Open the upper back so the back Then you want to get into the upper body, keep breathing, inhale and then exhale. I took the tune lower down rest for a second. You could windshield wiper the legs if you'd like back and forth, and then one more full or half wheel yogis choice. So if you can hands But years from your tips face the shoulders can lift all the way up. Tuck under the till, breathe through the nose. Maybe you want to work on extending one leg up.

This is a great class. I like Kristin's energy and way of teaching. A few years ago I attended Bikram Yoga Classes, and that is all my experience with yoga so far. Before I started to view this class, I watched Dylan Werner's class "Yoga Strength Basics for Beginners" here on Creative Live, and this was super helpful for understanding how to move correctly during this class.

I took the Full Body Sweat Session lesson and thought it was a great overall yoga class. Kristin walks you through all the basic moves and I loved how she incorporated ab workouts too. I didn't sweat as much as I wanted to but it was definitely a great home workout!
