Kiss the Edge of Challenge : Preparation for Visvamitrasana

brilliant, thank you Adi :)

And there's enough in there (triangles, pigeon) to make it effective and releasing even if (like me) you're still mostly pretending on the bound poses. The sun salutes are fast, but modified and a bit more gentle. Can't do bow (yet), but I love flipping the dog! Good sweat.

really opens the hips

I had no idea that this one would become one of my favorite yoga classes ever! I love that it's challenging but do-able, and I can tell that there's still room for me to get better in this class alone. It works your entire body, and I always feel so good after this class. Thanks, Adi!

15 - 20 minutes heat building. (Bound) triangle pose balances. Need block or more flexibility - and lots more arm strength. Bird of paradise(?) - bound triangle, feet together, lift bound leg.

I will have fun revisiting this class after I have gained more time on the yoga mat. I definitely modified, but found there were some actions, if I just tried, that I could do (even when I was certain they were impossible for me)! Grand!

thank you for distracting me from a mentally stressful day!

What a challenging class! Lovely flow and beautiful asanas. Although I wasn't able to go into the full pose for the challenging asanas I still enjoyed this wonderful class! I feel great! Thanks Adi, you are inspiring!

These challenges were fun! Still a ways to go :) Thank you Adi.

This class was a tough but fun and invigorating challenge. I feel stretched out and I definitely explored my edge. Thanks Adi!!

Adi is such an amazing teacher- I suddenly found myself in two crazy bound poses that I'd never even attempted before! My only criticism is that the opening flow was super, super rapid, and I didn't really get a chance to warm up. If you are doing this first thing in the morning or are more stiff, I'd suggest doing some slow sun salutes on your own first. There is a 5 minutes corpse/meditation at the end, so it's actually a rather short class.

The pace, the flow, how Adi guides you into asanas you never knew you could do. I'm blown away!

For those days when its OK not to achieve it all. Remember a block.

That's all I've got. I'm spent. Some poses still a great challenge for me, but actually able to 'try" them. Namaste.

the best part is " accepting the challenge & obstacles with non-attachment thru regular practice for long uninterrupted periods of time." what a great Yogatoday's contribution.. thanks to all <3

This class has great flowing sequences that involve a peppering of difficult postures like Bird of Paradise and Visvamitrasana. Although challenging in some places, I found it was fast paced and not overly difficult, I couldn't believe it was already over at the end! Will likely revisit this one again. :)

Adi indeed takes you there step by step so you don't get frustrated and end up getting further then you'd have imagined. I still feel so far from these arm balances, but who knows one day...

I loved this class: challenging, quick pace. Suggestion for improvement would be to have the camera close up for the more difficult poses, to help in seeing details. Thanks!

First of all Thank God it was 50 min. Well I loved holding the downward facing dog for longer than usually , flipping the dog was just amazing. Loved the flow . Hard class no doubt. Will have to do it again and again till I managed to straighten the legs in certain poses. Great class Adi as always. Namaste

Today's class was a challenge but as always, Adi provides excellent cuing and encouragement. I'll need to do this class a few more times before I can say I mastered it.!!! LOL!

great class, with very good pace, great for the cold winter. It builds heat and it calms. Quite challenging and I will surely come back to it because I know I have a lot to learn from this class.

This class was challenging, with interesting sequences, but Adi's teaching made it easy to go through the class without judgement. I especially appreciated the lesson of remaining flexible when faced with challenges. Nice, long savasana at the end.
