Cold January wanted class to stretch out. This would be a good Novice class too.

It is too bad, that you can't feel the wind through your computer screen. It would have given extra plus to this class.

I really enjoy the Novice level classes for the alignment instructions on basic poses. I really benefitted from the directions of tilting the sit bones up in the downward dog and standing forward bend positions. I liked the longer than normal duration for holding the poses, too. Neesha cracked me up with her comments on "Monkey Toes". Also, at the start of the video I was dealing with very stiff hip flexors, but they were completely relaxed by the end of the video. Awesome.

I love Neesha's classes, Her pace and grace is great and this class really brings you back to the FUNdamentals of yoga posture. A relaxing class with some really awesome moves. The Bridge was particularly good, I didn't realise I could do that position better, and I did. Thank you!

I'm just starting to practice again after taking a break for a while and this was the perfect class for me today. I love Neesha's positivity and thorough instruction. This class allowed me to refresh my understanding of the basic poses as well as getting some muscle strengthening action. It was intense enough for me to work up a bit of a sweat, but still very slow, basic, and relaxing. Final relaxation was wonderful. I feel refreshed and relaxed.

Playful yet challenging. Yoga for the sake of play... "because you can", as Neesha said. Love her teaching style.

I've never enjoyed a down dog sequence so much! For the first time ever I felt the curve of my back and pointed sit bones while my legs were straight and my heels grazing the floor! Delicious!

This class was a moving meditation for me cultivating an enhanced body awareness. Neesha's specialty is talking yogis through finite alignment principles which always enhances each posture. Although there aren't many asanas in this sequence there is a lot of mental yoga. Worth doing.

After practicing for years, it is always nice to find a good, basic class that hones in on proper alignment and posture. There's always something new to learn in a "novice" class; for me in this one, it was a few little tricks to get kinks out in folding forward bend.

Wonderful. Good hip, back and shoulder popping. :)

I drew lines on my feet!! great class.

Great class to just stretch out and loosen up. Even though I've practiced for years, I always find some advancement in the novice classes. There's always room to grow.

Although most of the poses were held quite a while, the flow in this class was still perfect. Neesha was continually giving suggestions for adjusting within each hold so there was constant, quiet action occurring which made the time just slip by. There was plenty of hamstring opening in this one. A beautiful class.

I'm post knee surgery and this is a great class to get me back at it!

I just love Neesha's teaching style! Her instructions/tips always help me get more out of each pose and let me know I'm performing each one correctly. I didn't realize what a good workout this class was until I had finished: My legs are a little shaky! But I didn't feel overworked while the class was going on, because the pace was nice and slow. I think this would be a great workout for novices and/or more advanced yogis who want a slightly less intense workout.

unfortunately this video would not play for me. I would get it going for about 7 minutes and then it would just stop and go to replay. :-(

Even if you are advanced, but feeling a bit stiff, this class is great. In a nice pace going through some important poses. Grounded and awake, that's how I feel now.

If you're looking to get back to the basics, this class spells everything out. The poses are held for quite a while, so it can be challenging at times to stay with the pose and breath. Great beginner class.
