Yoga for proper posture

This combination is magic on the low back. Thank you, Neesha!

I enjoyed that this class had a fairly slow pace but a fairly challenging sequence. Neesha's specific instructions for proper pose alignment were excellent and made all the difference. Great class and some really deep stretches in pigeon. Ahhhh!

Wonderful instructiveslow-paced class. I still can feel myself moving into my back with openness and awareness. Thank you Neesha :)

The class went quickly for me. I enjoy Neesha's commentary though she didn't specifically speak about posture, the focus was on adjustments to properly align within the postures. The next day my mid-back muscles were sore, but in a good way! I feel like this class lengthened and strengthened my back, and opened hips to boot.

Loved this class. Have been away from yoga for about 10 months due to surgery. This was my first full hour class since - been working up to it slowly. Loved the reminder to move from the back, the hip opening and variations on Pigeon Pose. Thank you! I feel fabulous!

It was fun and interesting and challenging to try to lower the tail bone and raise the sacrum at the same time, but I figured it out (wow it's hard to type, everything is all bright!) and will remember it in the future. I almost gave up, but am glad I did not because I got the spontaneous tears and smile with the last pigeon variation! I definitely felt an openness in my pelvis/hips that I was really very aware of, following her directions about what to do with the thighs! Excellent

My hips and quads are wide open now. Loved all the pigeon variations. Thanks so much Neehsa

This class was challenging (or it could be that I am tired because it's late at night) but manageable. I was able to shorten a few of the poses and it didn't interrupt the flow much. All in all, I liked the pace of this class and I feel better after the hip openers and back bends.

I hate to admit it, as much as I like Neesha's playful approach (which helps me remember to count blessings), I don't always respond to the anusara style. This year, due to a medical condition, I have not been able to do my usual routines of yoga with running, which has affected me emotionally and physically in very deep ways. After routine today I feel an emotional lift as well as huge relief in my lower back. THANK YOU not just for a great routine, but for another wonderful surprise today: counting blessings! :)

Really made my back feel better after sitting at a computer all week

i think i'm in loooooooooooooooooove with Neesha at one point she does a little hop skip (around 45 minutes in?) of childish excitement - classic poetic moment. xx

a little too much talking...which made it less enjoyable to focus on the yoga for me. the poses were good, but I think there should be a little more quiet time throughout the poses for people to center into their bodies.

Honestly I kind of skipped the first 10 minutes because I was after a workout but LOVED the last 50mins! Great pigeon flow and backbends.

Thank you! Loved the hip openers and backbends today.

Thanks Neesha. That was a fantastic class. I hadn't practiced in a couple of weeks and this was the perfect class to get my body realigned and full of energy. Great way to kick off my week!!

As is Neesha's style this class builds into a final "big pose". That pose being a variation of pigeon in which you grasp your flexed foot behind you. In my opinion Neesha excels at cueing you into these big postures and prepping your body appropriately. It results in me being able to safely and comfortably go farther which is awesome.

This class definitely lives up to its "yogi" rating, mostly thanks to its quicker pacing. Even with the faster pace, Neesha provides excellent instructions/tips, as always. But those two sets of side plank just about did me in! :)

More breathing instruction would have helped this video. Maybe I was distracted during this video b/c I couldn't find a breathing rhythm in these challenging poses.

Some stretches toward the end were intense, but felt great!

If you are a weary backbender, this class is a great way to learn how to do it safely. Also wonderful for the hips with 3 variations of one legged pigeon, and double legged pigeon at the end. Some good strengthening poses as well with side planks. All in all, a fabulous class that makes you sweat.

I always love Neesha's descriptions of how the spine or tailbone or arm bones should be moving. This is one of my favorites so far. I really felt my spine coming into proper alignment as she made the verbal corrections. Great class.

I enjoyed the focus on the hips, sacrum and tailbone in this class. I feel some great space in my hips and will use the articulation of the sacrum that is practiced to maintain my posture during the day. A few good laughs too!
