Wow! What an awesome class! I love all the exercises and they were definitely challenging, which is what I needed. I was looking for something for posture and bone density, and this is good for both! Thank you!

It has been a wonderful day and I am so grateful to end this wonderful day with this amazing practice focusing on breathing. The crane soaring movement was so powerful for me this evening. The entire practice was glorious. Thank you, Steven.
