Great balance between tough backbends and restorative twists. Thank you!

Loved the restorative vibe of the class even though I was breaking a sweat in some of the longer asana holds and sequences. Class flew by, and my spine and chest feel open.

Backbends are not my favorite-was well warmed up by the end of the class for bow and camel. This is hard for me but something that I need to do more. The pace was nice and slow which I need for backbends. I was more flexible by the end of class.

Nice class,deliberate pace.

really nice heart opening, stretchy class. I really appreciated those reminders to engage root & navel lock.. I could feel the pressure releasing from my lower back as soon as I did that!

How this class got my heart pumping, thank you so much for rocking my world! Love from Colorado yo!

Amazing class except that it kept stopping/pausing the whole time....?

Opening. Challenging yet deliberate pace.

Adi, as always your classes are fantastic, this one also! thank you

good for stretching my back

This was a more physical practice that warmed me right up. Good thing because the class ends with bow and camel which work so much better when your warm. There were plenty of little Ashtanga challenges like hopping through to seated and hopping from knees to pike to chaturanga. Having no prior Ashtanga experience those transitions are new and fun.

great

..after this class, it should be illegal. A bit slow-paced, yet very effective. I felt completely engaged in the practice, which is unusual, because it normally takes a fast-paced class to keep my attention. A true moving meditation!

I feel great. What more can I say.

This class really opened up my shoulders! The backbends and twists were effective and Adi did a good job of making it an all levels class.
