All the music was distracting and too loud. I had to keep the volume up to hear her instructions. This could have been 15 minutes, taking out some of the side lunge repetition which is what I did. Still very nice and I enjoyed. And wow those plants! Green envy!

I love this practice, Phyllicia's voice guided me perfectly and I particularly enjoyed the low-side lunge, something I am not quite used to in my yoga flow! Thank you so much Phyllicia and PS for having her! ❤️

09:29 👍👋 I really liked the flow, but would prefer much calmer music. It was too distracting.
Thank you, namaste!

I like the poses, great flow. It's a little fast though. The next move gets often announced when she is already halfway through it, so you have to keep the eyes on the screen at all times to keep up…

I wish her transitions would have been better. She was sitting and said to place your hands on your mat then she was in downward dog with no explanation of getting there. I've done a lot of yoga and transitions mean everything.

I am definitely warm , I loved this. I was a beat behind you but I like that I kept my pace and listened to my body while also following your flow.

Tamara Kaiser March 10, 2021 - 6:35 am

Thank you for the flow, but at least for me, it was way to fast and I think also your asanas would have needed more time. The way you rush through the asanas has little to do with the yoga I love. I really hope there are no inexperienced yogis trying to to yoga with this.
But thank you for the flow !

I fully enjoyed this practice. It threw me for a loop when the practice was inspired by T, I’ve never heard that before and was genuinely interested. But as a Yogi who’s been practicing for 10 years, it’s very easy to get stuck in a practice, a sequence, or just get used to your own movements. Those some of these pastors were a pretty intense on my knees first thing in the morning, I made sure to use modifications. My body feels warm, and I feel fully present in the practice, my intention being to spend time in a space that serves me.

This workout has truly helped me to regain my flexibility. As a female nearly 50 yrs old. I found my body becoming less flexible over the last few years which was scary for me because I was always super flexible. Thank you for this amazing deep stretch video.

When she said “bring your left knee to your nose” I said aw hell nawl. I’m out of breath for YOGA that means I’m so outta shape 😂 I’ll get thru the whole video one day. But for now, those 6 mins did wonders 😂 I do feel good just off that. Will be attempting every morning & I hope to see improvement every morning ✅

I had to filter through 73 videos, with a few repeating to get to this #ONE by a #womanofcolor. Damn youtube algorithm shame.

As for the workout, #FIRE! I am a beginner so it went too fast for me without clear verbal cues for all the changes but with time and repetition I know it will become more fluid. Music was good, video presentation was good. Voice was clear and concise. I definitely woke up all my muscles to start the morning and fulfilled my intention of unlocking the back. #WIN
