    This was the juiciest class I have in quite some time! 😂 Can I tell you a secret Charlie? I slow down the speed of the video since I like to linger into the poses longer. Your classes have made my body more flexible and stronger! Thank you so much Charlie fir being such an amazing teacher! ❤

    • @mwallontherun
      @mwallontherun 11 месяцев назад +7

      I slow down most all exercise videos in every category to 85 percent. It’s helped me tremendously to not be all herky jerky. I think it’s great of you to mention it 👍

    • @paulinec8842
      @paulinec8842 11 месяцев назад

      Same here :) I slow down between 0.85 to 0.9 x.... allows even greater enjoyment. Great hack to share for sure! @@mwallontherun

      Oh I love this idea. Sometimes I like to keep it moving but some days my back doesn't want to go the same speed as Charlie lol. I need more time to transition between poses. I keep forgetting this option. Charlie you have definitely improved my yoga game. I am forever grateful to you for all the time and thought you put into creating these videos. Thank you 🙏

    That was beyond amazing, Charlie! I was able to accomplish the mermaid pose for the first time today, and it was all thanks to your gentle and wonderful guidance ❤ The body scan at the end of class was the cherry on top ❤ Thank you so much and many warm wishes!

    Thank you. I'm 55 and had a 15 year daily devoted yoga practice, 10+ years ago. While I"ve continued to practice from time to time over the past decade, the more intermediate/advanced stuff fell away. In 5 days I'm back 'in', including Bird of Paradise, and I am grateful to YOU and YOUR classes for this.

  • @agnespinzon8795
    @agnespinzon8795 11 месяцев назад

    A "counter-twist" class for me after a grueling training weekend of rides and runs. 😊 This full sequence made me aware of how tight my back is because I'm locked into an upright position when running or riding my bike. Needless to say that backends have always been challenging and something I do not enjoy 😅. Backbends bring out my inner wimp 😂 and i whimper in the pillow we make with our hands when we release each time. But, that is an edge I willingly go to each time backends are cued because I believe in my body's capacity to learn and get better with time and practice. Thank you for this class Charlie. 🙏 ❤ The body scan at the end felt nourishing as it allowed me to be keenly aware of how each part of my body received so much today. Your classes are so put together Charlie and I know you give much preparation and effort into each one. So thank you for sharing your gifts and your beautiful intention of bringing each and every class to so many of us who benefit from it. Be blessed in turn. 🙌

  • @paulinec8842
    @paulinec8842 11 месяцев назад +1

    Loved this flow sequence - challenging yet relaxing.
    It allowed me to drop a lot on the mat emotionally, which was a good release.
    Especially liked: side twists, working towards bow and extended meditation-shavasana (and Wild Thing as always 😊 ).
    It was my first time trying Mermaid - managed to get into her on the right side but not the left.
    Something to work towards...will come back to this session on days that I feel strong.
    Thank you for your work and vibe :)

    • @rusb23
      @rusb23 11 месяцев назад +1

      Same! Mermaid felt ultra wobbly, and I fell every time I tried to lift my arm! I think it has to do with hip flexor tightness and maybe not activating the quadratus on the side of the bound foot? Definitely going to put this class on repeat! 🔥🔥🔥

    • @hayleyv7890
      @hayleyv7890 11 месяцев назад

      One side was a bit better, but as soon as I was able to place my foot in the elbow and wanted to bind, I just felt on the side like a bug, unable to move 😂

    Hello Charlie. I wanted to start my week with a backbend and this class just came at the right time. The small creative moves that you incorporate in every pose is very well appreciated. Thank you for adding meditation at the end of the class; it helped me relax and calm. There is no better way to start a week than listening to your voice and moving with you. Thank you for your positive energy. ❤❤
