Overall, the routine is nice, but you fail to state which posture I'm supposed to be in, in particular in the standing section in the middle. There are some very vague instructions about having parallel feet, "spreading your wings" (in what direction?), and bending and unbending your knees. Somewhere between prayer twist (I think that's what it was) and triangle pose, I got very lost whereas I don't think I would have in a class with you. I felt this way a few times, so I wonder if this particular recording is good for remote instruction.
I don't know if you realized, but you were laughing at someone's having a metal rod in her back.
If we're supposed to put our issues away on a shelf for practice, I'm not sure why you needed to bring up your email rage, even if it's about how you successfully managed it. It's not helpful to highlight our negative tendencies and ask "How many of us have...?" It's distracting at best.
