I've said for a long time that it takes more strength to be kind. And yet, kindness is much overlooked. This is because to truly be kind, you have to know deeply it's opposite, sorrow.

This class was inspired by the poem, Kindness, by Naomi Shahib Nye, which describes this concept so beautifully.

And kindness does not mean always doing the "nice" thing or the "easy" thing; sometimes it is hard, strong, and the ultimate form of nurturance.

In this deepening-into-the-hips flow, you will explore what kindness is, in your body: what does it mean to EMBODY kindness?
It is through the practice of embodiment that you come to directly experience a concept, then integrate it into your life, so you are well equipped to live it.

After this class, you will feel a sense of freedom from slowing down the pace to work deeply into the hips. Allow yourself to be with what arises in each shape, exploring your own edge, and practicing kindness with yourself.

"kindness does not mean always doing the "nice" thing or the "easy" thing; sometimes it is hard, strong, and the ultimate form of nurturance." I have been working being kind to myself, because I am hard on myself always. The message in this class made me wonder if I only I need is "balance." Anyway, I love this style of practice: knowing what is just right to my body. I feel good and light after taking this class. Thank you!

I did benefit from this but felt it could have gone depper into the hips.

Wow, from someone with lack of mobility in the hip, it was a great middle ground in between hard and gentle. I love it.

Precious class with smart guidance for a day when you feel tight or just want to reconnect kindly with you body and inner self. Bravo!

Loved this class. It does feel a bit back to front with all the big hip stretches in the first half but not anything that should trouble a regular YDL er. I felt gently flushed through and nicely calm by the end. Would definitely do this class again

Another fine class from Kristen. Im easing back in to yoga after a shoulder injury and this felt wonderful - to be able to go deep in these hip openers and still very KIND to my shoulder. 5 stars!

Worked too strong too soon, this instructor needs to warm up the class before launching into intense stretches...

Very nice aah class! My hips and hamstrings are quite happy. A bit too much talk for my taste but will definitely do this class again. Wish it were longer!

Nourishing and reviving! I was feeling anxious and scattered when I decided to take 45 minutes out for yoga. I feel so refreshed and centered now. Beautiful, thoughtful flow.

This class really helped to open up my hips. It is a great series of stretches and her instruction was clear and helped me get more out of the poses. It is more of an "aah" class (at least that s what my hips are saying)! Very enjoyable and the time just flew by - I wanted it to go on even longer!
