    Haven't been able to make your community class recently in Paris, so was grateful to dip into your beautiful lesson here this morning. Thank you Marc.

    Don't know if this went through, so if it did, apologies for sending it a second time. Just want to say thanks -- wonderful way to start the day!

    Thanks so much, Marc, for such a lovely class to start the afternoon! (I have trouble doing a.m. yoga as I'm just sooooo stiff and seriously 1/2 asleep for a few hrs. ) That was my first yogaglo class with you, and I look forward to many more. You've got a wonderful, sweet teaching style! Namaste!
    • Marc Holzman     Apr 11th, 2013

    My first yogaglo class and I loved it... Never do handstands in the morning, but feel really alive right now... Namaste :-0
    • Marc Holzman     Apr 11th, 2013
      honored to be the first priti! thank you.
  • Melissa Watkins     Jan 13th, 2013
    Thanks! I'm new to YogaGlo but not Anusara Yoga. I have a WONDERFUL Anusara Inspired teacher here and most classes just don't meausure up to his. Your class made me smile as I felt like I was getting a truly great Anusara class. I'll be checking out your other classes in the coming days.
    • Marc Holzman     Apr 11th, 2013

    Thank you Marc! We are in Costa Rica teaching a children's YTT and I've been grateful for this 45 minute meditative energizer each morning for the last few days...BLESSINGS!
  • Julie Brooks     Jul 27th, 2012
    Wow, you are a beautiful human being! I love this class. My favorite part is going from side plank to wild thing--I'd never done that before and it allowed me to open up in a true Wild Thing. It felt great. Thank you.
    • Marc Holzman     Apr 11th, 2013
      julie a million thank yous for that comment. :-)
  • Casey Holt     Jun 21st, 2012
    Like it a lot! I'm new to yogaglo, but not yoga, and this was my first class! I find it very difficult to get into the handstand and I stayed in downward dog while you went through it. Any advice or tips for beginner handstanding? Thanks!
    • Marc Holzman     Jun 21st, 2012
      hi casey. you are a trooper for staying in downdog during the handstand. if you can keep your arms straight and soften your upper back in downdog than you are ready to kick up. if you feel your arms are not strong enough, than L-Pose at the wall is a great place to build strength (and confidence). If it's only a matter of fear (understandably), go to the wall, put place your hands a few inches from the wall in down dog, step one foot halfway forward and lift the back leg high. and then do baby kicks. just learning to kick 1/4 of the way up is perfect. Do this several time until your kick gets a little higher. Maybe it's time for me to do a handstand tutorial :-) Trust in your strength!
  • Marc Holzman     May 17th, 2012

    Better than a cup of coffee! I really enjoyed starting my day with this practice.
  • Donna Seed     Mar 19th, 2012
    This is a great morning practice....thanks Marc! You are an exceptional teachet.
  • Marc Holzman     Mar 17th, 2012
    thanks rebecca and to all whom have written. i think that's a wonderful alternative. good for you for being creative. i do think it's nice to go upside down for a short short time to push through the sleepy energy that the body inhabits at that hour. it's tough without a wall. but the updog to bridge is great. merci!
  • Rebecca Haugh     Mar 17th, 2012
    Wonderful depth in the slowness... I found openings just with the different variety of move to move. I did need a little help though - I don't have a wall, so was unable to do the handstand. Instead, I did upward dog from and back to bridge. Not sure if it is the same effect but it was the only substitution I could think of. Any thoughts?
  • Julia ingersoll     Mar 12th, 2012
    I appreciate the quiet of this practice-- Thank you. It's just-enough!

  • Lisa Koester     Mar 1st, 2012
    I used to think these 45 min practices were cheating, but honestly by the time I drive to the studio, park, chat, and then 30-40f the class is filler and chit chat, I'm grateful for these mid week.
  • Lisa Koester     Mar 1st, 2012
    Joy !

    Thank you Marc,
    A perfect practice for a person recovering from costochondritis. Practice gave me time to breathe and slow down yet maintaining integrity of the asanas. I am deeply grateful.
  • Ronni Hendel     Nov 9th, 2011
    Thank-you Marc and Yogaglo! I am travelling, jet-lagged, and only had 45 minutes. This class was the perfect way to move into my day and will be a favorite when time is limited. So much in so little time without ever feelinf rushed!
