I have been suffering back pain for a month, and my physical therapist said that taking only gentle slow class is okay. This class is perfect. There is no rapid movements, so I can listen to my back before moving. I am grateful for finding this class. Next time I will take this class without music. The music is nice but it would be better to take this class without the music. Thank you.

A really chill practice to energize and awaken
By jen | Friday, April 15, 2022
Loved this class and the music track that went with it- perfect speed of flow and number of poses- thank you
By Stephie | Friday, April 15, 2022
The music made it feel like an energetic class. If you want it to feel more peaceful, skip the music! Nice flow.
By Lisa | Friday, April 15, 2022
Love the class.. great for afternoon refresher..Music was great too...
By Ellie | Thursday, April 14, 2022
A really chill practice to energize and awaken
By Susan | Friday, February 11, 2022
This is one of my favorite classes. I just love Ali s style, and the music is inspiring! A nice gentle flow with stretching.
By Mariama | Wednesday, February 2, 2022
I was introduced to this class through the 2022 challenge and I really love that it is a calm flow but it takes you through some good poses. I will be practicing this regularly.
By kathyrb | Sunday, January 9, 2022
Good flow to the movements and breathing.
By Emily | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
I really loved this calming flow. I like how she incorporated breath work into slightly more difficult poses. I will definitely take this class again. The 2022 challenge has intro me to some wonderful new classes.
By ReginaKat | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Excellent cues, and a thoughtful supportive flow. Thank you for having the no music option as I tend to prefer a quiet practice.
By aminier | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Really enjoyed this practice. I generally like slower practices with a few breath between poses but this was a great pace and fun.
By KC White | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Ali s Copasetic Flow class was absolutely stunning. I loved every second! I honestly could have kept going with her as a guide, I felt so held and supported. The music was just perfect too. I can t wait to do this one again. Thank you!
By Kathy | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
This was a perfectly paced class for me today as I was feeling tired this morning. It was just the right amount of challenge. I chose to do the class with music and I really enjoyed it and felt it added to the practice. Ali s cues were great and her voice is so relaxing. Thank you!
By Dani | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Ali s calming instruction was great. Loved the visualization of wringing out the toxins! Great new years challenge day 4!
By Karen | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
A gentle and refreshing way to start your day. It was the perfect mix of guidance and silence, which gave me the time to center myself as I moved through the poses. Thank you!
By Sheri | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
I really enjoyed the slower pace of this practice -- it was a great start to my day. I am glad it was offered with/without music. I like the music of Sahale, but found it distracting during the class, so I was glad for the non-music option. Now that I am familiar with the flow of the class, I may try again with music. ;)
p.s. I chose this class from the New Year s challenge email.
By Vanessa | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Loved it as part of the New Year Challange. Shows that yoga can be gentle and still beneficial. Teaching me to breathe and start off with a calm mind and engerized body.
By Jill | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
Just what I needed this morning. I appreciate the option of music or no music. I chose music and it was a wonderful way to jump start me day. I will definitely look for more classes by Ali.
By Katie | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
WOW! Great class to open your heart and mind. Aliβs voice is beautiful and calming.
By Shelley | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
I truly enjoyed this class and the music. It helped to stretch out the sticky points in my body and the music was just right for keeping my body flowing.
By LOY | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
perfect way to start the day - waking up to breathing and great music - thank you!
By Diana T | Tuesday, January 4, 2022
This was perfect fir this morning. Loved everything about it but would not say adv. beginner. I think a beginner could do this one. I loved the flow of the poses and the focus on breathing. Really great!
By staceylynn | Friday, October 8, 2021
I did this class the day before my period is supposed to start. I felt out-of-sorts and full of body aches. This class soothed a lot of emotional edges and really eased the muscles along my spine and hips. Very helpful and peaceful.
By Cat | Thursday, August 12, 2021
Awesome class. Couldn t stop my body moving to the music though. Loved it!!!. Just what my body needed.
By Jess | Friday, July 9, 2021
By Leslie Forbes | Saturday, April 17, 2021
I did this in the evening with candles and it was medicine - just what I needed. Ali is a great teacher.
By KC White | Friday, April 16, 2021
Ali s class was such a breath of fresh air after ... not the best day. I didn t even want to get on my mat but I m so glad I did. It was everything I needed to deal with a case of the Mondays. Thank you so much, Ali!!
By Kris H | Friday, April 16, 2021
Happy unbirthday! This practice was like a gift to me today. The music, Aliβs gentle voice, the juicy stretches. Wow. Thank you.

just the class i needed to loosen mg stiff joints and muscles. left me feeling relaxed, rejuvinated and warm. the calm voice and quick, clear instructions make tis class easy to follow. all in all a wonderful class to either start your day or unwind. thank you.

Enjoyed this as my first flow of the yoga challenge. Great way to end my day before I go to bed. I feel so relaxed. :)
By Noname | Monday, April 12, 2021
Great calm flow. I generally don t like slower paced classes, but really enjoyed Ali s calm voice and constant movement of the practice. It kept me engaged, without giving my mind time to wander. I look forward to trying more of your classes.
By Ramona G | Monday, April 12, 2021
I really enjoyed this class. It was a great way to get back into yoga after being away for a few years. Thanks.

I thought this was a great class! I really enjoyed Ali s calm and soothing voice and her instruction was great. I also really enjoyed the music that accompanied it. I am going to check out your other classes!
By Margaret Wilson | Monday, April 12, 2021
Get instructions on when to inhale and when to exhale. Ali incorporates it so easily into the movements. I felt like the breathing came naturally.
By Stephanie | Monday, April 12, 2021
I enjoyed the flow and found it very relaxing. Just what I needed after a long day of taking on other peopleβs negative energy. I imagined breathing it out in the twists and I feel much more centered and positive. Thank you!!
By Candace Bishop | Monday, April 12, 2021
A beautiful gentle flow class. Left me feeling calm, relaxed and nicely stretched out. Loved the music!
By Melissa | Monday, April 12, 2021
Wonderful practice that helped me focus my mind to prepare for the remainder of my day

Lovely flow! I really enjoyed Ali.
By gladys | Monday, April 12, 2021
Very serene but awakening flow..Appreciated her very calm and timely cues.
By Sandy Covey | Monday, April 12, 2021
Well paced class where you practice flow and breathe in each sequence while you focus on your intention. Definitely added this class to my favorites and will add it to my practice as a must to declutter your mind. Highly recommended! Namaste! ??
By PaigeW | Monday, April 12, 2021
Nice class, slow gentle flow. Lovely teacher.
By Kate | Tuesday, April 6, 2021
Great way to start the day! Ali s voice is amazing - so beautiful, clear and calming. Nice gentle flow to wake up the body and stretch for the day.
By Nikki | Friday, March 12, 2021
This was the perfect class for a new moon- the perfect combination of moving your body and being still. Thank you!
By Logansar | Tuesday, March 9, 2021
Oh wow. What a wonderful, refreshing class! I have saved this to my favorites and will revisit again and again. Thank you!
By Leah | Friday, February 19, 2021
oh. my. I had never heard of you, Ali, until last night, and now i want to take all your classes. The pacing, the sequencing, the music transported me to a grounded brightness I would not have thought possible based on the mood I was in when I started. THANK YOU!
By Tobi | Wednesday, February 3, 2021
I love this gentle but energising flow. I have fibromyalgia and this class is achievable for me when fatigue and pain are bad. The music is uplifting.
By Abi | Monday, January 25, 2021
Her voice is so soothing! My new fav basic flow!
By ktb343 | Sunday, January 10, 2021
Wonderful soothing yet just-active-enough class. Thank you!
By Tinatin | Monday, December 21, 2020
I just loved her attitude, she is so calm and quiet, very kind and beautiful! Thank you dear Ali for you time and effort! Sending you love, Tina!
By ShelleyPDX | Wednesday, December 9, 2020
Perfect morning or evening flow. Clear instructions. Lovely pace.
By Suzanne | Monday, November 23, 2020
This hit me right where i needed it today. Thanks, nice pace and cues and music.
By chufflebean | Thursday, November 19, 2020
Of all the electronic music sessions I ve listened to so far, this was my favorite in terms of how the music was mixed with the instruction. Neither was too loud nor too soft. The flow was relatively slow and soothing, but the music was pretty upbeat, which afforded me the opportunity to dance my way through the poses, which I ve never done in yoga before! Enjoyable!
By Heather | Thursday, October 29, 2020
awesome class, perfect pace to relax and recenter
By Pam | Friday, October 16, 2020
By Geri | Friday, October 16, 2020
Another lovely flow Ali, thank you.
By XtineEley | Tuesday, October 6, 2020
Such a different flow! This is my second class with Ali. I really like her calm demeanor and soothing voice. Nice way to end my work day.
By #withDavida | Wednesday, September 30, 2020
Love this simple flow and connection to heart energy. This is one of my new favorite teachers. I also enjoyed the music so prominent and not just background sounds.
By Ann | Sunday, September 27, 2020
This was a very nice mid-day reset for me. Great direction and voice. Appreciated the option to do without music. Thanks!
By Alice | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Day 6 - Great class and instructor.
By Libby Bollino | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Easy flow, but invigorating! I love her voice and manner. I hope to take more classes from this instructor. I didn t think I would like it with the music, but I tried it and it was great!
By Monk1041 | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Very relaxing. Enjoyed class!
By Pam | Saturday, September 26, 2020
I enjoyed this class!
By Tiffany Harte | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Very nice class with Ali! It was definitely heart opening and got the energy flowing through the body. I really liked the warm ups she included before many of the postures. The seated cat/cow was also a nice change. Also, the music was energetic and opened the possibility to intensify the flow. Thanks Ali!
By SueAnne Suffolk | Saturday, September 26, 2020
A very short easy, gentle flow. Ali has a very soothing and calm vice, presence. I have enjoy this class, one offered with music, and one offered without.
By Audrey | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Very gentle nice class. I could listen to her voice all day, will definitely try more of Aliβs classes. Thank you!
By MonicaB | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Loved the class, the music & the instructor. It was seamless how she spoke us through the moves, gentle moves that did do an effective wake up of the body. Her voice & instructions were lovely. I really liked the music by Sahale also. My only suggestion is to have the music more background and not so loud. Maybe it s my age. . I could hear her clearly but the music was distracting. Can we see more of her classes, perhaps an hour long class?
By Andrea | Saturday, September 26, 2020
I enjoyed this class. Thanks Ali and welcome to YogaDownload, canβt wait to see more from you!
By YOYO | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Day 6 -- Such a nice soft voice and flow. I enjoyed this class.
By Peg | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Wonderful Day 6. I love Aliβs flow, have done it manyy times before the challenge. She is awesome!
By EE | Saturday, September 26, 2020
After shying away from Sahale s class since it was marked for adv beginner, I decided to go for it anyway for Day 6 of the 2 week challenge and I am so glad I did! This was a very relaxing and gentle flow, perfect to start or end the day with.
By LeeLee8081 | Saturday, September 26, 2020
Soothing way to start the day. Emphasis on breathing, slowly warming up muscles with slow stretches. Ali s instructions were clear and simple, her voice calm and encouraging. One of my favorite classes that would be appropriate any time of the day.
By Gregorio | Saturday, September 19, 2020
Very gentle class that is both energizing and calming. A warm room would be the ideal space to practice it.
By Ms_G | Tuesday, September 1, 2020
Lovely and accessible. A perfect class if you have joint pain or carpal tunnel--no weight bearing on the wrists. I appreciated Ali s calm demeanor and clear instruction. A wonderful way to start the day. Thank you!
By Mimi | Thursday, August 27, 2020
How wonderful! This has entered into my regular stable of yoga practices. Love! Hoping for a 45 minute and 1 hour version. . .please?! On shanti
By ktb343 | Sunday, August 23, 2020
Great class! Perfect flow for an evening when I hadn t done much during the day and wanted something a bit active. Great combo of music and instructor, I will definitely return to this class again.
By Yoginewbi | Friday, August 21, 2020
I loved everything about this class ~ your presence, the message, the pace, the flow (my shoulders and wrist especially thank you here), your cues and the music. I hope to be able to soon choose from more of your offerings here at yoga download. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Much peace and joy.
By woods1760 | Wednesday, August 19, 2020
I love your class and your beautiful voice. I think it is a good idea to switch sides with the legs sitting on the floor to be sure I get the stretch on both sides. Overall perfect. Please post MORE classes that you lead.
By Homeschoolmom2 | Wednesday, August 19, 2020
WOW! This was absolutely incredible. Beautiful flow. Thank you so much. I hope to see more of this instructor soon!
By Yogageek | Friday, August 14, 2020
Thank you for this lovely class Ali! The pacing was just right. Ali s instructions were clear and her voice soothing. This gentle 30-minute flow was just what I wanted this afternoon!
By kschlenz | Saturday, August 8, 2020
This was exactly what I needed! Thank you Ali! The cues, pacing, and music were awesome! Will def visit this class again ;)
By Stephie | Thursday, August 6, 2020
This one should actually say without music...but overall very nice class. Ali s voice is very soothing and her directions are clear and easy to follow. I hope to see more classes from her!
By CheriD | Wednesday, August 5, 2020
This was lovely...but I did not hear one note of music...??? It was just the instructor s voice. In the preview, I heard music, but not the class.
???
By littleums | Saturday, August 1, 2020
I have been a member of YogaDownload for over a decade now, and yet I still feel this is one of the best I have done! Everything about this class works together: the music, the vibe, the moves....everything. I know some people don t like music in their classes, but I can t think of a more perfect example of how it all just works together. More of Ali, please! She s got the energy and the instruction that we need, now more than ever! So chill, yet still energetic enough to make you feel empowered. Absolutely love it.
By Rachel | Friday, July 31, 2020
Wonderful class! After taking a several weeks-long break from yoga, Ali s class was a warm, welcoming hug back. I feel looser, clearer, and more energized. Thank you, Ali!
By Leslie Barile | Wednesday, July 29, 2020
Wow, loved this energetically flowing class! More classes please Ali!
By Shannon | Wednesday, July 29, 2020
Ahhhhhmazing class!! Looking forward to more from Ali!
By dawnk | Wednesday, July 29, 2020
Lovely class! Absolutely one of my favorites! Gentle and felt so good! Thank you!
By Michelle | Tuesday, July 28, 2020
Loved the class and the music!
By Meganengbring | Sunday, July 26, 2020
Yes please!!! I usually do yoga at Essenem in Flagstaff AZ with music!!! I would love to have more classes like this and with this instructor. Bring it!
By Eve | Friday, July 24, 2020
Great class.
By Kelly | Friday, July 24, 2020
Great energizing morning flow.
By abenson | Thursday, July 23, 2020
What a lovely accessible class from a fantastic new teacher on yogadownload. Look forward to more! Love the new music!!!
By ksole | Wednesday, July 22, 2020
I loved the unique flow and Ali s soothing spirit. Like some other users who ve posted here, the music was a bit loud and overshadowed the energy of the class for me. More Ali, less (or madre calming) music please!
By Becky | Tuesday, July 21, 2020
Great practice! Will do again.
By Andrea | Tuesday, July 21, 2020
Love Ali s calm nature. Cues were great and I appreciated the flow without chatarangas. Sometimes my wrists need a break. I usually listen to calmer music while practicing esp at the beginning and end so this was a little intense for me but a fun change of pace. More from Ali please!! :)
By Kinter | Tuesday, July 21, 2020
What a wonderful, gentle, and sweet way to start off my day. Just what my body needed. I want to also note that it is AMAZING to have another woman of color on YD. Having people who look like me makes me feel welcomed and reflected in this digital space.
By pammy | Monday, July 20, 2020
A warm welcome to Ali! This class felt very nourishing at the end of a workday. Good vibes all around, mcuh gratitude. Namaste
By Lisa | Monday, July 20, 2020
Love Ali and this wonderful music!!! A great, relaxing class to unwind and be at peace with your mind and body... Thank you Ali.

By Derrick Barry | Sunday, July 19, 2020
Loved it! Made me feel great. I really love the music and setting and enjoyed Ali s energy. She s easy to follow along, nice to listen to and there were some new variations for me in this one. Thank you! More classes with music like this please!
By vanraap1 | Sunday, July 19, 2020
Omg amazing music and great class. Was so connected the entire time. Not sure about advanced beginner but maybe more beginner. Still great. Nice and relaxing flow
By Jo | Sunday, July 19, 2020
Did it w the music, very energizing. Gentle flow, felt very good and stretched out after. Hope to see more from Ali.
By Jo | Sunday, July 19, 2020
Happy to see Ali joining YogaDownload. Looking forward to more classes with her.
Good idea to give us the option to go with or without music! I wish all classes had that option. It would make it a lot easier if the classes were labeled as such, though: perhaps w/ vs. w/out on the title?
By Nancet | Sunday, July 19, 2020
Great class - I love the slower classes and the music helps me stay in the moment!
By Kim | Sunday, July 19, 2020
thank you so much for such a refreshing take on yoga with beat-keeping music and feel-good flow! Enjoyed 100% of this class.
By Eve | Sunday, July 19, 2020
Lovely flow, amazing class! Namaste!
By Cat | Saturday, July 18, 2020
Ali is a fantastic teacher! I look forward to seeing more from her. This class was something different for me; I normally prefer a more active vinyasa or a full-out yin. This was sort of an active awareness class, with mainly gentle movements and focus on breath. Ali made it approachable and fun. Music was cool and I enjoyed it; personally I think it helped make the class more interesting during the slow basic movements because it let me kind of zone out. Thanks Ali!
By Alyssa | Saturday, July 18, 2020
This class is just what I needed. Enough movement to be grateful for what my body can do but calming enough to ease me through feeling overwhelmed (as I do today). Very much looking forward to future classes with Ali!
Also -- I enjoyed the music. It was a little too loud but I could still hear the cues just fine.
By karen donaldson | Saturday, July 18, 2020
Loved the class, the flow, Ali s calming voice. The real work was only about 20 minutes, so I do hope we see some longer and more intense classes from Ali. Now for the negative. I liked the music but it was way too loud. It was distracting from the calmness exuded by the instructor. Even in savasana; it should have at least slowed down at that point. I couldn t relax. I tried to stop and reconnect without the music but there was a glitch with the site which may have been a temporary issue, so I ll not discount the star rating.
By Peg | Friday, July 17, 2020
nice gentle but interesting class. Ali has a very soothing energy. loved the music!
By April | Friday, July 17, 2020
Really enjoyed this class and the music. Looking forward to more from Ali!
By Chocoholic | Friday, July 17, 2020
Very gentle and pleasant flow. I wanted a gentle Hathaway class without chatarangas, this was beautiful
By Sabira | Friday, July 17, 2020
I rarely write reviews. But this class was awesome. Usually I don t like instrumental or rhythmic music during yoga classes. However the Sahale music was a perfect combination with a slow flow and the instructor s voice. It was an amazing feeling. Thank you!!
By Anita | Thursday, July 16, 2020
Enjoyed the gentle flow, the instructor s pleasant style and the music (a touch too loud, though).
By Christina | Thursday, July 16, 2020
I guess I m a weirdo, but I found the music to be VERY distracting with such a lovely, mellow flow. I switched to the no-music flow 3 minutes and 28 seconds into it, haha. My sole complaint is that the music audio (including the instructors cues) were much louder/easier to hear in the music version vs. the non-music version.
The new instructor (Ali -- hello!) is LOVELY, which is why I gave 5 stars anyway. I needed something very soft and gentle again today, and this certainly fit the bill!
I can t wait for more! I d love to see a quicker, more vigorous flow in the future. Not to say Hatha doesn t have its place, but I love sweat making vinyasas too. :)
By salemhouse | Thursday, July 16, 2020
So energizing for a morning practice! Loved the music, pacing, instructions, everything was great.
By Esmart06 | Thursday, July 16, 2020
Absolutely loved this class!! Such a nice, relaxing flow to end the day with!! And I loved the music!!! Already checked out the artist on Soundcloud!!! Thank you!!!
By Lio | Thursday, July 16, 2020
Ali really helped me feel centered again
By Kristie | Wednesday, July 15, 2020
This is a lovely gentle flow. The instructor has a wonderfully calm voice with excellent cues. I really enjoyed the music because I found it to enhance the calming experience. I look forward to more classes with Ali.
