Experience Freedom in Hip and Shoulder Openers

classes at this pace always remind us of the importance of a solid foundation and good alignment before full extension. These classes are harder than the faster pace classes with more poses...both physically and psychologically. Thanks, Neesha.

Lots of lunges, forward bends (quite a few with hands clasped behind the back which stretches the chest so nicely), and backbendy poses which serve to nicely open up both the front and back of the body. I agree with a previous post that my connection to my breath is much stronger. The floor lunge stretches are gradual and the repetition really allowed my thighs and hamstrings to respond deeply.

If these classes are sequenced in order I'm finding some of Neesha's older classes harder to "flow" with than some of her later classes. I agree with an earlier post that this class is a little repetitive

Like many of Neesha's classes, this one starts out slow, but gets challenging. There is a longer than usual breathing sequence at the beginning. It definitely focuses on hips and shoulders, but is still balanced, like most of Neesha's classes. Lots of simple, low lunges and simple backbends. Wide-legged forward bends are included as well. A fun flow with hands clasped behind the back. One-legged bridges at the end. I felt energized after this class. Caveat: (in cobra) Feel how the strength of your legs allows your heart to soften. Neesha also reminds us that the after class open feeling is accessible to us throughout class. I felt really connected to my breath today.

This sequence enhanced the sensations in my body. At one point Neesha commented on feeling the tingling sensation and I truly was. There is a lot of forward folding in this class. Also some good strengthening with side plank twice each side and one legged shoulder bridge.

I found it to be a little of everything rather than focused on hips and shoulders. There's some hamstring stretches, side plank twice and quite a bit of lunges with back knee down. Good class, not overly strenuous

a little repetitive at time, but wonderful for tight hips

This is a well-rounded class with a variety of different poses. There is a lot of work on your knees, so for those of you who have knee problems I wouldn't suggest it. I do, and I found that if you point your toe instead of keep it flexed it doesn't put as much strain on the top of your knee cap.
