This is such an incredible practice. Beautiful music - simply beautiful, and the
practice itself is challenging - yet reachable, as Erich encourages you to really
go to the level where you realistically can go.
When I did this workout I didn't feel like the clumsy person I often feel when doing
a lot of fast vinyasas (sun salutations).
I managed wheel twice, but didn't hold it as long as he did by any means. Thanks
to Erich's wonderful teaching, I felt utter joy in what my body could do and absolutely
no disappointment in what it couldn't do.
Instructor Comments:
Erich is wonderful. A joy to watch and his voiceover is so soothing to the ear.
As a fellow VFer pointed out, he doesn't ever talk down to anyone.
Erich's form and strength are inspiring. He reminds me of a cat - the way he moves
(and talks)
