A shoulder injury yesterday, forced me to look for a gentle practice today. This class was perfect...focus on alignment and breath, and the full body...and the slower pace, and flow allowed me to really pay attention to the signals of my body (when to modify for my injury - or when to push myself deeper). I will definitely do this class again.

Sarah, you know the intermediate/advance Yogi mind so well; great reminder to stop, simplify and refine rather than always taking it to the next level. The stretch sequence that wraps up this class is one of the best that Yoga Today offers.

I don't know if it is Sara or Kripalu style but this class felt playful. There wasn't that regimented feeling that some styles make me feel. Instead it almost felt made up as if we were doing whatever Sara felt like without reason. I guess what I am saying is the only discipline was breathing which was very refreshing.

Allowing me to take the time to rediscover and refine my postures. Sarah offers many variations. Ending with alternate nostril breathing. Relaxing.

This was a great class not only for beginners, but for anyone looking to refine their alignment and sink deep into the poses. Not very fast paced but still some challenges, such as reverse triangle and some interesting variations of triangle. Good for an evening practice, I'm feeling super relaxed right now.

this novice class was just about perfect for me considering my ankle fusion operation 4 months ago, with a few modifications i could just about do it all. thanks sarah....

I enjoy any class with Sarah, but this one is probably a bit advanced for a real beginner since it presumes some knowledge of basic poses. There is a lot of opportunity to follow the instructions for the more advanced poses.

Sarah designed this class specifically for beginners, and it is great for that level; however, as she said during the class, slowing down in the poses and using the micromovements made this class awesome for non beginners too. A few of these poses don't show up much in other classes and provide great enlivening energy. I loved it!

Nice, relatively gentle practice. Generated some internal heat, but not enough to make me break a sweat in a relatively warm room. Good beginner practice, as Sarah gives a lot of detailed instructions and descriptions of poses.
