I love this class! I had forgotten about it, and I just did it again for the first time in quite a while. So nice to feel shoulders and chest, and whole upper body, feeling more open; I’ve been really tight lately!

The 25 minute version, at least, seems more like a “you’ll feel it” than “Bring a towel” in terms of intensity. (Maybe even “everyday Namaste” if, like me, you’re having some wrist issues and have to skip Crow.) That was just fine with me, though. Nice overall warmup with a focus on opening the shoulders, well cued. Dawnelle explains very well, which is great in an audio class - I get new things out of familiar postures.

This class really helped relieve some pain in my upper back. I did it yesterday, then my back felt so good today that I decided to do it again!

Got a message that media could not be played. I was enjoying the class until it wouldn t play any longer. It needs some technical intervention.

A great class when you are pressed for time. And a lovely focus on a part of the body that can sometimes be overlooked. Thanks!!

This workout is, shall we say, very efficient? As other commenters note, she does go at quite a fast pace. This results in packing a LOT into 40 minutes, which, if you are strapped for time, is a good thing. If you are not feeling energetic, or prefer feeling your way carefully into each pose, this is probably not for you. But if you like flow, and you want a little bit of a workout along with your shoulder openers, this is a good choice.

Terrific pose sequence with great cues. Adding this one to my list of favorites!

This was a great class! I enjoyed the faster pace. There were a few abs surprises thrown in there, which I enjoyed.

Wow! Excellent class! I m currently writing my thesis so I spend absurd amounts of time in front of my computer. Thanks Dawnelle, I needed this! It s releasing and challenging, but also original (I tend to get bored with flows that are repetitive).

This is a fabulous class. Not only did it open my shoulders, but even as I wasn t aware of it, the class was working my abs, quads and hamstrings.

Nice class (audio guide) that moves along at quite a pace, but still has some long juicy holds. Good cues, so I didn t need to refer to the pose guide. Fits in a good selection of poses with time to align.

Too fast for me (I had two breaths to her four) and didn t target the shoulders in the way I had hoped. I guess I was looking for neck and shoulders...

Great class! My first time doing an audio class, the instructions were clear & easy to follow. Love shoulder work!

I am so very impressed with this class. It not only worked my shoulders but also has some great heart openers, twists and core work. I had to move away from my Jivamukti practice to work on healing my shoulders and yoga elbows. I definitely feel like this class with help me on that path in addition to giving me a well rounded yoga practice. Thanks!

I really, really liked this shoulder opener practice. Thank you for offering it!

Thanks! I really...really needed that. The twists and binds were perfect. My shoulders feel better than they have for weeks. Also the IT band stretch was a great bonus.

I liked this! I only did the 25 minute shoulder opener, which was what I wanted at the time (plus it was free). It is definitely a gentle flow, but it moves very quickly. I don t necessarily know that my shoulders are any more open...I ve had classes that focused on shoulder openers before that were much more intense, but it was a good flow, and its definitely worth trying.

I have yet to try a Yoga Download podcast that I didn t like but I think this one is my favorite so far! It gives a challenge but isn t especially difficult. I loved the frog+full bind, amazing opening in the shoulders! This was just an amazing class...
