Wonderful class. It eased my lower back pain significantly.

My back pain is from tension but I can see if it were a more medical origin this class might be dangerous. It wasn t too hard at all and it used some more novel moves rather than endless warriors which I enjoyed. Over all I liked it and it was a very peaceful way to start my day.

A unique practice, and clearly a lot of thought went into it. For someone who considers herself advanced, I had trouble following at times, and found that some corrections (which were very helpful) were given on the second side of a pose, so couldn t be put into use on the first side. I felt that the practice was good, but I wouldn t go out of my way to do it again.

I really Like this class but I m not sure that it would be suitable for someone who actually had back pain as it was quite strong. I found the instructions very clear with lots of helpful typical pointers with a lot of focus on abdominal work.. I really liked the pigeon variations . I would have given it five stars but felt that the title was maybe a little misleading.

I have chronic problems with my lower back AND I love to be active - cycling, running, hiking, swimming. This class always helps my back. It is one I return to over and over, for both prevention and whenever I am having pain, It works wonders!

A wonderful blend of standing and floor work. I went paddleboarding and did a core class the last two days and my back/core were sore, sore, sore. Feel WAY better after doing this class!

Good work, interesting class. I realize I don t enjoy classes without music, though.

That was work, good work. I found that I needed blocks to assist in some positions.

I think this class is alright as a regular intermediate yoga class (though, for me personally, I didn t think it flowed all that well). I just didn t really get how this was great for back pain. There was a wee bit of concentration on the back (mainly prayer behind the head and gentle backbend from there), but mostly it was just a regular yoga class. I think you d be in traction if you had severe back pain and did this. What helped my back feel a ton better was Jackie s Yoga for Back Pain 2.

Great class for me as I used to be advanced but am now getting back into practicing from a while off. Challenging enough but not too hard. Good compliment to running and cycling!

This was a really nice release for the back, although I think some movements could be a bit painful if your back pain is bad. The instruction is clear, concise and does not distract me from the practice. Immediately downloaded one of her other classes. I felt very open through the upper back after this class which is always a spot I find difficult to release tension. Also a challenging core workout as I lack core strength.

Excellent class! She moves the student into difficult poses at a slow steady pace, giving the detailed anatomical information and cues for relaxation that are the hallmark of yoga, so that students can advance safely and with the alignment that is imperative for healing. Well done!

A great way to start your day. The instruction clear and challenging. I also like the way Erin leaves room for one to add their own poses. Looking forward to more classes from Erin

YES! Back Pain Sucks...I have a bad lower back and at 30 minutes I could not continue this class due to increased back pain. Maybe if you don t have degenerated discs as I do, this would be better. For me: too many forward bends. I DID like how she incorporates the standing cat/cow postures. There is a headstand in this class. Her cues are great; she holds the poses so you can breathe into them. But for me, it s just not going to work. It is a challenging class & I was sweating within 20 minutes. I ve been doing yoga several times a week for many years now to help my back; but right now, I can t say this helped me.
What I don t like: is trying to figure out what a class is going to be like with just a 2 -2.5 minute video snippet and no pose guide to look at before you buy.

I have a new favorite pose combination thanks to this class. I loved (and my back loved) how she worked cat/cow into different variations - especially the standing pose with the "prayer" hands behind the head (cat) to a back bend (cow). The queues she gives should be heard by everyone if they want to build and maintain a stronger back. I actually have started to do just the first 15 minutes of the class a few times a week for a good, quick stretch (the full class is amazing, though). Thanks!

This was a dynamic and challenging class. I really like Erin Dudley s style--good sequencing and clear instructions. What I really liked is that she did not engage in the annoying constant chatter that some of the instructors do, which let me focus on what I was doing. I would like to see more of her classes, especially a challenging Vinyasa Flow.
