Hi, Diane! 

Watching this class really helped me to realize the necessity of glute engagement during just about all of the exercises! That is an area that I sometimes neglect to actively target when I am focused on other postural/alignment cues. Seeing the massive difference of passive vs. active glute engagement on the short box was eye-opening to me and cemented in my brain its necessity in all exercises!

Thank you Diane for all the lovely, descriptive cues!

It was so helpful to see Laura demonstrate the tendencies to sink into the lumbar spine when the deep abdominals are not engaged correctly, great teaching moment! Thank you for a wonderful class as always Diane!

Such a great class with a nice pace! I personally enjoyed the Ron Fletcher variation for "hundreds". Loved all the helpful and detailed cues throughout the workout. 

Looked like such a great and challenging workout! I especially enjoying the arm work series flowing between biceps/triceps and rowing with both variations!

I love how you incorporate the stretches in between exercises such as the one you shared from Ron Fletcher after stomach massage, before reach and twist. I also Liked the images you used such as "chicken on a bbq." It helps to cue the isolation in the position of the hips while doing the knee stretch.

I loved the progression of this class, as well as the use of the pole to show correct spinal alignment ! 

i really appreciate the use of the poles along the spine. That is a tool I often forget about. i love how you can use it to align the spine along with using it as a frame by the ears. it also can be used to stretch. I just feel it is not only helpful for finding length in the spine, but a squaring of the shoulders. She also used it to hollow the belly and really activate the lower belly, along with using it to help emphasize the imagery.

I like that Diane sings through the class, it helps keep tempo and an elevated sense of energy as you go! I also like the use of imagery, especially Ron Fletcher's "chicken skewer" to cue the alignment and squareness of the hips.
