Great challenge so far.  We are on Day 4.  I like the reminder emails.  We have to download the videos to watch them because our internet has problems streaming at times, so it doesn't always show that we have done the videos.

I'm happy to be practicing with you Nathan and with the group. I am enjoying the classes. I have been a yoga teacher my whole life but now at 64, I have osteoporosis so I am substituting for the forward bends and twists. Still, it's a great class and I feel the benefits of this focused half hour each morning.

I am really grateful for this series, Nathan...I feel my entire body opening up. Yes, I have some work to do to build up to some of the more advanced asanas, but this is a really terrific, all encompassing series. Many, many thanks to you and to Yoga Anytime! Namaste.
