I always love Adi's class for her straightforward instruction and calm air. This class was a refreshing and challenging flow - perhaps more of a challenge than some that are labeled as "Guru". My whole body feels heat from this class - ending the class with the 10 seated breaths really grounded me.

I feel difference of my breath after this class. My breath deeper and more expanded than before. Thank you Adi!

This was a moderate in difficulty flow class that had a different flavor than I had gotten from Adi before. A nice deviation from the strict primary series. Very effective for loosening through the hips.

I love this flow, but it isn't easy for me. I find side planks challenging to hold so long, and my hips protest at the "rock the baby" openers and lifting the heel out to the side in the forward fold. However, Adi is a master at balancing these hot, fiery poses with cooling, calming drishti and breath cues. Her gentle guidance helps me maintain equanimity as I reach what I thought was my edge... with the right breath and the gaze, I can persist enough to just a little beyond where I thought I was "stuck." Yoga Today classes have really helped my form and my overall practice, and I am so grateful I found this site.

Nice practice, but not really novice-accessible, IMHO. Faster paced, not much instruction on positioning, etc. I also found the breath counting to be distracting, because I was efforting too much, could not breathe as slowly as Adi! Would've been better if she had said "on an exhale, do this" instead of telling me that I should only be inhaling/exhaling once in a given (long!) time period.

Great class :) Very relaxing and challenging.

lovely and restorative. thank you adi :)

Thanks Adi and Yoga today for another focused and mindful practice.

The constant reminder about drishti and breath really calmed my mind and body. I found this class quite challenging - I was sweating like crazy after the vasisthasana seqeunce (perhaps it was the heat in my apartment though :) Also, a great reclining hip opening sequence at the end.

This was a solid class, but too much talking. I can understand the cues...

This was a solid class, but too much talking. I can understand the cues about drishti, but was counting out loud all 10 breaths in the meditative seat at the end really necessary? Distracting.

good for the hips!

I love all the new classes, and this was the best one yet. Thank you Adi.
