    Thank you, I loved this class. I used to take your classes at YogaTree a lifetime ago when I lived in SF. Now I'm in Oakland and have a 2 year-old. It's so great to be able to practice at home while he's napping, and with a teacher whom I love. It's a real treat, thanks again.

    I do this class often, even when I'm not stressed. It is so soothing...a perfect combination of effort and ease! I love how during half moon you had us touch our heart and "coax" it up towards the sky! It helped me twist further toward the sky and I had an amazing opening. Thank you so much!
    • stephanie snyder     Nov 21st, 2012

  • Jeremy Pope     Jul 9th, 2012
    Lovely class, Stephanie. I just took it and feel great.

    One thing: I believe you skipped janushirasana on the right side. I caught it and did it anyway.

    Just a heads up :-)
    • nancy bernstein     Dec 27th, 2012
      yup...just made a note for myself for next time!
    • stephanie snyder     Jul 9th, 2012

    Thanks Stephanie - been manic the last few weeks. Have a long flight from London to Toronto tomorrow so need to chill a little. Namaste x

    Thanks Stephanie - this was exactly what I needed after a hectic weekend! And a lovely quote at the end.
  • Amanda Taylor     Jun 18th, 2012
    Love this class. Thank you!
  • Shona Andrew     Jun 15th, 2012
    Lovely class, but I can't grab my foot in the thigh stretches, can you give a modification? Thank you
    • stephanie snyder     Jun 17th, 2012
      Hi Shona-You can either just stay in low lunge which over time will open your quads and hip flexors enough to allow the foot grab or you can put both hands down inside the front foot then reach back with one hand to grab the back foot- this would be the modification. But really just the low lunge itself will do the work you probably need right now :)
  • Inga Velikanova     Jun 15th, 2012
    Used this practice in morning to face chalenges of the day!great class,thank you!
  • Laurie Delgado     Jun 13th, 2012
    That was beautiful and very helpful. Namaste
  • Kaity Kaity     Jun 11th, 2012
    Stephanie you're my favorite teacher on this site. Your classes are so clear, and your class presence is so grounded and practical. Nothing extra and it's just fantastic.I wonder about the poses where the knee supports the body, and one foot gets raised? They are so painful, even with blankets under the knee. Is that pain an indication of tender knees? Any ideas on how to care for and gradually strengthen tender knees? Thanks Stephanie! Kaity, Brooklyn, NY
    • stephanie snyder     Jul 9th, 2012
      Hi Kaity! Which pose hurts? Lets take care of those knees- If its pigeon grabbing back foot, I would rock the body forward more so the weight rests on the thigh muscles more so than on the knee. Let me know and thank you for your lovely feedback.
  • Candice Ho     Jun 10th, 2012
    Loved this class. Great for my tight hi
    • Candice Ho     Jun 10th, 2012
      Oops- ....tight hips, from stress, lack of sleep, also a great post run class. (especially a difficult one around Twin Peaks! This class still incorporates strength and also able to go to bed right after. Thanks Steph! Talk about yin and yang.

    “Turn your gaze in towards your heart and honour this place inside you in which the entire universe dwells. It is a place of peace, of love, of joy and of truth. And when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are one. ”Just in case anyone wanted to share this beautiful quote.Thank you, Stephanie.
    • stephanie snyder     Jul 9th, 2012
