This is one of my go-to morning yoga classes. Yoga led by Elise with her authentic energy and warm openness is one of my favorite ways to start my day. Thank you, Elise.

This class was exactly what I was looking for! I recently moved across country and things have been hectic and a bit stressful. I woke this morning a bit stiff and wanting to move but not push really hard. This class gave me exactly that. My neck and shoulders feel so much better and I feel much more energized and ready to take on the day. Thank you Elise!

great
By tiara | Sunday, September 11, 2022
I really like this class and the way it is taught. The cues are very clear. It was the right level of intensity to ease into the day.
One suggestion (and this applies to all YogaDownload videos): Before going into savasana, let the audience know if you ll be returning to end the practice. It was hard to fully relax, wondering if I needed to time myself so I wouldn t end the practice too late. A small comment like "I ll be back in 2 minutes to end the practice with you" would allow me to more fully relax in savasana, and not keep looking at the computer screen.

This is great after several hours of computer work.
Elongate and enliven all those hunched and cramped bones.
The perfect antidote to tech-neck."
By Kinter | Saturday, April 11, 2020
Elise, you re such a gem. I m returning to Yoga Downloads after several years away and several years of not practicing consistently. Coming back to the mat was the first thing I started doing as part of my mental, emotional, and physical self-care during the COVID-19 quarantine. I m grateful to come back to teachers like Elise who I didn t even know I missed!
Elise s flow is graceful and eases your body open. I m surprised to find that I ve also broken a sweat. Great cues and reminders to breath into your body. What a great teacher!

Delicious.
By ljsmom | Wednesday, March 20, 2019
Perfect morning wake up. I liked how we started on our backs and slowly moved to wake up different parts of our body. Clear cues as always.
By jmo | Wednesday, October 24, 2018
Gentle morning stretches. Thank you Elise!
By Jo | Thursday, October 11, 2018
Another great class by Elise, very relaxing, good stretches for early in the morning
By Ms Wildstar | Saturday, October 6, 2018
Normally this class would be too slow for me (and I m not power yoga crazy or anything, I just like to move when I am doing yoga) but I am slowly recovering from a bad back sprain and this was just right for my abilities, right now. I will probably do this as my morning yoga for the next few days as a work up to trying to get back to where I was before. Would definitely also be a good way to get your yoga on if you are under the weather for wharever reason. Really appreciate this class, thank you!
By KKLIVI | Thursday, September 27, 2018
Great way to start moving in the morning. Lots of reminders to breathe into your muscles to get them ready for the day. thank you
By Linda | Sunday, September 23, 2018
Was perfect for my Sunday afternoon!
By Suzie | Sunday, September 23, 2018
I had a few personal technical issues yesterday, so had to improvise my yoga session, but am determined to keep my 14 day challenge on track. In fact my intention is to set a personal goal of 21 consecutive days in the hope of including yoga into every day.
Thank you for the wonderful sessions and support.
By Magnolia | Saturday, September 22, 2018
Did this one before bed...very relaxing.
By Danielle | Wednesday, September 5, 2018
If you re not feeling 100% and want to move a bit to feel better, this is the PERFECT class. Thanks Elise!
By LuluRose | Sunday, July 29, 2018
Great class. Perfect blend of slow stretches with a touch of strength. Warming but not sweaty. I feel great after this and feel it would also be good as a pre-bedtime class too
By Jessica | Monday, May 28, 2018
I didn t do a class all weekend and this class was perfect for a Monday morning. Great flow and wonderful transitions.
By cnosingleton | Friday, May 25, 2018
This was perfect for today when I needed to move in a gentle yet invigorating way. I enjoyed this practice.
By Gretchen | Wednesday, May 9, 2018
This is exactly the kind of morning routine I need. I usually shy away from traditional morning yoga practices as they tend to be too vigorous for me first thing in the morning. This was the perfect class for a sluggish morning person!! Thank you Elise! You are becoming my favorite yoga download instructor. Every class is gold!! Namaste.
By jensekat | Tuesday, April 24, 2018
Perfect for those mornings when you wake up feeling stiff or sore. Thank you!
By Denelle | Sunday, February 11, 2018
A great way to wake up on a Sunday morning. Thank you for the practice Elise!
By Syls Mom | Sunday, February 4, 2018
Nice. She has a calming voice.
By dawnk | Sunday, December 31, 2017
Lovely, slow practice! Perfect!
By Kris | Wednesday, November 1, 2017
I keep coming back to this practice a few mornings every week. I drive A LOT for work, and this routine is perfect for stretching out a stiff body. Thank you! :)
By Bogdana | Wednesday, November 1, 2017
A perfect way to start the day! I feel relaxed and energized. Elise, your directions are so clear and your voice so soothing. Thanks for another amazing class!
By MNWildRose | Saturday, October 28, 2017
With a great start to the day like this, I m going to have a good one! I love how you used common poses and transitions in little different ways. I don t think I ll ever make it to forward fold from plank without a few extra steps - but that s OK! And your obvious kindness nurtures me. Namaste.
By Darby | Wednesday, October 18, 2017
Second time doing this class is an opportunity to really open your heart for the day. Thank you Elise!

As always an excellent class. Elise always knows what my body needs thank you!
By liese | Tuesday, August 15, 2017
Really enjoyed this gentle stretching morning practice. Very stiff after a run last night and I feel a lot more supple and stretched out.
By Geri | Friday, August 4, 2017
A really nice gentle morning practice which opens up and stretches out everywhere. There is a wee blip in the video around 18 mins. in the transition from the first lunge to pigeon where I did not get the hip opener until the left side repetition. I will do this again both as a stand alone and also as an ease into a more vigorous practice.
By Josh | Thursday, August 3, 2017
Another great class by Elise! This one focusing more on seducing the body open.
A great way to start the day, and a ritual, indeed. The sequence is one you can do at home every morning, with or without guidance.
Thanks, Elise, for another class focusing on the balance of sweet and strong.
By Brenda A | Tuesday, August 1, 2017
This is exactly what my sore and slightly injured body needed! Thanks for a gentle practice that eases the body into wakefulness, going through a complete range of motion, and setting the mind up for a successful day!
By Keetu | Saturday, July 29, 2017
Excellent class, perfect for working out the physical and mental kinks in your body and mind before starting your day. I wish there was a 45 minute version. Maybe sometime soon, Elise? Thank you!
By tammieraven | Saturday, July 29, 2017
Lovely kind morning class - great start to my weekend. Thank you Elise!
By Marine | Friday, July 28, 2017
You once again saved me Elise !
By dlapor03 | Wednesday, July 26, 2017
I really enjoyed this class and have already added it to favorites. Elise s classes are always wonderful and this is no exception. Any chance we can have more morning yoga routines? Many thanks to you Elise!
By Rupal | Wednesday, July 26, 2017
Very nice routine. For me this was more "aaaaaaah" than everyday namaste but I love Elise s kind style that looks at all the restorative properties of yoga. Thank you!
By Shannon | Tuesday, July 25, 2017
Great class for a relaxed and lovely morning. We got to a lot of interesting and fun poses, and we did so in a very flowy and supported way. Perfect way to start the day before morning coffee. I ll be doing this one again!
