This class was solely focused (on the crown chakra) giving it a different feel than most which are typically full body despite the intention. I have to say that today was the most effortless headstand has ever been for me. Side note to myself - when at the beginning and end Adi offers a prop for seated centering/meditation use one (they are both lengthy).

Such a beautiful, meditative practice! Thank you, Adi!

Just finished the Chakra series. Would like to learn more.

Feeling the energy of the inverted poses and the peace of pranayama <3

The meditation aspect was expertly balanced by solid instruction on how to safely achieve headstand. I was able to balance against the wall for the first time. Thank you, Adi!

holy crap! I am forever changed after this session. thanks Adi !!!

at the end of the class I didn't even want to go for shavasana pose as I was feeling very relax and great at sitting meditation. Great Thanks to Adi and Yogatoday group for this calming moment.

Great combination of a few asanas, hamstring stretches, headstand, and meditation. Perfect for a day when I needed to build a bit of heat but wasn't up for a full hour of workout--and really needed to destress. I will definitely come back to this one.

Loved the meditation at the end... very restorative and relaxing practice. I wish I did this one at bedtime instead of in the morning!

This is an excellent, meditative class preparing you for headstands (optional, modifications are given). Starting with the seventh chakra introduction, the practice very mindfully moves through warmup, some (not many) sun salutations incorporating dolphin pose, then a series of wide legged forward bends held for 10 breaths each (you have the option of getting up to a tripod headstand if you have done it before). The class then moves to the wall for more shoulder openers and dolphins, and you are guided into a supported headstand. Adi then offers a chakra themed pranayama and guided light meditation before you finish in savasana. Very well thought out class with excellent instruction and mood.

This class is different from most of Adi's classes in that there isn't a lot of sun salutations and it isn't a class I'd want to do to open up my entire body and get a great "workout". It is, however, a great class! There is a lot of forward bending and Adi provides a lot of great instruction on headstand. I'd never done headstand at home before, but I was able to do it successfully today by following instruction. There is also a lot of breath work and meditation at the end, which is very calming.

This class was a great one to wind up the chakra series. The roominess of the sequence made for integration and balance. I especially loved the peak of the visualization; total yes! moment. Being upside down so much made me remember that I spent a lot of time hanging out upside down as a kid. So, I retrieved a bit of myself today! It was a very invigorating class, and I felt the cognitive wellness that Adi spoke of. Greatly appreciated the whole series. With gratitude~

and have great time. I stayed with dolphin pose because doing headstand is a pose to far for me to do alone. But I had a great class and its a beautifull finish of the chakra challenge. Thanks Adi and YogaToday for this journey.

Beautiful class. Thanks Adi.

If you're nervous about inversions, don't let that put you off this class. It has a calm, gentle pace and Adi provides plenty of helpful instructions for modifying and warming up to inversions. If you're not into inversions yet, this is still a great class for you. There's a longer-than-usual pranyama and meditation part at the end, which is really refreshing and soothing.

Both tri-pod and regular headstands in this. Really relaxing sequence at the end with breathing exercises bringing the breath up and down the spine.

Beautiful class. Especially enjoyed the pranayama and meditation.
