Thank you Neesha. A beautifully mindful focus on form and breathing; with a view to release and cleansing. Using strength, but remaining soft. Wonderful as always. Thank you.

This was exactly what I needed. By the time I got to the end of the class, my head was feeling like it was floating on cloud 9 of bliss. Perfect, thank you Neesha, another fantastic class by you.

I think this may be my all time favorite class from Yoga Today yet! Really enjoyed the pace and the reminder about being connected, the idea of stress as dust. So good! Thank you!

For any of you out there who are high energy or tend to think and worry too much, this is a great practice for reconnection. I was touched to hear Neesha say something like, "Believe me, no one has to think as much about yoga practice to reduce stress as I." I hear you!

Slow flow with great awareness. A bit of abs and back. Finishing off with reclined leg stretch with strap. Great for a grounding morning practice or a letting-go evening practice. Very enjoyable!

Practical Stuff - a great flow that somehow got my blood flowing & felt energizing but was slow and relaxing. Other Stuff - I LOVE how you can see Neesha's passion for yoga in this practice. Her smiling, laughing and light nature is inspiring and contagious! She says just the right thing at the right time (right when your mind is wandering). Thank you!

It was slightly more vigorous than I remembered, but still a great class for stress & a good class if you've been off your practice for a little while

Good class, but after reading the other reviews I thought it was going to be easier than it was. This was challenging! My yoga buddy and I both worked up quite a sweat. This was different than a lot of Neesha's classes. There was some pilates-style ab work. There was also a sequence that alternated between belly and back poses. Lots of breathing with slow movement at the beginning. It was a very relaxing class.

This morning I thought I was taking a nice easy flow, but to my surprise was a wonderful nice and easy powerful flow. Holding the postures longer it allowed my body to distress and strengthen. I felt great so and went out afterward to do the hedges in front of my house. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great inspiration. Namasté

The flow and pace of the class were very conducive to relaxation and allowed me to doing a moving meditation. I really enjoyed Neesha's discussion on malas and her tips for finding our connection to the world when we're feeling stressed and disconnected. Awesome class!

Woke up tired with a sore throat-I feel so much stronger-thanks Neesha!

Slow, but intensive class, still very relaxing. Thanks, Neesha!

Have been having a lot of anxiety lately, and this class really helped in making me feel grounded and strong. The analogy of the masa as dust obscuring our own self-perception was quite helpful. This was a great Friday night class to go into my weekend feeling a little more secure and relaxed.

I am going through my PMS days... for me that means feeling tired, heavy, stiff, stressed and irritable :) and this class is just what I was needing today!! As always, thank you Neesha, I really love your classes and your positive energy. Love love.

Of COURSE this class is amazing! I agree with all the other reviewers. I just want to add that I love and prefer the outdoor classes such as this. The amazing natural setting and the real, natural sound -- down to the wind in the micrphones and even the cars driving by -- its centering and calming as well. Please don't abandon these classes. Thank you!

I would have like to have seen more hip openers like Pigeon Pose, but overall a very nice session.

The more I do this the more relaxed I feel! Thanks so much Neesha

As someone just starting to get back into yoga after several years, this class was great. At first I was moved by the familiarity of the particular stretching & breathing. Then I was truly able to just be in the moment--the past, the future, cares, worries all fell away. Beautiful! Thank you so much! I wish the whole world could feel like I do right now.

loved this class - thank you!

Total relaxation from the slower breathing to the longer hold of the positions. This will become one of my favorites, when I have a long day and need to feel whole again. Thank you Neesha, you are the best!

I'm going through a particularly stressful time in my life. Thanks for this peaceful hour away from it. Thanks also for reminding me how important my own yoga practice is to help alleviate stress. You're the best, Neesha! Peace, Janna

Neesha's definition of stress as a coating on the lens of our lives truly resonated with me. This class effectively clears away a lot of that film by allowing us to concentrate in poses that are often held for an extended time (like triangle, bridge, and the strap work at the end). The abdominal work is challenging and invigorating. My body and mind feel more open and clear. Thank you so much, Neesha.

Great core work. Loved the extended time in triangle. Maybe if I do this one enough, I can be as un-uptight as Neesha! Have a strap ready for this one.

This class really does what it sets out to do - I will try to remember to come back to it in moments of overwhelm and stress. I am recovering from a cold (which has put me behind on a lot of work) - the pace and breathing of this class was great for my still a bit weak body & I felt myself warming to sweat out some toxins as well.

Another great one from Neesha. This class was a great mixture with lots of transitions from standing to hands and knees, to lying on your back, then on your belly. Good strengthening through chaturanga and ab work in the middle.

I just couldn't relax before my yoga practise today, so fed up with stress and negative thoughts I was almost crying. But once again the superhero Neesha saved me! ^_^

This class was just what I needed today. I am breathing much easier now.

Went into this class feeling overwhelmed, finished class feeling strong inside and out. Abs, grounding, some twists and more, yet soothing enough to do when quite tired. You rock Neesha!

Wow, i feel great after this class. This class is the reason I do yoga.
