My favorite by Adi so far. Don't be shy to try if you're still a 'yogi,' gives you something to build towards with plenty you should still be able to handle. Thorough and enriching.

Thank you Adi, great practice! I have done it twice already, It's a practice I can do again and again... until I master to swing my body from the arm balancing asana to chaturanga dandasana... not easy! :)))

This may be my favorite class so far. Helpful for myself and also to possibly help my students deepen with additional tips to more challenging poses.

realize more appreciation of yoga after bigger challenge. thanks, Adi

Adi takes you on another great journey. Thanks.

Adi does it again! Both a challenging and peaceful class. I loved the poses - not many yoga teachers help their students through these poses. I also loved the meditation at the end. Such a great way to end a long week! Thanks Adi.

I was very excited to try this class, even though I knew I'd not be able to do all poses. Just trying was great. I recall that when I was first trying to teach myself crow pose two years ago, I used to fall head first into a pile of pillows. All the time! Then one day, I was just able to hold it. I'm hoping the new arm balances here will be similar. For now, I'm very content to just try. Beautiful flow of class. Another lovely Adi class!

This practice was too hard for me, but I'll get there one day. I'll report back! Thanks, Yoga Today, for challenging me. I have a practice now, though not guru.

Finally a video with new, fun challenges. Though I didn't achieve all the balances, just trying was worth it. Plus I took myself lightly so I got a few laughs at topling out of the poses. Adi- how about a 90 minute class in this direction? Maybe not add anymore arm balancing :) but adding some core in addition to what exists would be brilliant.

I found the moves beyond my level but was able to use other yoga postures instead to still find benefit. Loved the ending meditation.

This is a guru class for sure for 3 reasons: 1. The difficulty of the moves/arm balances, 2. The brevity of instruction (not many details for those who haven't done these moves before) 3. The distance the camera is away from Adi and the other women. It would be hard to replicate what Adi is doing by looking. For the gurus who want to sweat it up, this is it!

This is one of my favourits, finding this level of class just right for me. Loving that you now have these Guru Level classes, practicing more advanced regularly is delicious :))) Thank you!!!

What a fantastic class - I learned of new ways to clearly help my students into these postures. Thank you!

I recommend watching this in advance so you know what's coming (and to marvel at Adi's graceful mastery of it!). This is an ambitious series of arm balances that should have all but the most advanced students challenged. Gets the blood pumping and the sweat flowing!

A fun class that went by quickly, That's a good sign. The last 10 minutes is Yoga Nidra. Challenging.

This class is great Adi - this has been the most challenging for me to date and has given me something to return and work on for sure.

Great challenging class, but peaceful throughout! The ending adds the perfect balance. Will do this class many times again, thank you.

very peaceful ending Adi, you make it appear so effortless transitioning into the different arm balances- thank you for inspiring me

I had to work hard to practice ahisma with this one. But, I will keep coming back as this is an excellent reference on arm balancing and a workout whether you can reach full expression on the poses or not. And the shavasana is fantastic.

This was a great class. I have repeated it several times and can now do eka pada bakasana thanks to Adi...it has always eluded me until now. Thank you so much for these beautiful and inspiring classes!!!

Amazing class. Fast and intense. Challenging and rewarding. I don't know if it was the arm balancing or the yoga nidra, but I felt AMAZING after this class...like I had just had a massage. Yoga nidra slowed my breathing and calmed my nervous system to the point that I felt like I was asleep, but I was totally conscious. Amazing. Thanks Adi :)

What a wonderful combination of challenging postures while focusing on keeping a calm mind and steady breath. Although I couldn't physically perform a number of the postures to their fullest, the smile in Adi's voice encouraged me to do my best and I could see myself doing them in my mind. This class is inspiration enough to practice every day. Thank you.

This was awesome! I could do more than I thought I would be able to. I am def going to keep doing this practice.

Great class that is something to aim for. Although I couldn't do all of the poses I still found it a great practise. I enjoyed the hip openers too. Thanks Adi.

I am able, after a long rehab from a broken cervical vertebrae ,to do crow and side crow and even the last arm balance, but I definitely had to fake a few in the middle. Fun! ve to work on some of the middle balances. I

Thanks, Adi! This class was challenging and energizing. I particularly appreciated the many hip opening poses included throughout, and the long, relaxing yoga nidra at the end. I feel fantastic after this class.

Fun to try and perhaps have a glimpse of where your my body needs to go to get to the advanced poses. The savasana at the end was exquisite! Thanks

Very challenging and fun class. Like some of my fellow posters, had a pretend quite a bit. I'm sure with time and many visits back to this class, I will eventually get there.

This class was challenging, yet a lot of fun. A lot to aspire to! I also loved the yoga mudra in the end. Brilliant!

This was a great workout. I have been practicing yoga almost daily with Yogatoday.com since April of this year and have finally mastered crow pose, but now have many more challenging arm balance poses to work towards. Thank you for your continually challenging me to strive for more! I love how my yoga practice is improving my strength, concentration, and focus in so many aspects of my daily life! Thanks again Yoga Today!

Amazing class. I cerainly can't do all of that right now but I'll keep coming back to this one. The yogi sleep at the end is great too- I didn't really want to come out of it!

This is a really challenging class but it was fun to be able to at least giving it a try. For me, there were a lot of pretending moments. Arm balancing poses (like the crane/crow) have always been a problem for me but I am hoping one day, I would be able to do most if not all of the poses you've demonstrated here. Thanks again for everything. Namaste. Also, I am not sure if it's just me experiencing the problem or not but for the first 17 mins, the audio does not catch up with the picture (the narration is ahead) and then later, the problem seems to have corrected itself. I will try it again and let you know if the problem persisted. Thanks again.

this is a great guru class! I will do this one again to keep working toward these challenging poses. helpful instruction. thanks!
