Awesome!!! Just what I needed in this moment ~*~

So good. I couldn’t have chose better for how I’m feeling. Thank you.

Moderate/Beginner level class. 
This is a great way to start gently opening the body in preparation for full splits. Or, it's a great way to open the hips and hamstrings, with gentle core activation (if you're not too concerned about achieving full splits). 

The entire class is reclined (on the back), and modifications are offering both with and without props.

W1/D6 Full Flow Front Splits Part 1

I was in a half marathon yesterday, I’ve been so stiff in my hips and legs all day but I just don’t have the energy for a really long session on my mat. A foam roll and this class has worked wonders - I so appreciate that you always offer a few options so your classes cater to everyone from those who are super tight to the very flexible. Thank you thank you thank you

Alex

Great after a long walk🙏🏻💖⭐️🍀

Sophie

W2/D1 Reclined Drills Middle Splits

Love this class, I have very tight hips and generally need to be quite warmed up to sit in malasana and other similar poses so I love that you come into most poses in this class at least a couple of times, the repetition really helps me to open up

Love it! But the app keeps freezing, took me 40min to get thru it :(

Middle split and straddle is always a challenge. I understand how to use my core to fold forward more now but still don’t quite feel it with straddle. The journey continues! I’m able to fold a little bit deeper tho! 🙌🏽

Nice little guy to cook the legs after a bit of handstand work. Thank you!

Challenging my balance this AM! Great drill! Blessings ~*~

Standing balance poses are  challenging as always! 👌🏽

W3/D5 Standing Drills Front Splits

This tickled my hips in such a special way. Pleasure is an understatement. I was moaning nearly the whole class. I added in a figure 4 tiny ball, some compass action & pincha play at the end. What a move. I feel incredible. 🤤 THANK YOU!!

I remember this class was challenging but revisiting the class today and found it to be a more mellow gentle flow into front splits, which is still super difficult. But I’m happy to see my progress that the first half of the class wasn’t as difficult as before ☺️🙌🏽

That was so wonderful!!! Felt so good in the legs and hips.

This was real nice to listen to. That pleasure sensation you talk about while in certain postures is my favorite thing about yoga. I LOVE hitting those spots. That sensation is why I show up every day. Thank you!

challenging for me every time ❤️
Thank you

Working on balance is always fun. I can feel my calves getting bigger from this class. Thank you!

W4/D5 Standing Drills Middle Splits

I always feel like I need to connect with & treat myself better. I’ve seen a lot of progress over the last year but can always do better. Thanks for the reminder.💜

W4/D6 Cultivating Connection

Wow 🤩 I was able to remain in the pose with ease and fold even deeper! I was able to get on a block with middle split too! Still trying to find that core engagement for folding during the split tho. Journey continues! 🙌🏽

One of my favorite classes 🩷 thank you, Kayla 🙏

Sydney

In love with this flow 🌟 Thank you Kayla 🙏
