Very well rounded class. Excellent cueing. Great guiding for some somatic explorations within the poses. I find myself coming back to this class over the years and have taken some of it into my own practice as well as my classes. Blsessings Joe!

This is a thorough class with clear instruction and a slower, steady pace. Joe skillfully moves you from gentle movement to full wheel with effective cuing and a steady voice. I do this class regularly.

Overall a decent class, however there was a bit too much talking for my taste and with no music it was hard to get in the zone. By 3/4 of the way through the class it s safe to assume we have Child s Pose down and there s no need to give detailed cues, as it becomes a little distracting. Otherwise a nice series of movements, a vigorous flow, and good for loosening and stimulating the joints early in the day.

I turned off this practice after 5 minutes. The instructor would not stop talking and allow me the space to practice breathing or quiet my mind in preparation for yoga.

I so appreciate this class and this teacher. The practice is challenging yet slow and disciplined. The cueing and attention to alignment is excellent. The approach is compassionate yet rigorous and uncompromising. There is no moralizing chitter-chatter, and the finishing shavasana is nice and long. I feel that if I practice this class on a regular basis I shall be physically and mentally tuned and focused. Thank you so much for this gift!

I loved this instructor s imagery and precise instructions. It s a great class for me to ease stiff joints and get myself awake. That said, if you re looking for a fast-moving cardio pumping class, this isn t for you - it s more thoughtful, inward. As a "morning cup of coffee", think of the warmth & heft of the coffee cup in your hand as you sip it and feeling yourself gradually come alert....not chugging down an espresso and running out the door. :)

I didn t love this class but it worked as a nice balanced class. Definitely more Everyday Namaste as others have said. Also, it seemed like a lot of cues for first thing in the morning. Some of the ways he worked you into poses gave more direction than needed. Instructor does have a nice calm voice.

Pretty good. Neither vigorous nor restorative--sort of a combination, but for my preference not enough of one or the other to leave me feeling really satisfied. I agree with a previous reviewer that this class is certainly not "you ll feel it."

This is a wonderful morning practice. I was challenged and coaxed in equal amounts. I was able to access Half Moon and Crow Pose, guided into them with such ease and naturalness. This was a lovely, confidence building morning practice. Thank you.

This is currently one of my favorite classes...certainly my favorite for a 1 hour session. This class really loosens and strengthens your muscles along your spine. Enjoy!!!

What an exceptional class. Very clear instructions - I didn t need the video version really. Perfect pacing with a great variety of poses. I would highly recommend this class for any time of the day.

This is a very relaxing way to wake up with only a couple of challenging moves. If you are newer to yoga, this would be a gentle step into advancing your practice. This practice will start your day with calmness. It is easy to focus on breath and felt like a good massage.

If you are looking for a vigorous, strong cup of black coffee, this is not for you. It certainly is not intermediate nor "you ll feel it." It definitely belongs under beginning or advanced beginning and "everyday namaste." The labels are misleading.

Perfect morning class! This was a great pace for the morning, which leaves you feeling refreshed and ready for the day. This is neither too much nor too little. I return to this one a lot.

I love to do this class after working several hours at the computer. It gets all of those stiff joints moving again. Feels great!!

The perfect blend of what you need in the morning - breathing exercise, flows, stretches - better than a cup of coffee to get you going in the morning!

This is a great morning class! Or anytime of day really. It loosens you up and even gets your heart rate going.

Wonderful! Perfect cueing, sequencing, and calming. I enjoyed no musical background. It was a simple and complete workout that my body craved. More like this, please.

This class is wonderful! The instructor is knowledgeable and has a great knack for exactly when his students might look for guidance. Plus, the class starts slowly enough to be a great way to begin the day. Recommended highly.

I love taking Joe s class. His instruction is extremely clear and his subtle voice is a strong guiding presence. Joe s anatomical expertise is an underlying current throughout, and this along with his creative imagery make his classes very special.

This guy knows his yoga. No fluff and I like the focus on the breath.
