Love love love. I will never be able to do the entire pose, but it's so lovely to push my boundaries. Thanks, Andrea!

Andrea is a great teacher and this is a wonderful "tutorial" type practice. The modifications and steps to the peak pose are done well and you will be warmed up for the peak pose when you go to do it. This is a practice you can refer back to and see how you progress as you build strength and stamina.

One small issue, for me, was corpse. You are in final resting pose when Andrea leaves. I prefer "closure" with the teacher. Totally personal preference. :)

So great! Thank you. I was tempted to quit after those push ups, but I am so glad I continued. Loved the compass and camel...and the relaxation at the end. I feel great!
