A Wintertime Warm-up

What a cool pose at the end boat into headstand! Loved it!

This class creates heat as promised with vinyassa, use of your major leg muscles, rapid breath and headstands. Nothing so crazy hard that it is not doable (one yogini beautifully demonstrates modifications all the way through). A full body stretch and tone.

Perfect for this time of the year. It is about 0 C here, but with this class I feel nice and warm. Great class! Thank you Sarah, you are wonderful!

I found the quick breathing gave me a headache and made me dizzy, although I was really enjoying the session I ended up having to stop cause I just felt tense with the headache. Anyone else experience this? Am I doing it wrong or is this normal for the first time of this method?

Will be doing this one again! Nearly there with shoulder stand and this was a great class to do for me as it works up to that and more! Thankyou!

Definite heat builder, terrific energizing and warming practice.

Definitely needed to be warmed up (-15 outside) and this class did the trick. Opportunity for lots of headstands in this :)

I was amazed at how kapalabhati really help with allowing you to not only hold the pose longer but go deeper into it! I felt great! thanks Sarah for another amazing class :)

Great invigorating class, thank you Sarah.

Simply wonderful!

I'm a huge fan of kapala bhati breath, I typically do a round of this breath each morning to wake up. That being said, I love how Sarah integrated it in to her vinyasas by holding postures while using this breath of fire. It enlivened my practice and couldn't believe we had gotten to the end when we were winding down. I'd have to say this is one of my favorites to date...Great job, Sarah - you inspire me!

Really warming! Very clearly led, at a steady pace. Lots of focused pranayama, plenty of leg and core work and some opportunities for inversions. A fairly sturdy workout that concentrates on holding poses a little longer.

This class will definitely get the heat up. It is some Jivamiktu vinyasa followed by a series of standard standing poses (Warrior I & II, Triangle, Side-Angle, etc) and a brief core series at the end with breath of fire and shining skull throughout. I am usually a Kundalini practitioner but am very satisfied with this class. I didn't get antsy in the standing poses. There is a headstand-navasana flow at the end which was unusual but i really enjoyed it. Lots of core and legs. Definitely a workout. Great for the AM!

Among others, I liked the side leg lifts and Sarah's use of the word "toasty" to express the building of the heat in the yoga studio :).
