This wasn't as focused on shoulders as I'd expected, but it was a nice general set. This one is not terribly challenging cardiovascularly, but it has plow, which is emotionally challenging (scary) for me and I enjoyed the opening that brought.

Delicious

I feel this openness across my collar bones that I just love. I also have this calmness about me that makes me feel ready for anything. Thanks for a great class, Adi and Yoga Today.

Feel very Relaxed. Just what I needed. Modified some of the poses. (Glad for the suggestions). Loved doing the mantra.

This was a good morning class for me. I usually practice in the late afternoon or evening because I get so stiff. The pace of this class was slower and gentle. The mantra helped keep me present and centered. This was so valuable before I face a stressful day. The shoulder opening is great for warding off tension headaches that build from working at my desk all day. This class isn't a huge workout, but if you are paying attention to keeping alignment and proper muscle action it does the trick. Thanks Adi!

Not a terribly strenuous practice, but that was exactly when I needed toay. I really enjoyed the discussion about the mantra meditation as well as the reminders throughout. Shoulder stand has always been a challenge for me and I felt like the instructions were clear, enabling me to achieve it more easily than I ever have.

This is an excellent class for swimmers. The flow is gentle and really works on opening the shoulders and relaxing the neck. This class will stay in my que.

This class wasn't quite challenging enough for me... BUT I was amazed by how open my shoulders were by the time we got to karnapidasana...bravo! I also like the "so hum" mantra...it brought me back to my breath. Thanks Adi.

This is my first practice for a week and it was perfect to get me back into the swing, thanks.

Lots of hamstring stretches to go with the shoulder opening.

Adi teaches by example; I love her classes but especially these gentle, meditative practices. Enjoyed Adi's little talk at the beginning of the class that set the tone for the entire class, and the pranayama at the end - wish it had been longer. Thanks Adi!

I found this chest and shoulder openers really deepening my breath, in conjunction with the mantra. This whole series has been wonderful, and this class is no exception. Thanks, Adi.
