Loved the smoothing music and the way the instructor talks calmly and spends exact time on every asaan. Would love to see a daily yoga sessions for whole 7 days covering other asaans as well, that will be a hit for sure. Thanks for such a wonderful course.

I could have learned that from Youtube for free! Very short and basic. Look it up in youtube instead

The information is good but the PDF handout doesn't work and if I need to find out my dosha. The instructor did not introduce herself so I don't even know her name to try and write to her. I find no way to contact her with my needs and she hasn't replied to the questions under the videos so I did not try that. Communication is also important to go along with the information provided.

I'm loving it ! I use it now to refresh my knowledge, 7 years after taking an Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy with Marc Halpern (Ayurveda college of California) and I find the experience nice, useful and highly inspiring. Thank you. Love and Light.

I like how she explains the effects of the movements, her voice is very calming and the music too. I've realized that I have some imbalances, it was a great approach.
