I am a huge Yoga Today fan and user...but this was the first video I quite halfway though because it wasn't doing anything for me. I do enjoy slow and deliberate classes, but this one didn't evolve or build (in terms of poses) as it progressed.

A very strong layered class with red thread leading us to the grand finale. This class works if you are willing to ´be` in every moment.

Excellent, deep, challenging class. My pelvis was flat as a pancake after this and it felt great!

I found this class difficult to follow because it was hard to determine what was descriptive verses what was directive. You really had to watch along with what she was doing vrs being able to simply listen.

This was difficult to follow. It seemed that the student Jim was doing the pose differently than the instruction. Disappointing.

Maintaining cat tilt with shoulders on the back was the common theme throughout. My back (which has been achy for awhile now) felt so protected and my core was nicely worked. A gently strengthening class as poses held longer so focus could be on the core. "Friend of the Universe" pose was crazy! How did they do that???

This was not, overall, a satisfying class for me. Sometimes Neesha's chatting is really great, but I found it distracting here. I didn't get a real sense of flow, and the class tended to drag. However, it offered some great tips for working the shoulders onto the back, might be very helpful for someone working towards handstands and who has a hard time keeping shoulders on the back.

I was pooped 51 minutes in. There is no part of my body that wasn't engaged with this practice. Thank you.

LOVE this core strengthening class! I felt so much stronger in the poses than usual. It will be interesting o bring this skill off the mat to the rest of my life as I embark on a lot of potentially stressful changes in life. Thanks Neesha!

Why Neesha is awesome - She really gives wonderful descriptions of how each pose should feel. I find tips in her sessions that are the key to unlocking the poses for me. I also love the bits of Spirituality woven in. Keep it up, Neesha!

Good instructions except at end not sure I quite got "friend of the universe" pose

The constant reminder to cat tilt and draw back the outer shoulder blades was great to get deeper and more solidly into the poses. The friends of the universe pose was fun as well. Overall a good class, I would have liked a bit more warm up and then I think I could have gone even deeper into the poses.

Awesome class, great ab work!

Wonderful! Inspired me to go further than before : )

I enjoyed most of the class and appreciate Neesha's attention to the specifics of alignment. Using the "cat" reminder through the class was very useful. But a problem I had, which comes up often in Yoga Today classes, is not being quite warm enough to go into some of the deeper stretches. When we did Warrior II, there hadn't been adequate inner thigh/groin stretches before doing the pose. I felt really tight and uncomfortable going into it. Perhaps this can be a consideration for future classes. thanks!

I am still amazed at what tuning into the core and finding correct alignment can accomplish. I am a friend of 'friend of the universe pose' :) Thanks Neesha and class yogis!

Poses, pace and teaching wonderful (as usual Neesha)!! Sound was a bit difficult though-background noise and sound control of Neesha's voice made it harder to follow.

a powerful class-wow, wow, wow.....! after that class i did an easy & perfect (i think) backbend without even having to try. the best one in fact since i was a teenager which was a while ago. i'm so proud, this made my day neesha thanks to you! namaste eleni

This is a well rounded class. If you have ever wished you could stay in forward fold longer - knowing you could get deeper if so then this is for you. All poses are several breaths.

Loved this class- not just core work but a great mix of lengthy, intense stretches to really loosen you up. Definitely one of my favourites!

Good core sequence and hip openers. Slow, deliberate pace. Background noise occasionally distracting.
