About half way through, I felt like this was also a great detox class. I certainly felt great afterwards! I haven't found a single one of your classes that wasn't just fabulous!

[@yay4films]

Erin, I have been doing your classes ever since mid June. I tried this class early in the summer, and it was so depressing. I used to be able to get into Bird of Paradise at least on one leg. I couldn't even get my foot off the ground! Then I embarked on your 30-day travelling series. Today, I was able to do Bird of Paradise on both legs which I don't believe I have EVER been able to do in over 20 years of yoga! Thank you for your well-paced, challenging way of teaching. I love your classes. I have been nursing an issue in my right leg, and your classes have helped me stretch and work those 64-year-old muscles to this point. Yassss! Thank you, Erin!

[@carlynanichols]

My best bird of paradise yet!!! Great prep. That focus on the quads really helped

[@santhigia9136]

Thank you for this. I really appreciate the prep work leading to the peak pose- it makes such a difference. :)

[@keysaamaro]

Thank you Erin! I love bird of paradise. Such a challenging pose.

[@michelinewilkie3064]

I love your advanced classes; the more challenging the better! This was great! I always add full backbends, handstands, headstands and pigeon at the end.

[@This_Intentional_Life]

That was very challenging...in a good way. While I didn’t make it all the way into Bird of Paradise I got further than I thought I would. Very pleasantly surprised!

[@servicioslinguisticos5502]

Gurrrrl, I've been doing yoga with you for years now, how is it that I had never seen this session?! It's solid gold! I feel so blessed by you this morning, thank you.

[@lizzettebonfanteg6639]

wonderful for the hips and shoulders after sitting for a long time studying. Thank you! this is one of my favorites now

[@pierceabrahamson6992]

My body feels so open and energized after this flow! Thank you!!

[@FiveParksYoga]

Great to hear Pierce! You're welcome!

[@sila9667]

Wow, pretty challenging session there. I'm all sweaty and wiggly; I'm happy about that, though. It was my first time attempting Birds of Paradise and I hope I'll be able to do it fully someday. Thanks a lot!

[@hippobee3]

I have been practising your yoga videos for the entire lockdown period here in India, and I found you to be the best best guide 💞 lots of love and power and more yoga flow your way! Thank you for the easy access to your videos. Forever grateful that I could built this strength in me with your help 🧡☀️✨

[@stephanies8447]

I almost did bird of paradise!! I never thought I was that close to accomplishing that position! Thank you so much for this class. Namaste

[@boopiedoop2000]

This is by far the best class I've found. I've done many from different instructors, and none of them compares to this. I've been coming back to this every single day. Thank you so much Erin for your grace and beautiful instructions!

[@adeleneong9149]

Love this kind 23-2-2023 Thursday

[@heidischreck8237]

WOW! That may have been my favorite class of yours EVER! I love when we work our way toward a more advanced posture, it gives me something to look forward to all the way through the class. I feel so much better mentally and physically. Thanks for your wonderful expert guidance. xo

[@ebonyrollins6661]

I absolutely love your classes. I come here for inspiration for my own classes. I know yoga is not a competition however no one inspires me quite like you and your flows! Namaste!

[@FiveParksYoga]

+Ebony Rollins Thanks Ebony! From one teacher to another, I am flattered. I keep up with my own personal practice to stay inspired also. I love taking pieces of wisdom from teachers and classes to help me grow not just as a student, but as a teacher too. Thanks for your kind words!

[@undercoverj09]

Curious as to what your split journey has been like! Thanks for this practice. I surprised myself :)

[@joanotte7097]

Your channel is just a goldmine of yoga practices! Thank you so much for sharing so many classes. I have never attempted bird of paradise until today as I thought there is no way I could do it and while I may have been jumping all over my mat I think I just might get there eventually. Thanks again I always look forward to your classes!!

[@FiveParksYoga]

Thank you so much Joan!!

[@ingridamurauskiene5945]

Thank you very much Erin🤗 Namaste🙏

[@ilana82]

That was the first time I ever tried bird of paradise. I only held it for a split second but I still did it!!! Thanks from Cape Town ☺

[@megangerhard9576]

Love all the strength, stretch, and transitions of poses, preparing for bird of paradise. Really invigorated me, and allowed me to get into my most open and stable version of bird of paradise.Thank you, Erin!!

[@MillionaireHoyOriginal]

This was my first time attempting Birds of Paradise. Very challenging and I loved every minute of it. Thanks, Erin. Namaste

[@justinej263]

Thank you for another great flow!

[@monicastrinayoga]

I loved it, all the asanas leading to bird of paradise really helped and it was nice to stretch arms and shoulders more than usual. Your classes inspire me to teach better, more creative sequences. Thank you 💖

[@jasminsamara5946]

you deserve more subscribers! I've loved every single video of yours so far!

[@vivis3153]

agreed!!

[@FiveParksYoga]

Thank you Jasmin Samara!

[@fatowen1988]

Wow, that was a little intense and sweaty, lol. Intermediate-to-Advanced class, quad power intensive. Great step building. That was really fun getting into the final pose at the end :) Thank you Erin

[@catharineslusar6995]

Thank you! Wow. I did my first bird of paradise! I am on a medication that makes my joints feel like an unfit 80 year-old, so this is huuuuuuuuge.

[@ragnaswyter7132]

This was absolutely fantastic, bird of paradise was too much for me, I was rather a bird falling from the sky... but I enjoyed the class a lot! Its awesome to do your videos when my baby is sleeping!

[@MCams256]

Tough for me as a beginner to this pose but so exhilarating and I loved the challenge thank you Erin! Your guidance and cues were really great!

[@servicioslinguisticos5502]

I know, right? My glasses are super thick, so cues are everything to me.

[@esmoriem]

These are some of my favourite yoga classes. Thanks Erin!

[@janismurillo3465]

Erin, another wonderful class! Just the right mix of power and calm. Loved it!

[@michellesweeney2642]

Wow, such a challenge! Love it all, including all the more difficult poses (that I can't do), but it's still to watch you do them! Such a strong, graceful, and cleansing flow. Thank you!

Absolutely heavenly class, my most beautiful BOP happened. Your sequences are just so unique, love them, each and every one of them :) Thank you sweet Erin, keep the classes coming! :) Hugs from Budapest!

[@ednanunes3896]

you make me love yoga!!! thanks so much

[@sonali_dani]

Loved the flow Erin. Specially the ending lines gratitude your body, taking out time for yourself it’s very important for our wellbeing. To exercise breath mediate and connect to our yoga mat may be no less than 20min at least everyday

[@bean9619]

This is my second time doing this practice and I think it's my favorite so far! The perfect mix of intense strength and stretch and the pacing is perfect. Thank you so much. You are such a natural teacher!

[@thebritishindian1]

First time I've ever done a bind in this video, thanks! (And I've been trying for over two years!)

[@kamucipoke]

This was such a fantastic class! It's perfect in every way and somehow everything went so smooth for me this time, all the balance, the transitions and even the bird of paradise worked out with ease. Thank you so much 💕

[@ЛюдаКотова-е9б]

thank you very much, Erin! Your class is challenging and inspiring!

[@seagoatherbs2454]

I took my first Bird of Paradise on both sides today! Your classes have most certainly helped me to get to this point. Thank you Erin! :)

[@FiveParksYoga]

Bravo!

[@Mr_Fbro]

Thank you, I really enjoyed this flow.

[@osnatshaibe1534]

Great class. Enjoyed the standing poses and the whole sequence leading to bird of paradise . I guess it was not only enjoyable and fun but also effective, as the target was achieved effortlessly. Many thanks. Only, I really needed backbends to finish, felt it'll relieve some tension in the hamstrings, so took a few and the result was a perfect practice. Thank you.

[@FiveParksYoga]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@donnaflude1320]

Loved your class just the right balance of everything. Thanks for sharing

[@revolutionaryaromatherapy]

Yes! I can't express it any better than Ebony .... blessings & gratitude, indeed! Btw .. I call that final twist on the mat 'the soft pretzel' and have been inserting it into a number of practices at the end. It was fun to see it added to your class.

[@FiveParksYoga]

+Tammy Davis - the soft pretzel - love it!

[@parnikashukla2239]

I also love your way to tell how to do yoga feeling relax...thank you so much to make this video

[@tigerhernia]

Terrific flow to open up the shoulders! Great workout as well.

[@seemaparikh8975]

Hi I do your vinyasa every alternate days 😍 I luv it

[@FiveParksYoga]

Yay! Thank you!

[@luisakern4973]

Thank you very much, Erin! This class has absolutely impressed my body and calmed my mind😊. Namaste🙏

[@zumbanatalieb]

Amazing flow. Thank you so much. I'm always happy when I get to do the splits x

[@FiveParksYoga]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@rachellong5844]

I really like your peak pose classes. I couldn't get my leg all the way straight in bird of paradise, but it's something to work toward. Thank you for this class!

[@fernrain]

You are making stellar videos! Thank you so much!!

[@FabiolaChristovao]

I love your classes. Thank you!

[@RominaRomeroHermoso]

Such an amazing class

[@judyzaino8172]

Love this one!! Thank you.

[@jo_josalzburg9064]

Thank you so much for this wonderful class!

[@beautyandthebeast1465]

Great practice 👌

[@carolinecweiss]

Thank you, Erin!! You’re amazing!

[@katiepoopops]

Perfect class. The right speed, strength, flexibility, balance. Loved it!

[@benedettamauro2605]

this was beautiful! thank you

[@purpleamaru]

excellent class!

[@marjoryleposky4328]

Thank you! :)

[@yhong66]

Awesome video! Any suggestions to beginners to arm balance poses? I thought I have been doing decent amount of upper body weight training but when you said try lifting the leg, I couldn't even imagine how I can do that.

[@FiveParksYoga]

Yes! Arm balance poses are deceivingly not all about the arms. I feel like core strength, body awareness - (the ah-ha) moment, and practice are the key to arm balances.

[@paulaspindler]

Amazing practice. Thank you! =)

[@FiveParksYoga]

You're very welcome Paula!

[@bethduncan6886]

Hi! I realize I'm late to the party, but I just discovered you a few weeks ago and have really been enjoying your classes. I like that they are all different and I find your flows inspiring and not repetitive which is wonderful Thank you!!

[@FiveParksYoga]

Thanks Beth! I hope you have fun exploring the variety of classes on my channel.

[@pnygrl75]

My first bound side angle!

[@limolilo]

I think my birds are not exactly in paradise :) but I really love this pose thanks

[@christinebaker3049]

Erin, I love your classes but I might suggest a little more description in your titles. This was clearly a class designed more for advanced/ high intermediate yogis and as someone who is probably high beginner moving towards low intermediate, it was a bit much. Totally fine that these videos are out there. Would just love to know which ones to pass on for the time being. Thanks!

[@melisaparlak1761]

i love Bird of Paradises and sugarcanes with you. thank you for this deep and strong yoga class.

[@marijamillere7487]

👍👍👍🙏❤️

[@lindaross578]

Erin, I love your classes, but this type of class runs too quickly through each posture so I fail to gain the full benefit of each. Thanks for your great teaching.

[@FiveParksYoga]

Thank you Linda for your feedback. Try a slow flow, hold and flow, or deep stretch to receive the benefits of alignment and opening in some of these same postures.

[@paulacamastro9849]
