This class was unique.  Meghan put me in all types of uncomfortable shapes.  My hamstrings were really tight today, and my mind was all over the place.  I wanted to pull out of it.  I wanted to stay in it.... For the most part  I stayed in the uncomfortable and tried to somewhat embrace it.  Seems that's how my life is these days, a series of uncomfortable events.  lol I always learn a little about myself on the mat, especially with Meghan's lovely words.  We are all a little more capable then what we think.  Here's my first attempt.  I kinda got something on my left side, and not much of anything on my right.   Now to work on straightening my leg.... I really would love a class on Kapotasna.  I think I have the ability, I'm just not sure how to quite get into it safely.  Love to you both and thanks for putting out such wonderful videos. .

What in the world was that?  So I have been doing yoga for 3 years now and have never tried this pose.  And I thought I was strong. When I saw meghan's legs fly up like is was nothing I was like " yeah I got this"  I did not have it at all, not like that anyway.  But I did get it a bit.  Thanks for keeping it interesting. Very creative and fun class as always. Pic for those who also barely got a lift, you are not alone 😀

What a great approach to teaching balance! It was a surprisingly simple class as far as the asana part, but don't let that fool you.  This class was definitely a challenge with a lot of long holds, bringing  awareness to balance EVERYWHERE... equal weight in hands, feet, back muscle activation, amount of reaching out and pulling in,  to name a few.  The mental awareness required was quite intense, and intense focus a must.    I found soooo much joy and rejuvenation in this class. I came to it after a vacation that definitely threw me off balance a bit.   I fell a bit but for the most part did well with her cues, that, as always, are SPOT ON!  I felt great after 😀 This class was just what I wanted in a good balance vinyasa flow.   Most balance classes I come across seem to be a sequence of difficult balance poses put together at a fast pace. I need that slow down on and off the mat! Lol  Meghan nailed it. Going right into favorites 💜  Thank you!

So happy someone thought to ask for this! I have been studying the toe movement of this transition for a while now and it is nice to have it broken down like that! Thanks 💜

Another wonderful class!  I crave all the slink all the time.  I slink everywhere in an attempt to one day slink as good as you!! Fun, fulfilling, nourishing, and calming.  Thank you for introducing tapping to me.  I have seen it, but never tried and really liked how it made me feel afterwards.  I am loving the shorter videos, your sense of humor, and how happy you seem sharing your wisdom with us.  I would like to see a headstand skills practice as well as a transition training video learning how to maneuver into wheel from wild thing then rolling back over to plank.  I have seen you do a lot of that in your youtube videos.  I would love to be able to as confidently as you.

Lovely class.  And I would also love to see more breathwork classes. 😁 So easy to fit into my day and the skills obtained from these classes have helped me so much with handling my anxiety.  Thank you!!

Lovely class! I was able to do a forearm stand for a second.  I will gladly take it.  I do have a question....when I try to do forearm stand with my hands apart, I can't.  I can do it only with my hands together. I feel much more secure and strong this way. Should this be something I try to correct?  Is there any benefit to doing it with you hands flat and parallel, verses hands together.  Just curious your thoughts on it.  Thank you as always for the wonderfully refreshing class 😁🩷

This class is gonna get dropped right down into the favorites folder. I LOVED IT! The longer holds and the balancing postures with the inner heat from the core workout left me with this lovely inner glow at the end that I have definitely been needing. And I loved having another shorter video as an option as I do need them when life gets busy! Oh and nice one with the repeat 1....1....1.... lol!! I feel yummy and delicious. I look forward to every Monday. Meghan your online studio is a blessing to me!

Meghan does such a wide range of amazing videos! She has covered literally everything. But if I had to think, I would say that I would LOVE a slow flow balance video with lots of standing balance postures with longer holds and fun transitions. I have been trying to improve my balance by attempting certain poses like tree pose and half moon with my eyes closed. lol Challenging and fun! I loved the dancing tree video. The balance point in side plank with tree legs is awesome.

Fun!! I really enjoyed feeling all the deep core activations with lifting the sacrum off the floor as well as the dlow rolls in the beginning. Wow! I could feel that! Had a lot of fun rolling around. Great class!!
