Embodying the Breath

Breathing. Once again Neesha's great tips. Deliberate poses.

Neesha holds poses in this class and the strength and focus required create focus and can be intense. But everything else definitely melts away because concentration is required to follow her alignment guidance - "pull into your core," "move shins closer without moving them at all" - at this slower pace. Everything is worked. I think both my mind and body broke a light sweat with this one, the more gradual pace notwithstanding. Four stars only due to relative lack of modifying cues.

From the beginning - the extended sitting meditation/awareness. The slower pace of moving through the poses with detailed descriptions of the placement of our body and the coordination with our breath. Maybe because the class is focused on the breath I was better able to find a natural flow. Many of the newer classes move through the poses and the breath a little quicker than I naturally would. Awesome class, Neesha!

Yet another excellent practice from Neesha. I just love her detailed instructions/tips, which help me get the most out of an at-home practice. And I just did my second crane balance this week (so I know the first one wasn't a fluke). Woo hoo! :)

I love this lesson. Neesha always has great suggestions for refining your practice that you can use in all your poses. I especially appreciated the lesson about the hands in this practice!

This sequence felt well balanced and logically progressing. Feel energized, flexible and strong after doing the class. Will do again!

Great class focused on breath awareness. Thank you, Neesha!
