This class is exactly what I needed to open and stretch my hips. What a great hour. Thank you.

really intense hip flexor work. Also, a nice long guided corpse pose; making this a rather short class.

It was a tough class for me -- much of the hip opening instruction was really hard, but I really enjoyed the depth of this class and the prolonged efforts with opening the pelvis. I loved the long savasana!

Big focus on juicy luscious pelvis. Was nice, but I think I wasn't in the mood for the slow grounding vibe, so suggest it as an evening class

Neesha's instructions are top-notch!

Love this class.

Loved the class and the focus on grounding. Especially liked how Neesha stayed with us though Savasana rather than leaving it up to us to stay in this important pose. Not too happy about the ad before and after the class. Thought this was ad free!

Being a new mom I have found that I don't give myself enough permission to take care of "me" and recently my hips have done most of the suffering. This class saved me. It was a reminder of what just one hour a day can do for not only your soul but for your body. My hips feel so much better and I feel more energized to play with my baby girl. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful, grounding practice. I'm in the process of moving house and this is just what I needed to help me feel centered amidst the chaos! Definitely my favorite so far!

This class is all about stimulating grounding energy. I was able to release stuck energy from my hips. A great class for an autumn morning or any time of personal change. Thanks Neesha.

The way I feel upon completion of this class is extremely calm and clear headed. This was definately a gift. I am now ready for whatever the remainder of this day (possibly even week) holds for me. Thank you Neesha.

Excellent class. Excellent hip openers. Thank you Neesha for the guidance to focus on my inner grounding. I especially liked the guided mediitation in corpse pose at the end.

The poses were definitely effective, but there was way too much pointless talking, not enough variety and instructions weren't clear. I stopped halfway through because I just wasn't able to relax and focus properly.

After just starting to bike to work (6 miles a day), I really needed this! Also, I really liked the guided savasana. I often skip it or only stay till the credits end because it's hard to figure out how to time it. (I also once fell asleep which makes me a bit wary of staying too long!)

Slow steady pace, detailed helpful instructions (as always), holding poses, and practicing 'dying' at the end ;).

I fell about a week ago and since then have had a bunch of congestion (for lack of a better word) in my hip flexors. I had fallen out of my yoga practice, so, when I came to yoga today this week, I was thrilled to see the class focusing on exactly what I needed

I felt neutral about the practice - until I went for a run

What a perfect solution for sore quads in the beginning of trail running season. The long duration of the quad stretches really helped elongate after working out knots with the foam roller. The front splits were perfect for relieving runner's hamstrings gently. I'm hoping to spend more time on my mountain bike without heavy quads. I appreciate your videos Neesha.

are you kidding me? ha :)

Great class. Fantastic Savasana.

Great Hip openers, especially for tight Illio-Psoas muscles and tendon. Also thank you for talking us through Svasana! That really made my practice soar.

dealing with an infant and a toddler who refuses to go to bed at a decent hour...this is just what I needed to ground myself and recharge. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was a little advanced for me at this stage of just getting back into yoga...but I guess that's not the practice's fault! looking forward to this again throughout the week!

This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review on Yoga Today. Neesha is always wonderful, but I enjoyed this practice even more than usual! Highly recommended for centering and grounding.

This class was just what it says... centering using hip openers. I was very thrilled at the technical work that was necessary to do each stretch with fullness. Thank you.

I find value in every class by all 3 instructors. Each offers a completely different style of yoga, a different personality, a different way of being with the body and with the soul. I am so grateful for Neesha, Adi, and Sarah. They are my teachers. Namaste.

Though I loved the relaxation at the end - I feel like it made the moving practice time feel shorter. That amount of relaxation would have been awesome in a 90 minute class - but I wish there were more poses in this practice!

A great class for when you feel you just need to chill out and get centered. The alignment cues are quite technical, but excellent - my pelvis and lower back are open and my legs feel extremely 'juicy' :)

I definitely feel very grounded after this class. Great class for a less challenging day (for me at least) Love the instructions for bringing the heel to the butt and pressing back the inner thigh/ keeping thigh back. Also loved the shins in thighs out reminders....I got surprisingly deep into extended side angle. REALLY opened the hips. Savasana included at end. I wish ALL YogaToday classes had full savasana. Namaste

Just what I needed after a few too many days without yoga. Great stretches, enough to build some internal heat without actually breaking a sweat. Lovely extended savasana.

I'm training for a half-marathon so the stretching through the legs and hips felt really great. I love the guided Savasana.

Thank you Neesha for this class. It really helped me feel and breath into tightness in my upper outer quadriceps. And the extended guided shivasana was a welcome addition to the YogaToday class format. Delightful!

This class really helped me to regain openness in the hips after cycling and running a lot this week, and I enjoyed the dialogue during savasana. Thanks Neesha!

Thank you so much Neesha for this amazing and grounding class. I have been appreciating the details of her Anusara technique so much. I feel like the space that I am creating in my body as well the understanding that I am acquiring is very helpful--especially for anyone suffering from depression or anxiety.

I am a yoga teacher myself, but I like to take other people's classes for inspiration. Neesha always inspires me, and especially with this class. I have used my inner thigh muscles and pelvis in a way I hadn't experienced before! I feel great. Thank you!

It's usually when I'm midway through a routine and wishing I could stop that I know I've found what I really need. Neesha's instruction can be a bit challenging (esoteric) to follow, but it results in the most profound pelvic shift I've felt in a long time. Nice...

I have cerebral palsy which makes my muscles tight, especially my hips - my pelvis thinks I am wearing heels all the time. I've done yoga for 3 years now, mainly Iyengar classes but also plenty of Yoga Today ones and this has got to be the best so far for having an immediate noticeable improvement in my posture and how my muscles feel.

I never knew I wanted juicy pelvis, but it turned out I do! My whole lower body felt more grounded than usual in savasana and I always find that Neesha's hip opening classes make my lower back feel free.

This is a thorough class with lots of opportunities for deep muscle work and deep stretching, especially in the legs. It's incredibly calming, grounding, and centring. Beautiful! Really leaves you with a strong, sturdy sense of self.

Great class today - exactly what I needed to release the tension in my pelvis, hips and thighs. And as a bonus, my sinuses are now open and I can breathe freely! Woohoo!!

i really enjoyed this class from neesha- the way the poses moved out stagnant energy in the pelvis and hips was great. i've been doing a lot of biking and walking, and this class was perfect for stretching and strengthening the leg muscles. =)

Felt grounded and calm about the week ahead. Thank you!

Love Neeshas ability to take the concept one step further. :)

This was a very different class for Neesha-no culminating pose. As usual, extremely precise and helpful instruction. This class is deeply grounding and introspective. With all my heart, I thank YOU Neesha for bringing your gift to a wider community through Yoga Today. Namaste.

This was my first class for a few weeks and it was just what I needed. Slow and relaxing with a long savasana at the end.
