I love yoga nidra! Why is there not any yoga nidra time in the free classes? Do the paid membership classes have yoga nidra time? I think it is a very important part of yoga practice and should not be underemphasized. What are your thoughts on this? Oh, and by the way, I am so grateful for Yoga Today and the teachers are top notch. Flag as offensive

I agree. The vast majority of these classes are quite strenuous and don't have much relaxation time. I enjoy them a lot, but it would be nice to have more emphasis on 'cooling down' at the end of the class. Beginners and experienced practitioners could all benefit from a reminder of this vital aspect of yoga. Flag as offensive

The good news is new classes continue to be added every week (I've only had the chance to try one so far!) and they expect to be filming more this summer. Personally, I would like to see more classes with less chat thrown into the mix. karuna - "Simple stress reduction" uses yoga nidra towards the end.. I�m sure there are others. Most YogaToday classes conclude in savasana, and you are often encouraged to remain there for at least 5-10 more minutes. I don't always take the time to go into deeper meditation after class. But iif we can, that is an ideal time to do so Flag as offensive

This is a really good class for me. I like the centering exercise at the beginning very much. Also the "Plug in your arm way of thinking about various poses really made me move up in my poses. Neesha your way of explaining hub and edges works for me.

I think I can get quite addicted to this class, it just leaves me feeling so good: calm and content as well as toned. It has a lot of lunges and backbends, which are my favourite types of Yoga positions,this is so fun! Did it two nights in a row now.

The poses themselves weren't very challenging, but the call to pay attention to the core and edges at the same time was definitely challenging. I love how simple poses can still invite us to reconnect with our bodies in new ways.

Relaxing class. Although I had to modify some of the poses, the pace, breathing, and instruction were just right. I love the analogies that Neesha used throughout the class. It kept the class fun and also relaxed me. Neesha, this is yet another awesome class :)

Neesha has this ability to cue her students so that they can manipulate their bodies to maximize each posture. Even a common posture such as warrior II, if I close my eyes and follow her cues I can achieve more strengthening and sensation than normal. How fortunate I feel to have access to a world class instructor from my home.

I appreciate classes that explain the principles underlying the postures. This is one of my all time favorite classes. However, I would have liked this class more if some poses were held a second or two longer for example downward dog and forward fold. I also would have liked to see demonstrations for some of the more complex poses before I went into them. ~ a yoga novice.

I really enjoyed this class and will use it for my students to create a sense of connection! Why do we begin to feel separate in this world? It is often because we have lost our physical connection to our core, creating a sense of disconnect that is within and translates to those around us. That separateness is the cause for so much pain! Get connected to the inner essence of you to be able to feel the heart connection w others! Thanks so much Neesha!
