Yoga for Opening Heart, Lungs and Chest

A very enjoyable class with great explanation. So good of Alyona to view us and give individual comments on posture and positions

I felt a real benefit from Alyona’s class and intend to include a couple of the elements into my daily routine. Thank you!

I feel like i've connected with my shoulder blades again! I enjoyed the class and really loved Alyona's way of teaching. I'm looking forward to some more sessions and hoping they will come soon.

I appreciate taking the time to give the demonstration but I was unable to get much out of it as i can only take weight on my knee for short periods and certainly can't lean/sit back. It would have been helpful to say in advance what level of mobility was required to participate. As it was described as upper body stretching, i thought it would have been more suitable for arthritis sufferers.

I missed the event as I could not login for some reason . Another fantastic session ( did it today) and so timely with everyone spending too much time seated at a computer ! I would love to see a course with Alyona payable if we could get enough people . She has a great way of teaching Thank you so much

Thank you, great session. I am looking forward to the group and links to do more of this. 🙏🏼🧘🏻‍♀️

I found this class very challenging but feel “ stretched” and energised . Thank you

I’ve just caught up with Alyona”s class from yesterday. It was fab!. my shoulders now feel more open and tension free. I must do those exercises regularly because just doing it in that session felt so beneficial. I haven’t done a backbend in years probably and clearly, my body needs to do them. Thank You Alyona and Stella.

A really lovely class. My shoulders are smiling! I did it as a catch up and can see that I missed out because Alyona was checking postures and making sure they were being done correctly.

I missed the live class as it was at the same time as my regular yoga class. I've just watched and joined in 'on catch-up' as I felt I needed a Saturday morning stretch. My shoulders and legs now feel very energised. I particularly enjoyed the savasana sequence at the end, an ideal relaxing pose for my sometimes tweaky back, especially after camel pose (which is still a work in progress for me). A very calm end to the class. I'll be reading up on alfalfa! Thank you.

I found the wall exercises and lying on the floor to stretch upper back and shoulder excellent and could really feel the benefit of those stretches. The kneeling exercise was more problematic for me as I can't take weight in that position on my knees, probably due to arthritis. I really like Alyona's style of teaching and very much valued having her time and expertise for a complementary hour of tuition. Thank you Stella for arranging the session with Alyona.

Fabulous session, I have learnt so many specifics about downward dog, active child's pose, folding and breathing during folds that I was unaware of, it will really improve my practice moving forward. I found it extremely helpful to have Alyona make corrections and recommendations to my downward dog, which then felt so much better in the length I felt in my back, arms and legs. Thank you Alyona and thank you Stella for putting this wonderful session on for us, and, of course, for your brilliant choice in music, as always, I just can't stop myself from dancing along xx
