Developing a Strong, Steady Breath, and Quiet Mind

Feel sooo good!

I didn't even realize I was doing a guru level class. I usually stick to yogi level. This class is a great challenge without being discouraging, and Sarah takes the time to fully explain modifications for most poses. The stretches flow nicely into a wonderful guided savasana at the end.

I definitely had to keep reminding myself to relax despite my effort and not anticipate what was upcoming. It worked and I made it through doing each pose to the best of my ability. And of course when it was complete I felt that yogic calm.

some nice poses which are not commonly practiced!

I love this class! Really energetic and fun!!

Thank you Sarah! That was a fabulous vinyasa. It was so well designed and really gets you into your breath and keeps you there throughout.

steady flow, good modifications.

The imagery and pace of this class illustrates the power of inner peace and how strong and elongated the asanas can become when we maintain the composure of the breath. I will think of the smooth surface of a pond on the mat and off - and I will repeat this class as needed.

slow and easy poses with lots of calm breath.

Don't be turned off by the "guru" level, since this is more of a "yogi" level class; accessible to all due to modifications. The binds and more advanced balancing postures make this "guru". Shorter class with a full guided shavasana.

I loved this class and felt great at the end. I was so scattered going into it, my mind every which way, and the focus on the breath and continual movement were great. Also, holding the resting poses for several breaths helped me get deeper into the class and stop the swirling thoughts. Thanks Sarah!!

The flow, modifications, and Sarah's spot-on teaching were so appreciated today (as always). I have to agree, however, that the wide angle (the gorgeous view notwithstanding) made checking positioning challenging sometimes.

Many chances to work on your arms in this one. Sarah offers option to double dip your chaturangas.

Wow, this was a great workout! Didn't realize it was a Guru class and I'm very happy I could complete it. I am usually intimidated by the Guru classes but this was a great surprise. Thank you !

Sarah is a fantastic teacher, and I feel amazing after this class.

I really enjoyed this class. The flow was wonderful and continuous and the poses were just challenging enough to push me to focus deeply, but not so challenging that I found my mind wandering. Just the right amount of instruction--not so much that the flow is interrupted, but enough to really focus my movements. Afterward, I'm feeling warmed and peaceful.

...not the best quality. I also had trouble with the sound 40 minutes into it. For some reason, I just could not get into this class...probably because I almost exclusively do Adi's classes, so I am very used to her style. Nevertheless, Sarah did a great job instructing and gave plenty of options for modifying the poses. I also enjoyed the full savasana at the end.

Like other reviewers have said, this class was challenging while still centering and calming. I am (unfortunately) a bit out of practice because of life getting chaotic, but this class was still not too over the top. Poses are focused on the whole body, which I was in need of. Thank you Sarah! namaste.

I challenged myself to complete this guru class and did it with Sarah's gentle encouragement. Thank you.

Thanks Sara, beautiful location too!

This class was a great workout. Challenging, but not overwhelming. I like that there were so many modifications. If you are advanced you can go deeper and if not, you can still push yourself while staying within your limits. Good class!

A perfect balance class using the breath to calm the mind and work the body. I loved the guided relaxation at the end, I will return to this again.

Love those double dips, though I could not do them today....maybe tomorrow will be a double dip day :) Thanks, Sarah...lovely.

Really good class each with options for you to take it that little bit deeper to something more advanced. I concur with another review on the camera angles, the view is fantastic but on a few occasions I looked up for guidance and due to the wide angle I had to pause rewind and sit close to screen to run over some bits again to see what was going on. A very much liked the guided svasana which for me is the hardes pose fo all to stay in....

I really enjoyed this class, because it had a perfect combination of strength building, balancing, and twisting postures.

I"m on day 11 of a 40 day consecutive practice goal. This calming but energizing practice is exactly what I needed this morning. Thanks Sarah.

Stunning view. A really good full body yoga routine, which helps calm the mind. Alternative poses are also demonstrated. Detailed instructions by Sarah. Thank you for a great workout. Namaste.

Dinamic class that gives a calming effect to the mind. I really love these kind of classes. Challenging but no difficult poses, including lots of modifications.

Too many wide angle shots, which does not help if you need to check your alignment at some point. Otherwise, it's a Sarah class - great as always.

As usual Sarah is an amazing teacher. Great workout with a lot of vinyasa at the start with double dips!! It then moves on to some seated bends and twists. I felt this one all over, thanks!!
