I too got in on this deal when it was on Kickstarter. Erin is the only yoga I have ever stuck with. I haven't really utilized the streaming site as much as I use YouTube though. I usually do her 30 day program as a cool down/stretch after my workouts and love it. I'm another person who isn't into long yoga workouts.

Never let short length ... or even wanting to Chant? ... Stop You
Erin Motz
Where to start regarding her? I had not chosen known lineages–I am MUCH more open-minded than that. Suffice to say, that living in the big city, they’d chosen me. My curiosity got the better of me about a BAD first impression one of Motz' blog posts; after having been through the mill for the past more than 7 years, with some studios of known lineage, such as Dharma Mittra, OM Yoga, The Himalayan Tradition, Baptiste Power Vinyasa (ambient-temperature version), and of course, Krishnamacharya Yoga Therapy; then Shiva Rea and Yogea Artflow (yoga-modern dance fusion). Then, I went on doyouyoga and I found that some of Erin Motz' videos are pretty good. Many of the videos are impressive. She seems to have quite a lot of good energy.. Because I dance (and am not young) I definitely have a movement-driven practice. Add in that I do like the chanting, chakra talk, woo-woo and Sanskrit. Thus, I may not be a good student of this Erin Motz of MyYogaPro; in fact maybe pretty bad. But it's not due to preferring 55+ minute long practices. I suppose, though I do not know how to do it yet: we lengthy-workout people could make a YouTube playlist.

Thanks for all of your thoughts!
I should have asked this before, but for those who contributed to the Kickstarter campaign, have you used Erin's pose library? If so, was it useful to you? The issue of class length is a funny one for me. I love 75-90 minute studio classes, so hypothetically I'd want longer video classes too. But at home I seem to do better with shorter practices because of distractions (kids!). Maybe I should find a place to stash my kids so I can practice in peace. Debbie, thanks for mentioning Faith's meditation challenge. I'll definitely check that out. A few months ago I tried to start a daily meditation practice using a free online MBSR program, but I got bored. Plus I kept dozing off during the longer guided meditations. Ten minutes a day sounds like a better bet. |

I'd highly recommend the Faith Hunter meditation challenge. Every day has a different focus and are about ten minutes. It was perfect for me to do right after my workout. And her screen persona is awesome. I almost think I should buy it just to support her PS Are you near JPLicks????
