Okay, I just tried my first class. I did Travis Eliot's Twist and Flow, 60 minute, level 2+ class, although I could only finish 1/2 of it.
I'm probably not the best judge of this right now, because I'm sick (I have this yucky flu stuff going around). I just wanted something to work up a little sweat, to see how I felt. I chose this class because of the twists - I thought I could use some detoxification right now, being that I'm sick. Looking over the classes again, I should have chosen Travis's Detox and Flow instead, since that one was only 30 minutes. I had to quit the practice 1/2 way through simply because my lungs were burning, and it was just too much too soon. I was starting to work up a nice little sweat though, and the practice itself was really nice. It was a simple move, but I loved the twisting cobras that he used throughout - they felt great on my stiff back. The set was nothing to write home about - just simple, hardwood flooring, modest decorations, and sheer white curtains with visible traffic behind them - nothing like Udaya standards or anything. I didn't find this distracting during the actual practice though. There was no music, which I actually prefer with yoga, but I know some like to have music. Of course, Travis as an instructor was great! It may just have been me, or the fact that I didn't complete the practice, but his voice didn't have quite the "annoyance factor" that bothers some people with UY - at least to my ears it didn't - I may be wrong. One thing I noticed with the website itself - it seemed like it kept logging me out - like it had the constant message of "log-in" at the top, as if I was never logged in. I could access the videos though. I'm not sure what was up with that. As for the streaming quality, I didn't have any problems with it. Overall, I think this place is a winner, although I need another yoga streaming membership like I need a hole in the head! For that reason, I personally will probably cancel before my 2-week trial is up - I just have too much that I want to focus on right now. I do like how they have a balanced mix of class times, and I think Travis will be a big draw to the site! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, because I can't think of anything else to say. So far, I'd say it's pretty good! Two thumbs up from me! |
