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)
