How-To Approach This Class
several different ways that you could approach this plan. Now this plan works into four different categories. The first category is shoulder strength, straight arm engagement and working into the shoulder girdle. The second category that we go through is into core strengthening core stability. Bond a lift. The third category has to do with legs and balance, and the fourth category has to do with back bends. Now there's three videos into each one of these categories that are designed in a way to bring you through your practice and teach you everything that you're supposed to do. I encourage you to work on your weaknesses. If it's back men's, you know, continue to go back to back men's work through those videos, open up in the front body, opening the back body, strengthen the back body, working to do things, whatever your weaknesses. That's where you gonna get the most help through. Feel free to go through the videos to three times through it until you feel comfortable. Really, These are...
all tools for you to build your own yoga practice. It's important when you approach any yoga practice to approach it with a little light heartedness. Don't take yourself too seriously. Have fun with this. Know that growth happens? Know that we all started at some point. We all started, you know, not knowing. So with this, this gives you the tools to lead you into a place of confidence. When you approach yoga class, you're gonna feel good.

Yoga Strength Basics for Beginners has an amazing amount of quality content. The title of the class says it all. These workouts are designed to target various muscle groups in the body to build strength and stamina, which can be applied to yoga moves or, quite frankly, to living life to its fullest. Each class begins with a short warm up of the targeted body part and ends with a short relaxation. Instructor Dylan Werner, offers clear, concise instructions about how to position yourself and how to perform the movements properly. As a novice in the world of yoga, I appreciated his suggestions for beginner modifications and his pleasant and encouraging tone. The workouts have no background music, which means you can have your own music playing at the same time, if you choose. In addition, it was easy to find time in the day for these lessons, as they range in length from 18-27 minutes. Thanks to the presentation of this class as a 30-day program, where 12 individual lessons are offered twice with six intermittent rest days, I feel it helped foster a routine for me. The skill level of this class is set to “beginner,” and while I believe anyone can learn from these videos, I think it did help me to already have some exercising experience (I have been an at-home, video exerciser for over three decades.) I plan to continue watching through this class again and again because the content is so good and I have lots of room for improvement. In my opinion, Yoga Strength Basics for Beginners certainly adds to the quality lineup of classes that Creative Live offers.

Great course for yogis of ALL levels. Dylan does an excellent job of explaining how the body should be working through even the "simplest" poses in order to get the most out of your practice & grow stronger faster. Even after just 20 min, my muscles feel it the next day. I look forward to taking what I have learned and integrating it into my own routine! What a nice surprise to find an online course which gets me excited to deepen my yoga practice.

This is a great class, after years of bad form in yoga due to lack of strength, I am building up my core so I can rock a sun salutation. Straight forward, easy to follow, nice short classes that you can double up on if you want to work more. Super great way to start your day.
