I really wish this class included more of a warm-up (a few flows?). I ve only downloaded a few classes so far but none of them include enough of a warm up for me. You re doing your first downward dog in the first few minutes of the class. I just really appreciate building heat before moving into back bends as well (not the case in the 45-minute class).
It s a challenging class (I am intermediate) but I look at Vinyasa classes because I want to break a sweat (this didn t do it for me). I felt as if I was on the verge of injuring myself at every turn (I don t feel this way at my local yoga studio). I am fit, but not super flexible. That aside I do enjoy Dawnelle s voice. I will keep hunting....

I have been using Yogadownloads.com for 3 years now and this remains my favorite class. Very energetic, inspiring and easy to follow instructions. Great in the morning or any time of day when you feel you need a wake-up.

A good class. I especially appreciate the challenging poses (headstand, full wheel). My only complaint is that I wish the A and B series went through the full flow rather short-circuiting to just crescent or warrior. I like a few breaths in down dog to take stock of my breath and my energy level. I think that this balance can be accomplished without sacrificing building warmth in the body. Overall, this was nice and I will probably try it again.

Dawnelle is a wonderful teacher: her instructions are clear (she always builds up to her flow sequence) and her practices are challenging. I felt this was just what I needed to wake up my spine and brain at 6 am! Fun and challenging sequence, I recommend it (60 min version)!

Love Love Love this class! I have nearly 20 YDL classes and this one is at the top of my list. Instructions are clear. I love the way it flows. I feel like I ve gotten a great work out by the time I m done. And I love the fact that she puts in a few child s poses here & there! Keep up the great work. Namaste .

It was a good class, but I found that she wasn t very clear in several parts. I would be doing the downward facing dog and then all of a sudden she was saying to do the warrior pose. Or I was on my front and she was saying to bring the knees in to the chest while you re on your back. I would stop and be confused many times.

Dawnelle taught me my first yoga class 6 years ago. Her voice and encouragement during the class is amazing. It was as if she knew exactly what my body needed and when. It was awesome. Did the 60 min.

I was skeptical at first, but I must say...after doing this several times at 5 a.m., it really does invigorate the body and wake me up! I love the focus on backbends, and I think this could be good for any time of day...except perhaps before bed!

I love this class as a transition from the easiest flows on this site to something a bit more challenging. After a few weeks of doing the gentle hatha flows and lunar flow, I started incorporating this into my routine, doing it on days when I m feeling a bit looser and ready for something more challenging than gentle hatha. There s enough variation that you can pace yourself, and Dawnelle is very clear about describing the poses. The resting postures in between the backbends also keep this from being too daunting for a beginner.

Dawnelle is so great. I love her voice and the peaceful but powerful vibe she brings through the audio presentation.
This was an excellent class. I have been nursing and rehabbing a sprained back for almost a year, and I was nervous when this class was presented as a backbending class. I let it flow though, and I m glad I did. Dawnelle offered very gentle backbends to begin, and developed the class slowly and smoothly. She shared pose variations and options, and I appreciated her sharing the "reasons" for the various postures and flows to develop the practice.

This is a really good class. It wakes up the body in a good way, and even has some fun and challenging poses in it like headstand and wheel poses.

Really enjoy this one. The challenge of a raised leg wheel sets a positive tone for the rest of day, and Dawnelle is a delight to have in my ears at that time of the morning. Highly recommended.

The 20 minute morning flow is a great way to start the day. The opening sequence closely resembles surya namaskara, a beautiful salute to the sun, ideal at day break. From there a full range of postures working every part of the body flows in a tightly timed sequence all the way to a well earned rest in savasana at the end. The whole body feels invigorated and ready to go when finished and all that in just 20 minutes. This sequence really is great way to set yourself up to fully engage with all that the coming day has to offer.

This class warms you up nicely and then opens up your chest and heart with a nice set of backbends. This class is so good to undo all that hunching over we do all day long.

I really loved this class. Dawnelle is great and explains the poses well. I surprised myself with some of them that I didn`t think I could do. If you want to get started in the morning this is one class you need to try!

I know it`s called "Morning Flow" but after a few mornings, I decided to try the practice in the evening, and I slept fantastically!

I got the 30 minutes one fist and I liked it so much I figured I try this one. Oh my God! this is a killer. It worked all my body from head to toe. Really, really good.
