For the Love of Truth

About This Class

This 87-minute vigorous flow class with Michelle Goldstein opens in Child's Pose and Downward Facing Dog, then builds steadily through repeated cat-cow warm-ups, sun salutation variations (cobra, Chaturanga, Up Dog), and a rich standing sequence featuring Crescent Pose, Warrior One, Warrior Two, Reverse Warrior, Side Angle, Triangle, Half Moon, and Tree Pose. Hip-opening highlights include half-chair (figure-four standing), standing splits, low lunges with interlaced fingers, and runner's lunge on the forearms. Core work appears in forearm-based side planks and plank variations. The class peaks with bow pose backbend after targeted quad and upper-back prep, then descends into seated wide-legged forward fold, bound angle, head-to-knee pose, shoulder stand, plow, supine thread-the-needle, supine twists, and happy baby before Savasana. Throughout, Michelle encourages students to adjust intensity freely—dropping knees, skipping Vinyasas, or resting in Child's Pose—framing yoga as a cultivation of clear, calm mind rather than physical achievement. The title-defining theme of practicing "for the love of truth" runs through the closing floor sequence.
