I am strong in the shoulders, and I can hardly move my arms the day after doing this :-). Great for me, as someone who needs more detailed, concrete instruction on inversions.

Wall Availability a Must

This class was really informative and GREAT for people wanting to strengthen the core to achieve trickier inversions! I should do it every week so maybe one day I can have the confidence to stay longer in some of the poses!

Even as a child I was fearful of inversions and so have come a long way in overcoming that fear thanks to Yoga Today. Every once in awhile I make myself do an inversion class and thanks to the quality of instruction have seen physical and mental progress. This was a no nonsense sequence perfect for my intention.

Really tough start! Great class.

Good time for practicing arm balances

Didn't expect it, but so glad I stuck with it. Feel fantastic

Whew! This class was awesome. Starts at the wall and Adi builds heat quickly with some preparation to build the foundation of your inversion poses. Then some sun salutes culminating in to bird of paradise and some donkey kicks, which prepares you to come back to the wall to attempt hand stand, forearm stand, and head stand. Loved it!

This class begins at the wall with handstand and forearm balance prep. Moves into sun salutes and I fairly intense standing low culminating in bird of paradise--which built heat and flexibility for handstand, forearm balance, and headstand. I was able to do handstand and forearm balance at the wall for the very first time...thanks Adi! And the long headstand with leg variations was FUN and rewarding. Great class :)

But SO inspiring for a non-guru who fears being upside down. I almost did handstand next to the wall today for the first time and realized, while attempting it, that my donkey kicks were higher and better than ever. This class gives me so much to aspire to and I'm excited about it!

Thank you Adi! What a tremendous practice on inverted poses. My crown chakra is buzzing! Class started out differently than most of Adi classes and there was a lot of emphasis on the wall - but it was perfectly suited to the poses. Lots of diverse poses - even bird of paradise. Thanks again yogatoday!

Thanks!!

I have been wavering in my yoga practice lately but this class revived my desire! Inversions are so inspiring and delightful for me, and an entire class centered around them was such a joy. Even if you are just beginning inversions, Adi gives plenty of modifications so this one is for everyone! Enjoy!

loved it!!! it begins strong with handstand and forearm stand modifications against a wall. and ends strong with a long held headstand! one gets to practice bird or paradise, a sequence of 3 navasana-handstands, some twists and sun salutations along the way. so energizing and empowering

This class breaks down handstand, forearm stand, and headstand...giving modifications along the way. A few sun salutations and some wall work at the beginning to open up the shoulders in preparation. Excellent

This class starts out pretty intensely, and is wonderful for practicing handstands and dolphin headstand. Awesome!

This was so hard, but I loved the challenge!

Challenging, energizing, and detoxifying. Thanks Adi!
