    Thank you Steven. I am somewhat of a beginner and have arthritis.You have a gift for giving helpful and gentle guidance for a very soothing practice.

      Hi Linda. Thank you for your kind words. I am so happy the class felt good for you. I have many students with arthritis so I know how painful and difficult that can be. Keep up the great work! Steven.

    This is the perfect evening wind down yoga sequence. Each time I do it - even if I'm not focused, my mind still full of the worries of the day, I feel so refreshed and relaxed afterwards.
    So thank you Steven for this wonderful, sweet class, it works so well on me!
    Namaste

    I'm normally a vinyasa fan but decided to give this a try because I had not done many seated postures for a while. This was wonderful and reminds me how rich yoga is and how very different practices can each tap deeply within us. Thank you!

      You are welcome, Lori! That's awesome! So glad the class helped balance out your workout. Keep up the great work! Steven.
  • Jieun Kang     Jun 3rd, 2012
    Thank you Steven! I loved your clear explanation of each pose along with breathing, which I tend to forget easily. A quick question: Should I try to maintain the gentle "in and up" of my lower back when I'm in the happy baby pose or let go of it and massage my lower back instead?
    • Steven Espinosa     Jun 4th, 2012
      Hello Jieun! You are very welcome! It makes me happy to know you are enjoying moving and breathing! In Happy Baby it's okay to do both actions. Sometimes it feels good to bring the lower back down to the ground and get a nice, long lower lumbar spin stretch. And if you let go of it and curve your lower back off the floor it will feel like you are giving your inner hip sockets a massage! So both ways are fine! Great question! Hope it helps. Steven.
      • Jieun Kang     Jun 5th, 2012
        I got it. Thanks a lot Steven! Looking forward to your other classes.
