As others have mentioned this class opens the entire body, not just the heart. Neesha gets right into it so this is not a class where the first third is lunging or sun salutes. She continues the quicker pace in and out of the poses so you get a lot of yoga in for 50 minutes. Made me feel great.

loved this class...had a breakthrough in camel and wheel thanks to Neesha's queues. I did twice this week so far and will probable do again this week since I am trying to work on heart openers.

This class made me smile! Literally!

Thanks Neesha! This class was just right. Lots of yummy hip opening, shoulder opening and some great backbends! I usually find camel a really tough one, but I leaned back, reached down and found my heels in my hands with no difficulty at all! Also, I am really appreciative to have an Anusara teacher at the click of a mouse. I practiced for a couple years in San Francisco, but have since relocated to a remote area of New Zealand. Thanks for bringing Anusara worldwide!

Nice safe back-bending class with good cues (but not too many), great for gurus, but also good for all levels. My whole body feels great, not just my upper back, but hamstrings and hips too from the side body opening.

This one was very slightly over my actual skill level, but hey, if you don't try once in a while you'll never know for sure when you get there! Excellent pace. It wasn't too wearing, but it made me sweat and got my blood pumping! Thank you, Neesha!

It's something I am learning to love working on. It's truly an area that I find difficult and this was a perfect sequence for me. I love Neesha's vibe.

This session was wonderful! I felt so energized afterward. Also, I tend to experience pain in savasana at then end of any yoga practice. The pain creeps in on my lower back within the first minute or two in the pose. It seems to be more intense after back bending postures. I didn't feel ANY pain after this session. Your preparation and balancing the back after the backbends was just perfect for me. Excellent :)

More Yogis level than Guru. Not much sweating. Nice tempo. Not sure if it is Cosmic, but feels really good!

Thigh stretching was so amazing before the backbends!! A little quicker paced than usual, but Neesha has a very nice approach to cuing for optimum alignment.

Demanding class in a subtle,gentle way

Thanks Neesha, this was challenging and fun!

A good class for when you're in the mood for some funky modifications on some basic standing poses. I found it was more of a hip-opening class than a shoulder one, but overall I felt very alive and energized after. Neesha has such a wonderful attitude, it's hard to finish one of her classes without a smile on your face and this one is definitely no exception- well done! :)
