I do more advanced classes now, but I have done these classes. Ekhart, for me, has a very sensible approach. In her beginner classes the basic asanas(poses) gives the practitioner a great base to build off of. These poses, Sukhasana(easy pose), Tadasana(mountain pose), Adho Mukha Savasana(downward dog), Balasana(child pose), Bhujangasana(cobra pose), Ardha Matsyendrasana(half lord of the fishes pose), are modified in numerous ways to make the hundreds upon hundreds of variations across many schools and their asanas.

Her instructions are very in-depth, she has great advice on breath control, how parts of the body should feel during practice, and many of these tips are fundamental in learning yoga way beyond a beginner setting.

In short, if you've never tried yoga and want to try, this is the place to start, where you go is up to you :)

Namaste
