Been LOVING your channel recently! It’s made me super consistent with yoga. You’re super calming & challenging all at the same time. Thank you for what you do!
Been working through the “20 minute classes” list for a while and kept avoiding this one as the title scared me! Finally did it today and just loved it! Was able to do more than I expected and used a strap to help! Thanks for a great class!
Just wanted to share how hard it is to find a 20-minute hatha-adjacent flow that really gets into the muscles and joints, without spending too much time in the pose. And on top of that, to not have vocal music in the background competing with your voice, but instead using the sounds of nature to enhance the meditative effect... 10/10.
You're amazing Charlie, this flow was perfect short but so effective. Thank you so much Charlie, you make me consistent with yoga even when I don't have the energi for practice.
Thank you so much for the video, Charlie! I happen to be a yoga instructor myself but I always come back to your videos just to hear a voice walking me through poses and keeping me company:) great lesson - as always:)
Super strong flow Charlie thank you. Twisted crow eluded me and some if the bslances were a bit wobbly, but I really enjoyed the strength required to achieve the poses. 😊 🙏. The setting in the wood was so lovely with the birds in the background. 😊
Thank you for listening to those of us requesting another strength-based flow! Always love taking on side crow. I echo someone else who asked for longer versions of this type of class - maybe broken into three separate flows that intensify and build to a final super strong pose or longer hold. Thank you again, Charlie! Your delivery, voice, settings and direction are so lovely and helpful. Keep ‘em coming! 🤍🧘🏼♀️
Thank you so much, I remember you asked for a class like this along with many others so I’m happy you enjoyed it and will definitely be doing another longer version.
30/10/23 It was a well coordinated strong yoga flow this morning. I practice the one legged chaturanga with ease unlike before. I'm good in standing balances but still working on arm balances 😅. Thanks Charlie for your effort and work in this routine. Namaste ❤🙋🏽🤗✌🏾
Hi Charlie, I’m so excited for you as your channel continues to grow. You deserve it! Your consistent hard work and dedication are admirable. I wasn’t sure how you would fit everything that you promised at the start in such a short period of time but you did and it was marvellous. Standing poses, balance, strength, twists, even side crow. Everything came together intelligently and I appreciated the cue to do ankle rotations in three legged dog with open hip. That was an atypical cue that really makes you unique.
Charlie I love you classes so much! I had previously been taking yoga with Adrienne classes and they are still beautiful but I am finding that your classes really challenge me! My yoga has improved heaps! Thank you 😊
Yes! Strong flows are welcomed 🙏🏻. I really enjoyed this one, especially the lead up to side crow. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your practice. Hope you are having an amazing day 🧘♂️
I really love all your classes, but especially the older ones recorded with the old microphone in the english countryside or at the beach because of the soothing sounds of nature! Very speciall! Thank you for what you give me and many,many others!
Love these practices, but it's the natural setting and bird sounds that truly draw me to this channel, it's so much more calming. This forest looks like the Shire 🙂
As someone who has recently moved from beginner practice I found this intermediate class really challenging. Although, also, enjoyable . Thank you Charlie x
That little twist in pigeon was exactly what I needed this morning. I really appreciate when you add different little things. I'm so GRATEFUL for your passion to share yoga ❤ You are AWESOMESAUCE!!!
Thank you so much for saying! I really to find ways to explore postures that add to the experience and I'm so grateful that you appreciate the little extras 🙏
I haven’t done this one since it came out! It is a great one! I must not remember spinning learning to do this new Charlie stuff. I was so proud of side crow! Today I touched fingers on the second bind in high lunge and fold - finger PRINTS not JUST the tips. Yeah! I sure do celebrate a cm or 2 On the binds. My shoulders are stiff and uneven. One used to be almost up to my jaw.
Thank you very much Charlie!!! This felt really good and generally I enjoy your videos!!! Your simplicity and calmness along with the innovative flows, whichever level of difficulty, is a wonderful combination for delivering great content!!! I love your channel and am very grateful for finding it in my way!!! Keep on!!!!🥰💖💪🙏
I LOVE the pace of this and other videos of yours. It gives me time to properly try the harder poses and focus on form all the way through. Thank you 🙏🏻 😊
Thank you so much for your feedback ☺️ I know I teach slowly, even when I'm trying to go fast I'm still slow, and I know that won't be for everyone but I'm so happy its working well for you 🙏
Tried this today. Feeling absolutely sweaty. I've lost my balance many a times, need to practice more, but am surely feeling more calm and resolved after this flow.
Thanks for trying to implement our requests and this great challenging flow. Balancing poses is always a struggle for me, before Yoga, I didn't even know that a body's left side can be so different from the right. It's a nice flow to return to, even if you are not an intermediate in all the poses. You do a fantastic job, thank you.
It's my pleasure 😊 there are a lot of requests but I'm trying to fulfil them all. Happy to read that you are discovering new things about your body through the practice. Thank you for joining me 🙏
I enjoyed that, and just swapped in regular crow where needed. As I can only inconsistently get into regular crow right now, I appreciate an opportunity to practise it. I really do like all your nature settings.
Ive been following along with you for a while and me and my three year old loved this one!! My first ever successful arm balance, thank you charlie! -Sepha and Tuck
Just one other of your many fantastic classes. I first found you on April 15 (I keep a Yoga diary), and since you have become my goto Yoga teacher. A huge Thank You for all the work you do for us followers. ❤❤❤
Thank you, although the exercise was a bit too tough for me, I really enjoyed how far I could come. The setting in the bush with sunlight and birds sounds was super 🙏
Morning, what a lovely practice and beautiful setting, the bird song background music. I've recently lost some weight and muscle tone too as im menopausal (56yrs old) im struggling with strength in my arms and core. So have tended to stick to beginners for a few years now. You give me the confidence to step out of my confidence zone despite my practice being interupted by wiggles, wobbles and giggles...i realise this is the only way to progress. Thankyou Charlie ❤ have a great day xx
Came back to it and i can't thank you enough, my side crow is getting way better with this sequence... even though i used to do side crow before but it feels way better with the sequence! Thank youu🎉❤
I lovw these short but challenging units, they fit into everyday, and you get flexible and fit nonetheless, I've tried a lot but you're my favourite you tube yoga teacher.
This was a wonderful practice for my Sunday afternoon! Calming but challenging. I've never tried side crow before and discovered that I'm stronger than I thought I was. Thank you for all you do. 💕
Hi Charlie! I've only ever commented once before. I feel like strange about it. I had to comment today. This is one of my favorite videos you've ever posted. I can't express in words how much I enjoyed this. I come to your channel every night to practice! This really gave me some much needed peace in a very difficult time. Thanks for being here always. It means the world to me. You are a gem. ❤
Thank you so much for commenting again, I know it can feel weird but I really appreciate every comment so please know how much it means 🙏 so happy you enjoyed this class, thank you for your time and energy
There are a few poses I couldn’t quite do fully like the side crow or twisted toe stand. And I kept falling out of the bend over the one lifted leg! I’m looking forward to keeping on practicing and becoming stronger and more balanced and aware. Thank you so much for your video! Your suggestions on how to do lunges correctly in another video(or short) has helped me tremendously! I really appreciate it the lower level classes to help me build and the more advanced ones to challenge myself. Appreciate your work!
I loved this practice.. It was challenging and I’m feeling it in my whole body today…sore in places where I’ve never felt sore before 🤔😁 All good though. I feel strong and grateful for what my body can do 🙏🏽 I’m no spring chicken but I’ve proven to myself that age doesn’t matter 💪 Heartfelt thanks for your teachings ❤️
Challenging flow. Kept myself not to quit and try and adapt what fits for me. Have never tried crow and couldn't lift my feet off the floor. Will try to learn more. Thank you for a strong practice ❤
After many requests for a strong/powerful flow here you go 😊 I hope you enjoy it
U do a amazing job dear
0:04 thank you 🙏
Good Yoga is so beautiful. I am a rank beginner, but I never give up.
Saved this one - wanna come back many times

All I popped was Unholy Water
I caught a sort of fired up order
Medicine the Veteran
I Set the trend that end
I recommend Internal Chinese Martial Arts
So you could learn to screw into the Earth
Circulate Chi Relax and be Happy!
Been LOVING your channel recently! It’s made me super consistent with yoga. You’re super calming & challenging all at the same time. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much I’m so happy my channel is helping to challenge you and keep you consistent
That setting is magical! And holy how does she talk through these very hard poses and holds without needing a break
Thank you 🙏 it took a lot of practice to be able to hold poses and be able to talk ah the same time
@@CharlieFollows Impressive!
@@CharlieFollowsthat's what I also find really motivating, that short with your mistakes and then to see where you are now is unbelievable.

This is how I learned I am not intermediate level yet lol. I loved the creative transitions and the challenge!
Super strong flow Charlie thank you. Twisted crow eluded me and some if the bslances were a bit wobbly, but I really enjoyed the strength required to achieve the poses. 😊 🙏. The setting in the wood was so lovely with the birds in the background. 😊
Loved the bird sounds! Loved the variety! Thank you!
I enjoyed this quick but challenging session. We need more of these. Thank you.
Thank you and noted ☺️ more coming soon
What a beautiful practice, strong, slow, focusing on the breathing and the sound of the birds singing in that inspiring forest. Many thanks.
Thank you for practicing with me and for your kind comment 🙏

Challenging flow. Kept myself not to quit and try and adapt what fits for me. Have never tried crow and couldn't lift my feet off the floor. Will try to learn more. Thank you for a strong practice ❤
