Effort and Ease

Emily Cordes

This 30 minute Ladder Flow Vinyasa will ask us to find the balance between effort & ease. We aim to maintain this steadiness even while flowing through poses in a breath per movement style and challenging our balance to find stillness. Flow with me through lunges, balances, backbends and feel both challenged and energized while you build strength alongside the capacity to surrender.

For me, this was more effort than ease - but in the best possible way.

Emily guides this practice with effort and ease. Her calm and straight forward cues had a nice consistent cadence that kept the flow moving so nicely. This practice was challenging in a refreshing sort of way which was surprisingly meditative for me. Look forward to repeating this one!

Great class with a different sequence. She does have different queing you have to get used to but that doesn t mean it s bad. If you are coming off a wrist injury like I am I would suggest giving it a bit of time before doing the class because this is very wrist heavy.

Emily Cordes commented on this review

Hi there! Thank you for your comments, I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I can understand that this class might not be the best fit given that you re coming off a wrist injury. Stay tuned for future "wrist free" practices from me that will be coming here soon :)

I enjoyed some of the flow sequences, but the delivery of the instructions are not always clear especially on inverting the downward dog and a few other more advanced asanas.

Emily Cordes commented on this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I m sorry to hear that pieces were unclear - I hope that if you choose to revisit this practice that it will flow more smoothly now that you have seen the sequence :)

What a fun flow! It might have been a mistake to do this right after my leg workout, but I thoroughly enjoyed the creative sequence. Nice to see you with a class on YDL, Emily!!

Emily Cordes commented on this review

Haha yes - it would definitely be tough after already working the legs! Great to hear you enjoyed the class nonetheless :)

This class really got my heart rate up! Very interesting sequence and Emily s cueing is very good. I d love to know where it was shot. Such a beautiful location and in savasana, I felt like I could smell the sea air!

Emily Cordes commented on this review

Hi Missy! Thanks so much for your kind words. I filmed this in Nicaragua where I spent a good chunk of the year! I love being so close to the water and it definitely makes for perfect film set-up :) I also run retreats here which you can learn about on my website: www.lakeshoreflow.com

Trying to find the balance first thing in the morning is hard. But this practice caused me to focus and enjoy my time on the mat. Loved the flow and mindful words. I will download this to practice again and again.
