This is a really nice, gentle session for hamstrings. Great preventative/maintenance session for those with back issues (or anyone), but I am not sure this is the best one when you are having active trouble with the low back. My back pain was exacerbated at first after completing this, but the next morning it was better, so...yeah. It's nice and calm, with precise instruction as usual from Adi.

great class...feel & e energized & relaxed

I am just getting back into yoga after over a month of not having time to practice. I have chronically tight hamstrings, so I really appreciated the nice ease into the forward bending. There were also a lot of useful reminders about proper positioning during the poses. Thank you, Adi!

Thank you for the clear instruction and the focus on the hamstrings. I skipped the last back twist at the end because my chiropractor advised against twisting for my back pain.

love waking up with this one. Sometimes in the pose-I am not sure of the name-bridge maybe-my shoulders burn and it really hurts to perform that asana.. Is there something I could be doing wrong in positioning my shoulders or arms? I find that pose incredibly painful to hold in the shoulders every time.

This is a nice slow easy-paced class for beginners. This is also one of my favorite classes visually. I love the location of this class!

This was a great class. After all that lengthening of the hamstrings I feel taller. Thanks.

I'm recovering from a back injury and have very tight hamstrings, and this was perfect. I got deeper into a standing forward bend (comfortably!) than I think I have ever been.

Feels nice on the back. Typical Adi!

While this is a much slower paced class, I still felt the burn. My hamstrings are very tight from desk job and running so I need to focus on slow, steady lengthening. This was really good for that.

I just wanted to say how much I loved doing this class tonight. Although it doesn't contain any of the really 'challenging' poses - the ones we all aspire to and yet know we must try not to be tempted to become 'performers' in - it really really opened my body and I think my forward bends tonight were as deep as they have ever been. Not only that but it was really fun. Love to you all. Namaste, Charley xx

This is my second day doing this video and my back feels fantastic! Usually my lower back hurts so much that if I don't take painkillers before bed then I won't be able to sleep. But last night my back felt good enough to not need any painkillers. It still hurt a little, which is why I did the program again today. Thank you so much for this video!

This felt sooo good. And it really did help with my lower back pain. Wonderful. There was just too much breathing stuff at the start for my taste.

That was helpful for my back and I was able to reach the ground with my heels in downward dog part way through the class-Thank you!

Was nice to really take my time and feel the poses

I feel so much taller and loved staying in the poses longer to go deeper

It 's great how the association between the lower back and hamstrings is highlighted. If everybody knew about this, there would be far less back problems in the modern world.

Great workout! I am sore from this class, but my back feels more stable than before. This is also great for knees as it works the muscle groups that support them. Also, Adi is clear and the setting is so calming!

great to take it back to the basics. Good practice

What a lovely practice! My body and mind feel entirely refreshed.

Excellent instructions, stable pace and easy poses. Great for novice. Hard to rate, because all Adi's classes are brilliant. I gave this one a 4 only to give myself a chance to rate an extraordinary classes in the future.

Looking forward to do this class every day of this week. Thank u Adi

Really stretched and worked the hamstrings. Nice mix of a few poses. Great reminders all through to remember my intention. Brought me back.

I have done virtually no yoga, so I did find the terminology and slow speed a little hard. However, I also found myself getting more deeply into my hamstrings than I had in a long time, and the breathing was wonderful to keep me present and mindful of treating an injured shoulder gently. I really appreciate that there's an easy class available for free, as there are no classes in my area. Thanks.

Don't be fooled by the novice title. If you do the class with awareness you'll have a deep strong workout for body, mind and spirit!

THANK YOU SO MUCH Adi for calming & connecting Series ;)

Perfect class for those of us with really tight hamstrings. Thanks!

Thanks Adi. I hurt my back falling from a hammock in August. This was just the right pace to feel the stretch without over doing it. Namaste.

This isn't an aerobic-centered practice, but it does focus on opening the hamstrings (mine were tighter than I knew) and on building core strength-- both to help alleviate and prevent back pain. I finished the hour feeling calm, focused and ready to make progress in the day.

Thanks Adi as always for a sharing another wonderful class with us. This class has offered some relief for the stiffness and pain I am currently experiencing in my lower back. If there are any other classes that I should also look into, please do let me know. Thanks again and Namaste.

I like to listen rather than watch, it is more relaxing. With Adi it is easy to do because her directions are clear. It feels like she is speaking to me. I did this class immediately following a run and that was a perfect time for it as you will not generate a lot of heat during the class, its more of a recovery speed.

slow pace but very effective stretching

This class is great for anyone suffering from tight hamstrings and lower back pain (me!). The poses are held longer than Adi's other classes - which really allows for opening and expansion.
