Description
This class is about embracing your humanness by loving your imperfections with a focus on the lats. We'll look at lengthening & strengthening the lats as well as the chest opening function of the lats. You guessed it that means backbends & arm balances. Start it off with some strong standing poses followed by some big chest openers leading into full pigeon variation and a scorpion variation. Enjoy!

- Izarra Varela Mar 18th, 2013The great Tiffany does it again! Definitely one of the most humbling classes I've taken in a while (lookin' at you, upper back and hamstrings... oof!) so I guess you could say the "humility" theme rang a bit louder than usual for me. Still, it's all love. I needed this in the best way. Thanks. :)
- Tiffany Cruikshank Mar 20th, 2013Thanks Izarra, so sweet. I'm glad you enjoyed it! ;)
- Gloriana Mejia Feb 25th, 2013This class made my day. It was so helpful to improve my back bends like you have no idea. And it is not about the posture I could achieve, but the sensations after them. I could honestly feel that I am not my physical body, I could note how I was detached from it. Like touching heaven with my hands. Thank you so much Tiffany.
- Tiffany Cruikshank Feb 26th, 2013Fantastic, great to hear Gloriana, so glad it was helpful for you!! :)

- Nadia Rqm Dec 23rd, 2012thanks tiffany. I admit I have a fixation with upper body workout - I have been nursing sore infraspinatus and teres minor for a while now and always look into moves that could heal and strengthen my shoulders. This is a great class that left my core shaking and upper body trembling post workout. Love your energy! And that dolphin push up flow made me yelp out loud at one point haha
- Tiffany Cruikshank Jan 28th, 2013Thank Nadia, glad it was helpful! :)

The amount of knowledge you share is phenomenal and oh so appreciated!!! thank you for shedding so much light our way..you have helped my practice and my teaching immensely! love that you are human -although you sure the heck don't always seem human - you appear so dang calm, cool and collected...some day I shall move that way too. keep happiness in your heart - THANK YOU!
- Tiffany Cruikshank Aug 1st, 2012Thanks Leigh Ann, missing the Kansas yogis, send my best to everyone. xoxo
- Stephanie Dufort Jun 12th, 2012Thank you, Tiffany! This class was really awesome! My lower back is hyperlordotic and so I tend to send all the backbends to this area which often makes medread backbends, as they are not so comfortable. The focus on sending the opening to the shoulders made all the difference for me. Definitely a class I will come back to again! On another note, your classes and sequencing have been really inspirational for me as a teacher. I love the innovative variations you do (eg. Hands interlaced in reverse warrior) and help to remind me to play around with poses to adapt them to a class theme! Thank you :-)
- Tiffany Cruikshank Aug 1st, 2012Thanks Stephanie, great to have you on here. ;)
- Biffy Cotter Jun 12th, 2012I tried to watch your class, I am getting a bad reception and the sound is full of static, any suggestions?
- Waylon Wade Jun 12th, 2012This was a great class. It had everything I want in a class. I must admit I had to take a couple extra child poses, but I am good with that.
