Good lessons on where and how to place shoulder blades on the back. As I'm not a guru, I was happy I had done Neesha's Core Work class yesterday to learn about pulling the sides of the abdomen back as in cat-tilt while moving the heart forward. This helped me protect my back in the backbends although my low back still tended to pinch. A class to which I will aspire!

This class is not difficult- not a terribly hard Yogi level. I also did not find the postures using the wall at the beginning helpful. However, there was some great flow focusing on really opening up the back and the shoulders.

Also works the fronts of the hips. Begins at the wall with some shoulder strengtheners/openers, then sunsals with anjaliasna vairations and on with a twist. Adi gives great instructions. No advanced asanas, but longer holds. A fabulous backbending class. Thanks Adi!

Really nice heart and shoulder openers

I really loved this video, I felt like it opened up my tight shoulders and hips. I really like how the poses progressed throughout the class. I felt fantastic afterwards!

I like this class very much but I have to say I miss the open air! That makes me feel like I am outside, looking at the beatiful landscape! Apart for this, the class is great!

So oxygenating!!

This was a warming class that had a little bit of everything - not just a backbending class. There were no particularly difficult poses, just long holds - so this could be suitable for all yogis.

Adi does some amazing shoulder opening work in this class. That's something that I can always use. Don't let the "guru" level scare you away. This one is for everyone.

This class is a back bending/shoulder opening class with lots of instruction. Because of some deep lunges, it does get into the hips, but don't expect a Guru hip opening class. Some nice back strengthening poses, and a refreshing approach to back bends.
