The instructor is great. I wish YDL classifications could be reviewed (and intensity rated out of 10 not 4). This was a 6/10 so I wouldn t really call it "bring a towel." I also found the flow pretty basic and a bit boring (not very adv. intermediate). It s just a lot of "Chair, twist to the right, airplane arms, twist left, airplane arms, again twist right/left." Then "lunge, twist right/left." The end though, reverse half moon to one legged staff. Yes! I just wish there had been more of that to make the flow more exciting/rigorous.

What a blast of strength, flow, sweat, courage, new sequences and courage. If you re into that.

Great flow! Lovely upbeat class and cues - made a couple of my least favorite poses a bit more bearable :)

Once again, I am amazed by the way Christen makes an online class feel so personalized, like you are actually physically in her class. Excellent theme and cues, facilitating a functional mind-body connection. Thank you!

Amazing balance between pushing yourself a little harder but within your comfort zone. Christen, it would be awesome if there were alternate poses for people with painful hand arthritis. Down Dog, plank, arm balances are really painful on arthritic hands. I would love a challenging flow that builds heat with lots of instruction on easying the weight bearing

Another great class from Christen. Powerful slow transitions, challenging balances and even a little side crow. As always she is uplifting and inspirational .

Excellent yoga class with a fine balance of slow warm up flows, challenging flows, and stretching/opening work.Just the right amount of encouragement to keep you going and dead-on verbal cues which never step over the line into the "too talky" zone.

Starts will some slow warm up flows to get the blood moving: thread the needle, sun A, chair, twisted chair.

Moves into crescent, twisted crescent, and chatturangas. Ups the game with revolved half moon & standiing revolved half moon (sequencing through those multiple times).

Adds in plank with leg sequences to engage core, then into core work, and finishes with runner s lunge, wild thing, camel (I do toes pose instead) and lying twists.

This is my 3rd Christen Bakken class - I love her!

Thank you Christen! I choose this class because I am in the midst of a cleanse and the title said it was detoxifying. I m glad that I was doing this at home alone because toward the end - the figure 4 pose- I burst into tears with a big emotional detoxifying cleanse. That s a good thing! I like your delivery which is very happy and upbeat. Thank you!

Since a week I am experimenting all of Christen s classes and after this one I can definitely say that I ve found my Guru or at least the example of the Yoga Teacher I hope to become one day. All of her flows are amazingly done, full of fantasy and welcome challenges, it surprises me every time. Thank you so much for these experiences!

OMG I LOVE HER! What a fun, inspirational, well-thought out class! I love the amount of repetitions (allows person w/ the computer to get a rhythm going!), her easy-going nature and her stress on being grateful and in the moment-

LOVED IT! Thank youuuuuu :)
