I really love your classes, I ve done it twice and I always feel refreshed and calm after the class.
Thank you Jackie
By Jackie Hughes | Wednesday, April 14, 2021
got a late start with the challenge, so getting to this one today. It was nice to have a refresher on the basic poses and to get breathing reminders. I like Jackie s pacing.
By wecket | Monday, April 12, 2021
This was a really good slow class, you definitely have time to breath in poses, but no so strenuous that you begin to shake and sweat.
No plank, no chaturanga
By Rosa | Monday, April 12, 2021
Really enjoyed the class. Very calming.
By Shawnna | Monday, April 12, 2021
I did Jackie s 50 minute Beginner class. I like that she gave alternatives if you couldn t do a pose. Very well paced.
By runmiarun | Monday, April 12, 2021
Excellent class for those of us who are rusty and returning to yoga after a hiatus. This is a favorite class.
By Veronica | Monday, April 12, 2021
Great class with clear instructions, thanks!
By Ann | Monday, April 12, 2021
I chose this class for the challenge today because I love Jackie s classes! It never hurts to review form. My only suggestion would be that I really prefer classes that allow me to choose my own music. The background music sounds blurry and tinny.
By Pam | Monday, April 12, 2021
Great class to come back to after being out of yoga for six months. Jackie is a wonderful instructor.
By ronda | Monday, April 12, 2021
After major surgery, and 4 months away from yoga, Jackie s class was a perfect to begin again! Thanks for your thoughtful explanations and modifications.

Thank-you Jackie for being my guide in bringing me home to myself. You are a gifted teacher and I feel gratitude to be able to practice with you.
By Candace | Saturday, October 26, 2019
I have been doing yoga for years and thoroughly enjoyed this class, it is great to refocus on yoga foundations like proper setup, staying present, and clearing the mind through intensity with the breath. I have also done Jackie s power yoga series and they are also excellent. Such an incredible instructor, thank you Jackie!
By Naomi.gladish | Saturday, May 5, 2018
Great Class, even for those more experienced yogis. Even though it says beginner, it can still be challenging if you really dive deep into each posture.
By sspaulding | Tuesday, January 31, 2017
The best beginner class, hands down. This class motivated me to yoga daily.
By Emma | Sunday, October 23, 2016
By kitt36 | Sunday, September 18, 2016
I think u have become my favourite instructor. Thank U for the wonderful video that encourages beginners and those returning to yoga to continue their practice and not be discouraged.
By dmt72 | Monday, May 23, 2016
I just love Jackie s teachings and this is as good as any
By Kanabar | Sunday, December 6, 2015
It s a great class, with quite many different positions covered one after the other.
Not too strenuous, very good for beginner or semi-beginner.
By MaMaGretz | Thursday, April 23, 2015
First time using Yoga Download! Loved this one! Perfect to help me get a rusty body back on track. Challenging enough but gentle as well.
By Devon | Monday, April 13, 2015
Brilliant class!!
She talks you through everything in a way that isn t annoying and helps keep your thoughts focused. There is a good range of strength and stretching work throughout the whole body. Loved it!
By laurie10 | Tuesday, March 31, 2015
This was my first yoga ever. I highly recommend it. It have me a good idea what yoga is all about and I feel amazing. The instructions were very clear. It wasn t too difficult but I definitly felt it working.
By jojo1981 | Wednesday, March 4, 2015
Wonderful class. Jackie is warm and encouraging and the postures were nicely sequenced. I love Jackie s teaching style and how calm and encouraging she is. Excellent instructions too. Thank you.
By Cindy Hernandez | Wednesday, January 28, 2015
My Yoga practice is on and off but with work lately my lower back has been really tight and starting to hurt. I feel a difference already. Definitely the class I needed to get me back and centered.
By Cindy | Tuesday, January 27, 2015
This is such a wonderful beginner class. Jackie s voice is so soothing and encouraging. great specific instruction and modifications. My favorite!
By kbreter | Monday, January 26, 2015
Great class to get back into the swing of things after a break.
By hdreps | Wednesday, January 21, 2015
By Carey | Thursday, January 15, 2015
I have done yoga a lot in the past and I am now trying to get back into doing it again. This was a really good class I think for people who have yoga experience and are working their way back into practicing. I liked that it didn t give so much instruction with every pose and other classes I have done did and was really bored with.
By Angelique | Tuesday, January 13, 2015
This class was really great! I m new to yoga and this definitely helped with the fundamentals.
By shiseidosky | Tuesday, January 13, 2015
I usually practice vinyasa flow, so holding the poses in this class was a challenge! I could definitely feel that my hips were more open afterwards, which was very nice.
By Tracey | Tuesday, January 13, 2015
Really enjoyed the class. The time went by really fast and poses were doable to a newbie like me.
By Wendy Sechrest-Weeks | Tuesday, January 13, 2015
Jackie is by far my favorite instructor on ydl. This is a great class for a returning yogi like myself. I will certainly do this one again.
By Jess | Monday, January 12, 2015
Lengthy stays in the basic poses offer a nice challenge even to experienced practitioners. Will do again.
By Danielle | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great way to end my day, and start the challenge!
By Karlizabeth | Monday, January 12, 2015
This is one of the first classes I ever streamed on this site, returning to my practice after a long hiatus. So nice to be directed back to it for the 21-day challenge! Jackie is so welcoming.
By pygeon | Monday, January 12, 2015
Really enjoyed this instructor and this class. My husband and I are doing these classes together and really have enjoyed our experience so far!
By Ashley & Bob | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great beginning class. I chose the beginner class of the 21 day reboot since I am just coming back to yoga after an Achilles laceration and it was a nice, gentle class to start back with. the instructor was clear and precise in her instructions and the gentle reminders that I will get my strength and flexibility back were encouraging.
By Heather L. | Monday, January 12, 2015
This is a great class! I really enjoyed the pace of it for day 1 of the 21 day challenge.
By jenifer | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great class and the perfect way to start the 21 day challenge
By Dawn | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great Yoga Rebirth! So glad I decided to do this to get back into the swing of things again!
By lolojo411 | Monday, January 12, 2015
I have experienced yoga on and off for 10 years. What a perfect introduction (or re-introduction) to yoga! Thank you!
By Sarah | Monday, January 12, 2015
Excellent class! I decided to start the 21-Day Lifestyle reboot since I have been away from my mat for a long while! It was great to be reminded of the right form and learned some new times for my hands! I definitely appreciated the gentle reminders that you get better with time -- I can t believe how stiff I am! Even if this was my first class it would ve been an excellent intro to yoga.
By VeetVoojagig | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great beginner class! I went with beginner because I have just recently recovered from a broken foot and thought it would be a great way to safely explore what feels good and what still could use some time. The instructor was very clear in her descriptions. Very good, solid, foundational type of class. Thanks!
By Courtney | Monday, January 12, 2015
One of the best classes I have done! First at home yoga class and I was as engaged as if I was in a class! 21 day challenge.
By Foxer101 | Monday, January 12, 2015
This was a great first class. I am not new to yoga but haven t been practicing recently. This was a nice reintroduction. The pace allowed was slow which was good because it allowed the intensity to be amped up if I got into a pose before the instructor finished explaining it - which makes it perfect for beginners and begin-again-ers!
By Shifiera | Monday, January 12, 2015
By Jeanette | Monday, January 12, 2015
Good instructions for alignment and alternative positions.
By Melanie | Monday, January 12, 2015
Did this with my boyfriend for day 1 of the challenge!
By Casie | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great class for beginners, or anyone wanting an easy class that brings focus to breath. I am starting the 21 day challenge reboot and I was in the mood for something grounding and easy. This fit perfectly.She takes the time to remind you to center your focus and really focuses on alignment. It would be nice if there were more options for taking the poses deeper, but it is geared for beginners.
By Nicole | Monday, January 12, 2015
After letting the stress of everyday life take control for too long, I decided to embark on the 21 day challenge to get myself back into the habit of yoga and the habit of being centered. I forgot how challenging it is to simply find stillness. Though I ve done yoga before, this was a phenomenal class for getting back into the practice, and I look forward to the days ahead!
By Laura Gan | Monday, January 12, 2015
Very refreshing! I am not a beginner, but not quite an intermediate, I guess just somewhere in the gray area. This was a lovely way to start the 21 day challenge and to remind myself to slow down and refocus on the spiritual side of yoga (which I am terrible at). Fabulous vocal guidance and great pacing.
By Alison | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great all around!
By MB Love It | Monday, January 12, 2015
This was my first class ever in Yoga, I was able to follow along fine and feel great afterwards!
By garyshelly | Monday, January 12, 2015
For my first class and the start of the 21 Day Lifestyle Reboot, I don t think there could have been a better class. The descriptions on what the poses and how to obtain them were perfect for the beginner.
By Alyssa | Monday, January 12, 2015
Great class for beginners and those who are just getting back into their practice like myself! Instructor is easy to follow as she guides through each pose.
By Mia | Monday, January 12, 2015
Awesome class! Obviously suited to beginners, but for someone coming back to yoga after a long hiatus, her gentle pace and verbal cues are excellent and help you feel good about who you are and where you are in the practice. Thanks, Jackie!
By Corinne1014 | Monday, January 12, 2015
A great class, even for someone who has been practicing for several years. It was a challenging work out to slowly move through the poses and focus on alignment.
By Debbie | Monday, January 12, 2015
Very relaxing. Good instructions
By Choppy D | Monday, January 12, 2015
This is a great class to ease you into your day. Jackie is very descriptive on the movements which makes it very easy to follow. A great class for beginners.
By CRTVGRL | Monday, January 12, 2015
Amazing class for a newbie....her instructions, rhythm & style are perfect for anyone! Namaste!
By Scrittip | Sunday, January 11, 2015
This class is perfect for any level of yoga. Jackie is excellent in explaining the positions and the benefits from each position. I love this class!
By Brook936 | Tuesday, January 6, 2015
Perfect beginner class! Ive taken a small handful of yoga classes on different vacations and this really gave me such a better understanding of yoga! Fantastic instructions!
By Annie | Saturday, January 3, 2015
By India2c | Tuesday, December 30, 2014
I convinced my finance, who has never taken yoga to practice this class with me.These are his words, "I am a beginner. This is my 5th class with Jackie. I like the way she conducts her class, as she is easy to follow and class has a smooth flow. I feel really good and loose after the 50 minute class. I will continue Yoga. Thanks Jackie"
By Marley | Monday, November 17, 2014
This class is great - easy for a beginner to follow, but with enough challenge to allow some room to grow into it.
By avemaria | Thursday, September 11, 2014
Great class. I ve been doing yoga at home for several months but wish I had found this class first! Great explanations and modifications if they re needed.
By msdebbijo | Saturday, August 23, 2014
This was my first class and I loved it!! Great detailed instruction, so I didn t feel lost and confused. I finished the video feeling like I actually finished a yoga class.
By Harmony459 | Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Thank you Jackie! I had done a few On Demand beginner classes and laughed at what they expected me to already know and be able to do. I downloaded this class based on all the reviews and you guys didn t let me down. This was exactly what i was looking for. Jackie made the moves easy to follow and described them in a simple flowing format (not too fast or slow), plus she explained certain techniques that I didn t know about before. The finger pads technique really helped me as i have wrist issues and i m double jointed so that was a great pointer! She showed alternate poses for those w/ knee problems or not a lot of flexibility. Overall I will be buying Jackie s other videos very soon! Thank you Jackie! Namaste
By JoAnne | Tuesday, July 1, 2014
I am just getting back to yoga after having a seven month break in order to recover from an injury. This is a great class and a wonderful teacher. A good review of the basics and a nice pace, for beginners and higher levels.
By missm925 | Sunday, June 29, 2014
1st class! I loved it!
By Amy | Tuesday, June 24, 2014
Wonderful for beginners and intermediate. I will use this to introduce my boyfriend to yoga.
By Lisa | Wednesday, June 11, 2014
This is my favorite class, challenging but I can acomplish each pose even if I need to modify a bit. The instructor does a great job, she explains each pose in detail giving you time to be sure you can hold each pose correctly before going to the next.
By Lisa | Friday, May 30, 2014
I am not beginner, this is my favorite bedtime yoga!
By MNWildRose | Monday, May 26, 2014
I ve just finished my first yoga class, and I feel really great. Yoga is something that I really want to devote myself to, for my body and my soul. This teacher is superb, so affirming and so assuring. Tomorrow, I ll return.
By Suzy G | Thursday, May 22, 2014
Love it !! This was my first ever yoga class.
By emckain | Wednesday, May 21, 2014
Instructor s explanation of moves is easy to understand and follow. This is a great beginner class.
By Meg | Saturday, May 3, 2014
I love this class. It is the perfect re-introduction to yoga for me! I feel relaxed and strong and stretchy.
By c | Thursday, April 17, 2014
What a great class. I truly enjoyed it because Jackie went at the right pace, for me, and her instructions were clear. I ve tried a number of different intro courses, but never have I had instruction as detailed and well-paced as this one. I can t recommend it enough for anyone who has been seeking a beginner s class but have been frustrated by teachers moving too fast or who don t offer enough detailed instruction. For example, Jackie talked about the finger pads beneath the fingernails in downward dog, about putting pressure there in order to remove stress on the wrist and to challenge the forearms more. I ve never heard that before. An excellent tip among many. Thanks, Jackie. Namaste!
By Amanda | Wednesday, April 9, 2014
My favorite beginner class so far!
By L | Sunday, March 23, 2014
Great introduction to Yoga. The instructor was very clear and made me understand what was required of each pose to feel it on my body.
By Cheryl | Thursday, March 20, 2014
Excellent clear instruction. This was the perfect yoga instruction for a newbie like me. Thank you.
By Margie | Thursday, March 13, 2014
Wonderful, love this class!
By JanelleA | Monday, March 10, 2014
Fantastic class! Great for any time of the day.
By MHicks22 | Saturday, March 8, 2014
Loved this class and the calm nature and soothing yet clear directions. I m trying to make yoga a habit in my life and have taken only a few classes to date. The poses in this class were appropriately challenging yet attainable and lasted a perfect length of time. Transitions were nice as well. Have already searched for other classes to take with this instructor. Highly recommend. :-)
By kristina | Thursday, March 6, 2014
By sachmowad | Saturday, March 1, 2014
It s been a while since I ve done yoga, and I really enjoyed this class as a re-introduction. Even when I wasn t watching the screen, I understood how she wanted me to move my body based on her directions.
By llarson | Tuesday, February 25, 2014
Been doing yoga for years, but this was a nice review. Nice slow pace.
By susieph | Sunday, February 23, 2014
Excellent class. Even if you have been doing yoga for a while this is a great class to bring you back to the basics. Very good tips on postures.
By K | Saturday, February 22, 2014
I have been away from yoga for a few years and am trying to make it a habit once again. I found this class to be just what I was looking for - the poses were interesting with just the right amount of instructions. I also really like the way she instructed the class. It was the perfect pace.
