While working towards the apex pose, splits, Neesha uses all the poses to stress the importance of proper alignment. Specifically the spiralling of the inner and outer thighs. It does take a great deal of body awareness to get this concept so I was glad she dedicated an entire class to it.

My favourite class so far! I got so much closer to Hanumanasana than I ever thought I could. There is lots to learn in this class refining poses with the inner spiral. Every time I think I'm getting to know a pose I find another level to work on. Thanks Neesha, this is a class I will be visiting many times - I love it!

Lots of lunges prepares you for Hamunanasana. Despite there not being much of a warm-up, I did feel relaxed and open by the end of class. Lots of focus on inner spiral.

Started with lower back pain. Who would have thought that a lot of lunges and proper alignment of the hips would make the back feel so much better... Thank you so much!!

This class is pretty much all lunges, slow, but good to get deeper into leg stretches and hip openers

This was an excellent refresher for me on inner spiral after a long break from yoga. This is the kind of class that reminds me to tune into my body and be present.

Loved the pace and all the explanations!

My calves have been super sore these past couple days, so this was a perfect practice for me. Downward dog has never felt so good! Great alignment and lower body focus.

Yay Neesha! Whoohoo! You got my down dog to open up in a way that I hadn't thought I was capable of--and even better, I really understood why and will take that with me as I move forward. Didn't hurt that you absolutely changed my mood from bad to happy either... :) Thank you!

If you want hamstring and hip openers - this is your class. Ending in the splits! I always love Neesha's constant reminder about the 'optimal blueprint' to get as much out of our poses as we can.

Excellent build up to poses.Lots of lunging.

Thanks Neesha, the inner spiral really helps with all poses!

excellent as usual, neesha!

Lots of lunging, great instruction
