One piece of advise. Decide what u want from yoga. Yoga has been invogue since ancient times in India and was supposed to keep body fit and prepare it for a more important purpose: spriritual quest (in the form of meditation).
Yoga poses are slow, rhythmic, one movement blending into the next effortlessly. Unfortunately, most Americans have missed the essence of yoga and made it into another kind of gymnastic activity. There is no benefit in this kind of yoga.

I just spent a weekend at one of her workshops and she is not simply just an acrobat. Maybe this video does give that impression but don’t let it fool you. I have been practicing for over 4 years and teaching for 2 and her workshop was one of the most wonderful experiences I have had. It was challenging, spiritual and very honest in every way. Yes, she can do all of those amazing poses but don’t let it fool you into thinking that she doesn’t know what yoga is…she does!

This the most beautiful demonstration of yoga that I’ve ever seen. She is a true master.

I see a lot or criticism here, mostly from the people who claim they know what yoga is all about, forgetting that it definitely isn’t about forcing everyone to follow one way. It’s a beautiful demonstration, just as it says in the title.

she is just an acrobat imitating yoga poses.. that’s all.and these gloves? like she is in the gym. if this is your thought of what yoga is, you don’t have the smallest idea. namaste

Are acrobats and people wearing gloves banned from enlightenment? Are there any other restrictions?

oh how little you know.. but thats ok, your judging this from a video. no worries…

i bet you wear gloves too.

I’ve been reading the comments on here and I have to question anyone who’ willing to critic someones practice. So what if she wears gloves? Has anyone ever thought that maybe certain people hands need extra protection? I mean I wear palm guards sometimes does that make me less of a yoga student? This woman was born crippled and healed herself with yoga which she has been practicing since she was 14 . Her yoga is all about healing she herself a abuse survivor

My understanding of Yoga is focusing on breath, breath with movement, opening heart and finding your root. Practicing within your own limits , meditation, and quieting the mind. Offering your practice , etc. Before you knock the woman go to a class that offers “Forrest Yoga”. It changed my life forever and destroyed a path of loathe and inner darkness. In all inner strength and love .
