I love the variety of poses that Neesha gives here - and also the focus on community that she emphasizes. Such a positive class that left my hips and shoulders feeling so open!

I have always liked this format of choosing one or in this case two big poses and working into them. This is definitely one of Neesha's specialties, getting your body open and ready so you have the best prep going into big poses. Sometimes the repetition of the prep is hard to bear but you realize its worth when you end up going deeper than before.

Great reminders and guidance to properly get deeper in the poses.

Would've liked more demonstrations from Neesha. The guests are great, but a couple of times I looked up from my pose for direction and found the camera on a model that wasn't quite in pose. Also, would like more instruction for sundial pose, since I wasn't able to really get into it due to physical restrictions.

Loved the playfulness of the class combined with excellent alignment guidance. The humor really made me happy, which was fitting in a class about how "life is good". Nice job!!

my first bound side angle where my hands met... yay!

tailbone down, ground through the pelvis, extend through the side waists, shoulders down the back. bright through the inside. bird of paradise and sundial. very open though hips and shoulders.

This class was very invigorating for me; thanks Neesha.

Sundial is my favorite pose now--thanks Neesha!!!

This was a very challenging class for me, but it was good. It took me out of my comfort zone. Although there were some poses I was not able to do like Sundial, I was still able to practice with modifications. As always, I enjoy Neesha's fun approach to Yoga :)

My shoulders and hips feel more open after this very interesting class. I liked the different from average poses and the alternate demonstrations of how to get into particular poses in new ways. I figured out the triangle pose in a different way today and I loved it.

Definitely an intermediate/yogi level class: not much resting in down dog, lots of switching sides with hops, lots of side angle pose (which always makes me work up a sweat). Good for novices who are feeling energetic and/or want an extra challenge!

I enjoyed the slow stretching and the strengthening in this one. If you're looking for a challenging, but not too intense workout, this is the one for you!

Although there weren't many balancing poses, this was a fun class with great hip, side body and shoulder opening. Bird of paradise and sun dial were the finishing acts.

Great hip and shoulder opening, plus some more advance, rarely done poses to shake things up a bit and all with Neesha's own personal vocabulary that never ceases to make me smile!

I feel suitably stretched!

Another great class by Neesha! I loved the uplifting message of community and enjoyed doing some not so typical poses. I was definitely feeling the bliss in sundial!

Great class. I feel really open in my chest after doing this one. And I love the Bird of Paradise pose.

This class has a perfect mix of stretching and strengthening. Then again, perhaps I just love these balancing poses! Neesha also has a way to have you re-explore and go much deeper into basic poses. This one's a keeper.

What a great intermediate level class! Sundial and Bird of Paradise are hard poses for me, but Neesha had me more open than I've ever been. A challenging workout, but also a good lesson in mindfulness.
