I'd say this class is more for intermediate than gurus. I easily modified standing splits and hanumanasa for my needs. My hips and quads feel great!

i love this class. it's a great sequence that always gets me into my deepest, strongest hanumanasana.

If you're looking for a class that opens up your hips, strengthens while it relieves tension, and gives you a sense of empowerment, you've found it. Even if you believe that hanumanasana is a physical impossibility for you, try this class! There are plenty of full body strengthening, hip opening poses before the final hanumanasana, and variations once you arrive in hanumanasana. Personally, I keep coming back to this one (it lives in my yoga queue!).

Great Class for hips and legs

I LOVE this class, and I do it a few times a month. Thanks Neesha!!!!

This is a fast pace flury of poses and stretches leading into splits. It all works very well in that by the time you get to the splits your body is more than ready. I love love love that we did the pose 3 seperate times, it really allowed me to work into a deeper version.

Deep opening for hamstrings. Lovely.

Great instructions...my hamstrings and hip flexors are open and happy :)

mmmmm that felt good thankyou.

This is a great class especially if you have tight hips! I highly recommend it and as a bonus Neesha is witty and you can't help but smiling.

This was a good class. I am not "guru" level, more like intermediate, but I was able to follow along without a problem. I could not go into the spilt in the end, not completely, but I was able to do as well and the young man in the video. I especially enjoyed the standing splits, and with Neesha's instructions I was able to do those better than I have before. This is a great workout for someone who runs. You really stretch your hips and hamstrings. The only thing I don't care for is how much Neesha talks. She gives great direction, but sometimes her talking can be distracting. I think it goes along with the Anusara style, but I have a hard time focusing on the pose and my breath because of it. She really is a great teacher and you can feel her energy, which is no easy task on a video.

Very well high passed class with great hip opening poses .Thank you 1

I really enjoyed this class, bought it for further help with my hips which are very sore in the joints and 'pop' a lot. This actually works out and tones the entire body, I felt and gets a lot of blood rushing to the brain, very cleansing. The final Hanumanasana poses I was unprepared for still, though. It was hard for me to get my heel stretched forward without a lot of wiggling and inching backwards with the other foot! But Neesha is always so fun, I'll just have to keep trying...

She hit all of my favorite poses. And I can't wait to be able to do the full Hanumanasana. :) Awesome, awesome class.

overall a worthwhile class. About 2/3 of the way through the practice, I began experiencing sharp, achy soreness in the hip flexor region of both hips. This happens to me frequently in classes where a lot of lunging is done. Not sure if this is common to other folks, and i'm thinking it is probably due to several factors. 1) I'm not in my peak shape--although I am healthy and in good shape, I'm not where I once was..haha! never thought I'd see the day where I started saying that. 2) I am likely holding tension somewhere near or around my hips causing this soreness... Also, by the second round of the pose of the day, I started experiencing a headache, so I was sure to tune into my breath, and I actually ended up cutting the third round a bit short. After sivasana, my headache is mostly gone though. I'm not worried about it. any other thoughts on the matter of the hip flexors? many thanks to the YT crew :)

This helped me on my way to opening my hips- I needed this after a day of working and sitting. :) Thank you!

Guru level is accurate and this is a fantastic class for going deep into the upper leg, hip, and butt muscles. Neesha does a great job of reminding about the smaller details (knees towards each other, for example) that really help to open up the muscles and deepen the poses. Expect to sweat if you're moving to your full ability but you'll feel so relaxed afterwards!

My hips feel more open than EVER before! I am definitely not a guru but Neesha's gradual hip, hamstring, and pelvic opening throughout the class enabled me to move deeper than I thought possible. Her use of props and tips on accomplishing the poses were incredibly helpful. The flow was fast in this one!

Have done this one a couple of times, and it's one that you can do many times. I'm amazed at how I my inner hips, especially, are opened up, and the splits are actually possible (at least on one side!!). Also, LOVE the storytelling in this class. Pure Anusara!

I'll be coming back to this class to continue building more body balance, leg strength and flexibility :)

Just an awesome session, thank you so much Neesha!

I actually was able to do the splits at the end! Amazing! Great class.

I'm always surprised how i can almost do the splits at the end of this class. it gives me such a feeling of empowerment and my body feels more open.

Neesha is great at building the class incrementally, preparing the body for poses, in this case, hanumanasana. This class is fast-paced, a great workout and not especially well-suited for beginners.
