    Thanks so much for this great class Kathryn. It doesn't take crazy complicated poses for my husband and I to get A LOT of opening and release. Thank you for the simple, but powerful class. Our son tried it alongside us :-)

    I didn't have any issues with streaming. This class was awesome after too much shoveling made my back really tight. I also have super tight hips, so I'll be returning to some of the poses here as I work on that. Thanks!

    Excellent lower back class.... this class is amazing until the video stops working 21 minutes in. Please fix this one.

    THANK YOU for this practice. I did it together with my husband and he was finally able to begin to feel some improvement in his lower back pain. Life saver!! So thankful.

    total back fixer for me- my back loves it! Guess it depends what kind of back issues you have but this one was perfect for me- thanks kathryn

    would NOT advise people with back pain to do this.. not enough stretching and she is a fast talker!!! relax!

    This class was so relaxing and nice. I did your and Tiffany's backbend workshop yesterday, so I wanted to take it a little easy today, and this was PERFECT! Thank you so much! Much love. xoxo

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! My lower back has been giving me fits. This was so helpful. I will be rolling out of the bed onto the floor for this in the foreseeable future.
  • Lindsay Green     Mar 5th, 2012
    thank you Kathryn. I must remember to do this every day like you suggested. I let too
    much time go between classes and am pretty stiff.
  • Laurence Henry     Jan 25th, 2012
    Realy cool class. Hard but feels great afterwards. Thanks!
  • Nathan Romano     Jan 7th, 2012
    That is a good class for hip opening biut if you are currently in lower back pain as I am There are other classes listed here I would recommend first. Otherwise a great class, as always.
  • Sarah Gaede     Dec 16th, 2011
    Great class!
  • Friederike Muttray     Sep 12th, 2011
    That was great - I am excited and hopeful!
  • Lauren Johanson     Aug 18th, 2011
    This was exactly what I needed. I woke up with low back and sciatic pain and so wanted to do a light yoga to help release the tension, not doing anything that would further aggravate it. This was it! I almost didn't do the class because it was labeled as a vinyasa flow and I though it would be too quick-moving. Am I misunderstanding what vinyasa flow generally means?
  • Anne Jones     Jul 2nd, 2011
    I keep coming back to this practice again & again when my low back is aching or my hamstrings & this class is always exactly what I needed. Thank you.
  • spin gypsy      Apr 23rd, 2011
    This was an amazing way to start off the day. Thank you, Kathryn. Peace.

    just what i needed, thank you.
  • Laura Krueger     Feb 22nd, 2011
    Wow. All that tension. Feel much better now. Great practice.
  • Juliánna Nagy     Feb 2nd, 2011
    feeling rather 'tamasic' today (what with the tons of snow we got the past two days), and this was the purrrrrrfect end to my day (happy hips and hamstrings always mean a happy mind in my books), so thank you, Kathryn. love and pranams.
  • katya kupor     Jan 24th, 2011
    thank you, my lower back feels so much better! great practice...
  • Kathryn Budig     Jan 20th, 2011

  • Rebekah Ford     Jan 17th, 2011
    This felt so good after all day at a desk. *happy sigh*
  • Anne Jones     Jan 15th, 2011
    Ahh Kathryn I had a long day of teaching yoga myself and this was the perfect way to rock me to sleep. Thank you!
  • Katie Serbus     Jan 14th, 2011
    Lovely opening for my runner's hips. My cat seemed to think my forehead needed grooming during the reclined big to series though! Thank You, Kathryn.
