I am markedly less open in my right hip and pelvic area than in my left, and while I know that I should keep the intensity of my stretch as even as possible, it is SO tempting to push it in the more flexible side. I feel as though I am becoming more lopsided, and it scares me. This class was great at reminding me where to put attention and to retain that attention throughout a pose. Flag as offensive

Hi Lydia, Always check the alignment of the tight side- If the hip is more tight, my guess is that the right thigh bone is further forward in the socket. Really press the thigh toward the hamstring in every pose. Try working the actions on the tighter side with more intensity. It is like turning up the charge on the side that has more thickness. I hope that helps! Flag as offensive

I have arm problems, and this had too many downward dogs for me. Plus, there wasn't any meditation at the end! We laid down, then you said" goodbye!" WAH!

I was expecting longer, more challenging poses. These twists felt good but I don't feel like they were guru level, with the exception of the side arm balances.

Good use of drawing into the center and lengthening the spine. This class feels good but I would have rated it a Beginner/Intermediate class. Nice if you need to unwind but not really invigorating.

I especially like Neesha's snail metaphor... A couple of times she got her right and left mixed up. She usually catches herself, but not in this class, so I got a little backwards. Side crane was awesome. Challenging, but rewarding.

This type of slow, thoughtful twisting is always an excellent way to get rid of persistent toxins, leaving me feeling wrung out like a damp towel, but energized nonetheless. Attempting twisted-crow (and making it!) was the highpoint for me of connecting with my core strength. Neesha has a wonderful sense of whimsy in describing the indescribable.

Neesha doesn't disapoint. Stick with the class until the end for some well deserved and very challenging poses. I like to know what I can work towards.

Absolutely exhilarating! I was dreading the "twisted pigeon" that one of the other reviewers mentioned (pigeon is my nemesis), but it turned out to be amazingly therapeutic and lovely--perhaps because Neesha carefully worked us up to it. I feel so wonderful, I know I'll sleep well tonight.

This class really twisted and lengthened my spine. As always Neesha throws in those playful challenging poses that you don't see often. This was the first time I ever did a twisting pigeon. Felt great.
