Yoga Basics - Turning Your Attention Inward

Good class to clear your mind after a busy day to prepare for bed. Not a "warm" class, which is good sometimes. Focus on breath is always a good reminder no matter how far along you are in your practice.

Nice slow class. Also possible for Novices.

Gentle, relaxing. Some new poses I've never seen before that are theraputic (eg. hand on the opposite ear side stretch).

I've yet to do a class by Adi that wasn't wonderful, but this is very basic- a great novice level class.

But was not too slow!

Lovely relaxation class, Adi is as always awesome

I find these classes that focus on refining the basic building blocks of yoga (breath, foundational postures) some of the most challenging of all. It may seem slow and "easy", but as someone who prefers more dynamic classes, with a tendency towards a type A and push-through-it attitude about yoga, I have so much to learn from this class. Thank you, Adi, for helping me to remember to breathe and get the poses right rather than striving and struggling through practice all the time! =)

this skill level says yogi, however, i believe it is a beginner level.

Going through a stressful time at the moment so this is just what I needed today. Thank you Adi for sharing your wisdom and teaching x

I am finally making the time for practice now that I can possibly take it with me so easily. For my first day back this was perfect, easy and smooth but challenging enough to motivate me to do more.

Just what I needed today, no strenuous exertion and smooth clear instructions. Bliss.

As a triathlete training for my next race, it's really nice to incorporate some yoga and I always look for Adi's videos. What a great slow and relaxing class after an hour of high intensity strength training/intervals! Thank you Adi for another wonderful class!

I have been trying to work a kink out of my neck and this class was just what I needed toady. Slow, meditative and grounding. Thanks Adi!

Thank you for reminding me to breath...I learned in India that that's where the energy comes from and if we only focus on the exercise we're not doing Yoga. :)

This class provides great breath work and the challenge to stay focused on your breath and finding the stillness within a pose. Thanks Adi!

A great start to a Monday morning. Thank you.

The first time I visited this class was about two years ago, I see. Since then, with (semi-)regular YogaToday practice, I can feel that my back has more flexibility, my balance has improved, and that I understand more fully the value and import of the breath. Those pauses between breaths throughout the class were themselves a big lesson in stillness and turning inward. I've added this to my queue. Will revisit when a quieter practice or clarity is of particular need.

I definitely will be keeping this class in my queue for low energy days or to do closer to bed time as other reviewers have suggested. I'm also earmarking this for myself as a good one to do with my husband who has never done yoga before.

Another great recovery class from Adi. Gentle enough to be suitable for a beginner but not overinstructed and beautiful for a lighter practice for more experienced yogis. The class starts with pranayama and grounding, then moves on to gentle back and side stretches, modified sun salutations, relaxing low lunges, some basic ab work, gentle backbends and twists. Breath is cued throughout and you are reminded to turn your attention inward in more active moments. I will definitely choose this class again on gentle days.

Fantastic pranayama inquiry, and a well-rounded class both my husband and myself who are at different levels of practice.

Great practice to do closer to bedtime, as the class is slow-paced and fairly gentle. I built just a bit of heat without actually breaking a sweat or getting my heart rate up too much. Could have used a bit of extra instruction on seated poses with respect to tight hamstrings, but I face that problem in nearly every class! A wonderful overall practice that will stay in my queue for days when I don't have time to fit in a practice earlier in the day.

This is a slow paced video which I found great for late night practice. It has good stretching without being too deep and does not break a sweat.

very relaxing..Thank You Adi :)

this was a really nice, relaxing class to get rid of some of the tension i've been collecting sitting at my desk the last few days. it was nice how adi broke down the poses i know into different parts and focused on doing each movement with intention.

I feel wonderfull! Great relaxing class.

Thank you for that class. Wonderful!

Just what I need it today I feel like a new woman. Thank u

Grateful for the gentler pace. I appreciate you offering something for everyone, at all levels.

With a moderate pace and lots of instruction and modification, this is a great beginners' class, yet there were enough new or uncommon poses and concepts to satisfy this four-year practitioner. If you're experienced, don't expect to build much internal heat until 2/3rd of the way through, and not much heat at that, but if you accept the pace and open your mind to pushing yourself further in these basic poses I think you'll like it.

really gave me a calm piece of mind to start my day

This was a lovely nurturing session focused on the breath and slow relaxing poses that gently stretched my tight muscles. Adi is a great instructor for beginners!

This was a nice gentle practice, but it still stretched out my tight back and hamstrings. A great practice for relaxation after work or before bed.

this is a pretty slow paced, quiet class. the pranayama at the beginning was super refreshing, and overall, this is a great practice for a day when you just need to stretch and be restored.

Adi has a way of teaching that helps me 'know' what the pose should feel like and therefore I do it right. All that stuff about 'isometrically drawing' or 'shining' different body parts really helps me concentrate my attention where it needs to be. Between that and modeling the positions I get a fantastic workout. Also, I have very old knees - much older than the rest of me :) and the pace suites me even though it's an honest to gosh workout. I thouroughly enjoyed the class - thank you!

This class consists of some breathing exercises, some modified sun salutes, tree, then your on the mat. The omission of standing postures makes it relaxing. I really enjoyed the twisting pose on the mat, very effective.

I thought the class was nicely slow-paced. It allowed me the time to look inward and relax, exactly what I needed today. It would be a perfect morning class for when you are feeling sluggish or a perfect evening class when you just want to unwind and contemplate.

This was great for a morning when I really dragged myself to the mat. Good reminders of the basics and a very relaxed pace. Absorbing. Can't believe how fast the hour went by... Good choice when you're not really fired up but know you should practice.

Relaxing - perfect to start a day with lots of challenges ;o)

This is the first class I've tried as a beginner in which the breath presented the biggest challenge. I found that I needed to breathe a little more rapidly than what was called for in Adi's instruction. Yet, this focus on the breath has given me clarity and a feeling of accomplishment and strength. Wow. Cool.

Most of this sequence really focuses on breath which is great because it's something that I would like to be more in sync with. It is a great session if you would really like to relax and unwind.

I'm recovering from a wrist injury (camping accident-don't ask-lol) and the slower pace of this class let me move carefully enough to protect my wrist.

I agree, a wonderful class. The relaxed pace allowed me to really enjoy the benefits of the stretching.
