's class. I can do this because I've been doing yoga for a while, but my friend who's new to yoga got lost in the quick sun salutations, trying to keep to her breath while the instructions just kept flying by. It was good, however, as a review of the sun salutes, and it was good exercise.
