Far from a slow start, if you really get into the breathing, the pace almost feels to fast ! I was warm enough for the intensity of the final poses and Adi's encouragement really helps with the release :)

I am another New Yorker with sciatica ;) I did this yesterday and my sciatica hasn't let out even a whimper since I did it. I was suffering daily for about a week before. This sequence goes into my emergency kit. This goes deeper into the hips than any other sequence I have done on Yoga Today. It starts with several sun salutations, but it is on the mellower side for an Adi class. There is a nutty arm balance, though, and plenty of other challenges for the advanced yogi. I'm definitely buying this one.

I'm 54, and I have bad sciatica. For me, "Blissful Hips" releases that nerve pain for a significant period of time, and I can't be grateful enough. However, while BH moves well and has a great variety of intense poses, the poses are not challenging in themselves. This practice starts out more slowly and thoroughly, but the pace adequately prepared me for the challenging poses at the end without any strain. Today I even got my leg straight in Sundial! Very exciting. Interesting how two practices with the same focus can be so different. Perhaps BH gives me incrementally greater sciatic relief, but this practice is a worthy alternate, and a beautiful practice in itself. Thank you Adi!

I love Adi, but this class just dragged for me- I changed to something else 20 minutes in.

I love hip opening - but I find some classes don't push my limits. This class just may be may favorite hip opening class - Adi leads through the first half of class with vinyasas - and ends with some excellent floor work that pushed the limits of my hips! It felt AMAZING!

Couldn't help but gawk as you three did the final pose, so cool! This practice reminded me that I haven't done Pigeon in a while, which will be corrected immediately in my daily schedule. No wonder my hips felt tense. Another great Yoga Today class well worth repeating.

A warm body is needed for the end poses.

my hips loved it, they need work!

slower paced but left me feeling strong & rejuvenised

I fractured my coccyx (tailbone) about 10 months ago and still have pain in that area to the point that I cannot sit leaning back for more than 10/ 15 minutes without having to change my position. After doing this class I was sitting reading a book and after reading for almost an hour realized that I was not in pain! The poses and stretches helped so much!! Thank you for such a great class!!

There is a nice core lower abdominal focus complementing all the hip/pelvis opening due to the focus on the locks. This class really emphasized for me the connection between the emotions and hip tightness. I am looking forward to "breathing into the tightness and releasing it" as I gain further personal understanding of how I carry emotional tension in my hips.

After sun salutes A and B the intense stretching begins with pigeon. Once seated there are extended holds of fire-log and cradle the baby. Adi has a very challenging sequence of sun dial to arm balance to chaturanga (wow). Also included one of my favorites, happy baby. This class was work.

I felt myself going further into positions than I expected I could. Built a lot of heat balanced by extended time in some asanas. Tried some new things and almost got the jumpthrough this time!

Adi provides great instructions for hip and pelvic opening utilizing the breath and the bandhas. The class moves slow so it was great after some time off. During a time of regular practice, I'm sure I would experience deep opening. Includes jump throughs and some interesting jump backs.

This class was great! I'm in physical therapy for my hips and IT band issues and these stretches were perfect for those parts of my body. Also, my pelvis sometimes rotates out of place and these poses put it right back in place!

Found the slow pace of this workout didn't mean my muscles weren't really working! So for stress relief people prepare to move slow but intensely:)

This was a slower moving class with deep hip opening poses. I would have liked a little more vinyasa at the beginning to get warm first, but - it was great none the less.

This class was definately a favorite. It introduced a few new poses and really led me up to some oldies but goodies that I was actually able to do. Very empowering. I felt good all day

Great hip opener! This is a really great class for women who have had children, and want to strengthen the pelvis again. I found it to be a really great class! Thanks! Namaste~

Nice hip openers and relaxing
