In todays video, you say to hold our wrists together and to not put our head into palms for the headstand and to anchor our forearms to the ground and shoulders on the back. It was very challenging to hold balance and an interesting change. Are there reasons for the 'new' headstand? Flag as offensive

HI Jody, The wrists don't need to be all the way together, but the forearm bones should be stacked on top of one another. I see that when people put their head in their hands, more often than not the forearms roll out and shoulders lose integration, therefore putting pressure on the neck. It is not a "new" headstand for me, I have always learned and taught it this way. I loved Norway! I just posted on my blog if you want to see what I thought about your country... http://neeshazollinger.blogspot.com/2010/11/norwegian-kindness-and-charm.html Flag as offensive

What a wonderful class! With Neesha's typical excellence in alignment instruction, we are led safely through many strengthening poses, including headstand prep and headstand (I'm not quite there yet, but soon). There is some very nice core and back work. I feel stretched and strong. Placed in my queue!

Super class. Great prep for headstand, even my modified version with props. Never did it with such ease. Loved the prep for shavasana at the end. My body was instantly ready for it, no further adjustment needed.

My body really knows that I practiced yoga after this one. So strong and relaxed all in the same moment. There were plenty of strengthening postures in this sequence but not over done making it a great full body choice.

True, there wasn't a lot of warm-up, but in this class I don't think it was needed. The class was quite gentle, and perfect, I think, for a beginner. I'm not a beginner, but coming back to yoga after a year at a sedentary job with little to no exercise. I'm in worse shape than when I started yoga the first time, and I found this to be a good introductory class. I've had better, but I love having the variety offered and think this belongs in any beginning yoga collection.

Stunning photography. Concise and detailed instructions from Neesha makes even doing a full or half shoulder stand for beginners like me easy and effortless. Thank you again for a great workout, Neesha. Thank you Yogatoday for making this so accessible for others around the world.

This is my first time using the free class so maybe I am just not used to the classes on yogatoday. But doing this in the morning I never really got warm. The discussion about freedom took up as much if not more time than the actual instruction and the class was moving at such a slow pace that the blood never really starting moving through my body. I was disappointed about the level of workout for a "yogi" level course...
