I've been having back problems for months, and I loved this class. Feel great and empowered right now. I want to do it every day! Thanks Adi!

I have been away from yoga for a while, and decided that this would be a good place to start. I feel amazing, thank you.

I was in the car a lot yesterday, so my back is now nice and loose again. I agree withcomments below, though, that this class should be rated Novice as the instructions and use of props would suit that level more.

This was a wonderfully slow, restorative class, great for the beginner or novice. I am very inflexible, so I always appreciate when teachers give tips for how to use blocks and straps to support me during my practice, which Adi does here. Adi leads you carefully through this class, encouraging little knots in your body to dissolve.

I often use props so it was very beneficial to see them used for those of us who have tight bodies. Great instructions from Adi, as usual! Thanks!

This is class is very, very, very slow. I doubt I'll do it again. I have some back pain from recent trail running and this course did not help. The back pain described in the course sounded tailored to folks who might be generally physically challenged with general alignment issues instead of someone who might have an injury he or she is trying to nurture.

I had hip surgery 27 days ago, and needed this to help my psoaz, TFL, sacrum and SI joint. THANK YOU! I woke up in a lot LOT of discomfort and thought "how am I going to work my retail job today?" Ugh. But after 63 minutes I had reduced my pain from 100% to a mere 30% (which is my normal daily chronic pain). SUPER!

After standing on my feet 12 hrs a day for work all week, this was an excellent way to get some movement back in my spine. Excellent class!...thank you

This class felt like a novice class - but my back and spine feel nicely open and warm from this class, I enjoyed the slow and thoughtfulness of the class. A couple more challenging poses would have been nice.

This is exactly what I needed since I've been waking up with some minor discomfort near my lower back pretty much every morning. Felt wonderful and ready to start my day after. Thanks again Adi. It has always been a pleasure attending your classes. Namaste.

haven't done yoga in a few weeks due to a vacation, and actually had some back pain as a result of vacation, so this was a great class to get me back on a normal schedule. Nice and slow paced, with stretches that can be done at various levels depending on how you feel.

Nice pace and effective combination of postures!

Nice slow class

Just finished this class and feeling great though almost 5 months pregnant. Slow and still intense. Perfect for me. If you are looking for hard work out, prefer another class

I thought this video was amazing to release stress at the end of the day. I have bad lower back pain and I felt so revived and loosened up after this practice. Thank you!

Last night, I had so much lower back pain from stressing out and reading/writing all day long that I had to lay down several times. This morning, I was still a little tense, and then I found your website and this routing. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I feel so much better right now and able to face a long day ahead of me! <3 Namaste <3

Having a lot of trouble with audio on these videos the past few week s even with my volume all the way up on the screen and the computer.

Loved this class! Relaxed my spine, relaxed my mind! Thank you, Adi! :-)

Thank you for your such nice class. I feel that my spine is awake !!

thank you, Adi. I enjoyed releasing my spine.

My first workout on yoga today. What a wonderful way to engage your spine in a lower intensity yet super strengthening yoga routine. She has such a soothing voice, and is so informative in her instruction. Great!

it feels so good to focus on the spine for an entire hour. the pace is on the slower side, which allows for plenty of focus on the breath. i feel expanded, relaxed, and grounded after this class. thanks, adi =)

Big discovery during this class: There is a link between my shoulders and my pelvis and when I focus on rooting my tailbone down while placing my shoulders on my back, I don't experience my typical L shoulder pain. I think I've been compensating for my weak core with my shoulders and this class, with its continual focus on the core and pelvic rooting down, helped me to understand this in a big way. Freedom from shoulder pain! Yay! Because of the continual core muscle use yet spot-on instructions with modifications, I can understand why it is introduced as an all-levels class.

I have sciatica, and sometimes I just feel resistant to getting on the mat. I love this one when that resistance in me is present; This yoga video is not strenuous and challenging, but my back feels good afterward!!

Yes, this should probably be labeled novice, but this was still a really good class for those with tight lower backs & hamstrings, like myself.

My back along with the rest of my body were feeling the effects of returning to the gym after time off. It took about 3/4 of this class to start feeling the positive effects. If you stick with the sequence by the end you will be saying ahhh.

I agree this is a beginner class but it was great for me coming back to yoga after an ankle sprain. I needed something a bit slow so I could go easy on the ankle, and also get back into hamstring stretching. Very clear and relaxing. Thanks, Adi!

Nice class but I took an Adi class because I wanted something to work me out, but this was not the right class for the purpose. This lesson is probably very good if you have a very bad back pain but maybe too slow otherwise. And the level maybe should be reviewed?

great guiding words for alignment. though this is peaceful and slow paced, i worked up a lot of heat- after a week of no practice, this just felt great

Adi is always great but I felt a little underwhelmed through this class, even took some positions further on my own. It think it should have been labeled Novice.

Thanks Adi for sharing this routine with us. I felt a lot better at the end of the workout, As always your instructions are very clear,concise and easy to follow. It's almost as if you were standing right next to me and helping me correct my posture! Thanks again for everything.Namaste.

i just love this class. it is the perfect solution for a myriad of back and even hip issues. soothing, full spectrum asanas and clear mindful instruction

I feel so much better as soon as I have completed the class. Thanks Adi.

This class really helped to stretch out my tight back.

Loved this one! Thanks so much!
