- Lovely Class for Level 1/Beginner Review by The Imperfect Yogi
-
This class we as well taught! The sequence is balanced for the body. The cuing is "clean," or in other words, no weird mannerism like saying, "um," over and over, and no "out of present" phrases over and over like "next you're going to..." Just very clean and a teacher's dream to hear. Also, I love that he puts dharma, or an inspirational message, in every class.Quality
100% this is geared for beginners and a true Level 1 class like you would see in a long time studio. These are perfect for me as I am recovering from some surgeries and not super mobile or energetic. Another thing I love is that he allows for BREATHING! Yes, he does talk pretty much the entire time, but each word is well chosen and many beginners get bored and "mind-wander" without that guidance. For me, this is so relaxing and a JOYOUS way to work at getting my body and energy recovered. BEAUTIFUL! Sending Thanksgiving week GRATITUDE for this!

It just might be my preference, or that it’s a beginner class, but, there was never a time to be introspective or hear yourself breath, there was always talking or even worse, counting! Not the style of yoga class I prefer. (Posted on 12/24/2018)Quality - No Title Review by Mariam G

Great way to begin the day! It felt amazing to get a nice sweat in and awaken the body through the breath and movement. Thank you Rolf! (Posted on 6/12/2015)Quality - No Title Review by Robin Goodfellow M

This was a great class! I'm not used to any kind of yoga, so there was a lot of confusion during the instructions but I just checked to see what the other students were doing and it felt really good. (Posted on 2/10/2014)Quality - No Title Review by Maureen S

Rolf - I just love this class! I use it to 'raise the bottom' as you say in your other 30 minute video....these are my go-to classes when I'm short of time or just feeling a little lazy. Thank you! (Posted on 1/16/2014)Quality - No Title Review by Victoria C

Was my first time doing one of Rolf's classes- was surprised that this was considered a beginner level! Some terms were used that I don't think a beginner would be familiar with, such as chatturanga, but all in all I thought Rolf gave really good instruction. Enjoyed the class and am looking forward to trying out other ones. I also liked what he said about the "echo" throughout the day- that really resonated with me. Thanks for a great morning!

I love Rolf's positivity and the way he encourages the student to find that little bit extra. The quote "echo of excellence" really hit home for me. When I start the morning with yoga there is a little buffer of positive energy around me all day long. (Posted on 7/27/2011)Quality
