Christen Bakken

The practice of western yoga asks us to stretch. Often we come to the mat to stretch our hammies or our shoulders. In Rockin' Bhakti Yoga, we challenge ourselves to stretch on a deeper level; to open our hearts, as well as our hips.

In this class, we will use twists to lengthen our side bodies, to decompress our spinal column, and to prepare us for a bit of heart opening. While Christen will guide students into tangled and twisted positions, it becomes the role of the student to find space, breath, and peace to remain committed. This commitment to staying in a position of seeming discomfort transfers as we leave the mat and face a world that does not always hand us the situations we once desired. It is our opportunity, to soften into these new situations and see if there is still space and peace available to us anyway.

Christen's Rockin' Bhakti style, is vigorous, yet light-hearted. It challenges the students while inviting them to surrender and let go. Enjoy this class for the physical challenge it will present in the sequencing and the longer lasting effects of a lighter and more lifted spirit.

Great class! Christen is my very favorite instructor because she s funny, encouraging and her yoga classes are so much fun. This one is no exception. Lots of twists throughout and the end really kicked much butt. Everything Christen says throughout keeps me going. Good steady pace but not too fast.

Thank you so much for this class. I started the class today feeling overwhelmed, and was losing my patience all morning. After this class, I feel so much more calm, and so invigorated both physically and emotionally. What a wonderful teacher....am looking forward to taking more!

Another fantastic class from Christen. Something about her teaching style helps me be more focused and go deeper and farther than usual. The moderate pace with challenging poses helps--you re not rushing to get to the next thing. Invigorating.

The word "rockin" had me concerned that this would be a fast moving class. However it is a deliberate, well-paced complete workout that challenged me as well as gave me a sense of calm.

This is a great class but the instructor is way too preachy. I prefer my yoga classes without the sermon.

Christen has quickly become a favorite teacher! this class is another fabulous one ~ i love the theme of changing perspective and choosing gratitude. the flow is active and builds beautifully. many twists, of course, along with folds, hip openers, balancing postures and backbends. it s a well-focused class and so invigorating! looking forward to more classes from Christen!!

I really enjoyed this class - it had a nice vinyasa style without being too "power" oriented. Christen s style of teaching is great too, she gives great pointers without talking constantly. I would definitely do this class again, I just finished and feel incredible!
