Today I wanted my practice to be my workout and this class was the perfect selection. Some sweating, some shaking and a lot of fun attempting those challenging postures. Whew...time to hit the showers!

This was my first exposure to Part II of the Ashtanga Primary Series and there were plenty of poses that were both new and surprising. I think exposing my mind to these positions was equally as important as exposing my body because I never realized that the possibility of moving in these ways existed. Fear cropped up when attempting tortoise and a few others so I modified like crazy throughout the class. It will be so fun to progress in this series - I'm anticipating amazing breakthroughs in mental, emotional, as well as physical, strength and endurance!

Thank you !!

I love her, thanks

This class is much more challenging than the primary series part I. I built a lot of heat in the sun sals and standing poses, but Adi moved though them too quickly for me. It felt as though just as I was settling into the pose, we were moving on. It's hard to squeeze primary into an hour! The tortoise poses were quite advanced, and I did not feel as though I should be doing them, as I've never been taught them in a real-life class. Extremely challenging for me, but I enjoyed the opportunity to practice lots of vinyasas, jump throughs, and lift ups. Really gave me a feel for what practicing Ashtanga primary would be like.

Great practice but very humbling at the end. I will definitely keep trying this practice to get those arm balance and tortouise poses better.

I built a lot of heat in this class and feel so much better! Challenging is a good word for this class!

As usual Adi delivers a tough, invigorating class. She is Superwoman!!!

I love Adi's sessions, but I do find myself distracted by the excessive talking. I try to listen for instruction and then I find myself focusing on something minute like rolling my kidney back. I'm picturing my kidney...where's it at, what's it doing, where am I rolling it...on and on. :-) It just gets in the way of focus on my breath and the pose. But she does give you a kick butt session for sure!

This is an energizing, stimulating, vigorous sequence of poses, and quite challenging on the whole. I only did about 35 minutes of this class today and watched the rest. My revolved triangle was probably the best and deepest it’s been yet! And I can remember it wasn’t more than 6 months ago that I could barely get into a revolved triangle. Slow and steady wins the race. I look forward to returning to this class in the future.

Adi always kicks my butt. Her strength and form during poses and her knowledge are an inspiration. I thought her cues were spot on every time and she talked me to places I had never been with my local teachers who talk less. After sun salutations a and b, in the forward bend, i actually started laughing and dry sobbing at the same time. something released in me - lately i have been solely running and forgot how therapeutic yoga can be. thanks for a fantastic hour.

I liked this practice for the very reasons Anon did not... I liked the dual language cues, tiny snippets of wisdom, I liked that Adi acknowledges the harder poses to be challenging. (they were, those seated poses). I like the style of delivery, it seems genuine. I liked the cue for Intense Side Stretch, spiraling the left ribcage toward inner right knee, and benefited from the bandha cues. As always at YogaToday, I wish relaxation pose was supported with soft music, and it would be nice to later on be brought back with a singing bowl or a kind suggestion.

The standing sequence is the same as Primary Series Part 1, this has more arm balancing and more difficult poses during the seated sequence.
