This is most definitely how yoga should always be, most of this class i had balanced out the muscles and progress when doing the more advanced guru classes and now feel more strength. Also a great true shoulder strengthener class with awesome breathing strategy to just build energy and really take advantage of all that toning available through out transition poses. One of my favourites definitely. Thank you

Nice to have a refresher of the foundation that more advanced poses stem from. I love the leg and arm strengthing focus to achieve a more balanced posture. The class is slow but needs to be for the mind to focus on the small nuance of each pose.

This is perfect for beginners and for those who may not have a solid foundation in the basics. I loved the focus on the way the muscles and joints should feel during each pose and how she stressed that in nature, growth only happens from a solid foundation. The work on balance and stability was something that I find missing in many yoga videos.

i thought it was a little too much talking at the beginning. I'm a beginner and i thought this was just a tad too easy but it's worth doing if you want a good stretch

Excellent back to basics class! First time level indeed... per description of the class. I am recommending it to all my friends that are not practicing yoga but would like to try.

It is slow paced, and I didn't mind it, focusing on breathing and my body. However, I could tell that she was a new instructor. Too many comments directed at soccer moms. That being said, she has some great concepts, and I think she will be a good teacher with more confidence. The mango bit was perfect yoga humor for me.

Great class for a person who's never practiced and would like the very basics. A little slow moving, not enough variety and too much talk for beginner +.

Definitely for the most basic of beginners. The flow was so slow that I turned it off.

Great class about foundations!

The tip about spreading the heels apart to keep the second toes parallel was a real breakthrough for me. This was easily the first time in 15 years I've done a lunge that felt good on my legs, rather than my knees feeling torn apart. Thank you Neesha!

Beautiful video on the importance of a solid muscular foundation. Very true Neesha that we need to build off of this!

Thanks for a great review. Love the setting

Nice relaxed class really focussing in on the basics.

Great flow. Even though it is a beginner class, it was a nice and easy sequence. Thanks for the reminders about straight backs, sometimes I forget. Peace, love and light. Namaste

A great class for beginners with no major sun salutations or poses. She teaches the core principles of alignment in basic beginner poses with her signature leg stretch at the beginning and end of class.

I'm fairly new to yoga and have just discovered YogaToday a couple of weeks ago. This class is great, no rush, Neesha gives clear instructions on how to build up the poses ... could do tree pose with hardly any wobbling :-) Thanks!

I've been coming to this website for about three years and when I see the word "beginner level" I sometimes think well I might be a little past that level. Well I'm a foolish middle aged Yogi and I always realize that after the class I continue to learn and enjoy being able to do the poses.

I am very new to yoga, and my husband is even more new. Today was my husbands first attempt at yoga and this yoga today class was just what he needed to feel comfortable trying something new! It was challenging for us newbies, but not challenging to the point of discouraging. My husband liked it enough to want to try it again tomorrow. Thank you. You helped my husband and I relax, strengthen our bodies, and have some bonding time. :)

I really enjoyed this class. I found the instruction clear and easy to follow. As a beginner, this class was simple to follow and provided an energizing, encouraging way to build a solid foundation. I especially liked the instructions for tree pose, drawing the opposite hip up before planting the foot. This was excellent for me to improve balance and successfully maintain this pose. Thank you so very much!

The instruction using the second toes for allignmet running parallel to the sides of the mat to make the # 11, and without moving your feet push front, back, in & out, were both new ideas to me. I'm hoping these are the kinds of ideas I can look forward to in future lessons! :-) Thanks Coach Neesha!

I'm an Ashtanga fanatic but with every Anusara class of Neesha's I do I'm getting more and more into Anusara!!! Nice class to revise the basics with.

As a beginner myself, I have enjoyed this class. I will be coming back once a week to incorporate into my workout routine!

She talks too much.

Mastering a SOLID foundation like this one, will set you up to do 4 or 5 hours of yoga. You can gain power and still be 110% relaxed.

As an instructor, it is so great to be able to take a class on strong foundations and alignment. I can never get enough, because as students of yoga, our core poses can always use fine tuning!

I didnt feel comfortable during the class. I think it doesnt matter how long one has been doing yoga, but the teacher needs to explains more every movement and position because she is saying one thing and the people that accompany her are doing something different and that is confusing.

i always love neesha! she helps make the practice more fun and helps you to understand the benefits of each position. this is great for strengthening your legs and arms and she tells you how you can do some of these positions anywhere! thank you!

This class is a great reminder of the "optimal" positions required for the various poses......I appreciate the refresher class and great instruction.

Neesha breaks every pose down thoroughly really emphasizing having awareness of your body. Her alignment tips are right on, her instruction will get you where you need to be. Loved the firming sensation that was created, especially in the legs. Also loved using props to enhance the experience.

Excellent foundation class for beginners. I'm probably novice level myself, and I didn't work up any sweat with this one--but that's okay! I was in the mood for a gentle, review-type class. Would be REALLY great for true beginners.

Neesha really helps me get these few basic poses right. I notice some limitation in my range and will be returning to this class to improve my flexibility and foundation. Thanks Neesha.

Even though it was my first time, I loved it!

This class is a great introduction to yoga and accessible to all. I am a little beyond a beginner but i like this for times when I need a nice, gentle practice.
