Shoulder and Chest Openers

This is paced so that you can focus and align, but it's not at all slow. I was sweating from start to finish and felt this was pleasantly challenging for a "yogi" level practitioner like myself (ex: balancing half moon, crow). Twists, forward folds, safe backbends, balancing, and a good many sun salutations. Great use of the strap in bow. Adi's direction here is relatively subdued. My savasana and seated meditation were particularly clear after this.

This was a great class! That saying, I thought the description was misleading. I thought it would be much more focused on chest and shoulders, lots of stretching and openers. Instead it was more of a workout, lots of downward dog! Which was great. But I don't think it was as specialized as it sounded.

Even though this was slow moving - there was a nice heat cultivated. Shoulders feel great - not a lot of deep backbends until the end.

This was sweaty fun. I liked the way we went in and out of poses. Often it was a different way than I was accustomed to which changed the feeling of the pose entirely. I also appreciated how true to the intention each pose was, tailored to chest opening.

This class has a nice pace and opens up the front of the body nicely. For the past few days my neck and shoulders have been really tight and the poses allowed me to get into some of those tight spots and release the tension. Added to my queue for repeat playing.

A gentle and steady pace, with a good balance of poses. While the rating says "yogis", it's steady and gentle enough for all levels.

This class was perfect for remembering to focus on my intention. There was lots of room to breath and re-centre especially because many poses were repeated.

But, that could be because I'm not yet at the level to bind poses. It wa...

But, that could be because I'm not yet at the level to bind poses. It was definitely a lovely class anyway. I particularly enjoyed the last shoulder opener in kind of a modified puppy pose with arms stretched forward. Felt good!

This is a nicely paced class that packs a workout. Adi's voice is soothing and she encourages you to relax even when you are working hard, so it becomes a relaxing class also.

All over opening of the body, not just my shoulders but my sides & even hips feel more relaxed & loose. Definitely a keeper!

this class is wonderful and just what i needed this morning - beautiful heart and shoulder opening sequence. i feel fully stretched out, peaceful, energized and i can breathe better. thanks adi :)

Good class. The standing bow was different as was the sequence from triganasana to half moon back to triganasana. I found it a little hard to follow at times, maybe because it was different fro mthe usual sequences.

Wonderful class with excellent instruction. Loved the strap in bow pose....

Wonderful class with excellent instruction. Loved the strap in bow pose. Thanks Adi. Every class you give is top notch. I love your classes

I loved the combination of asanas in this class. I saw that some folks thought it moved too slowly - I disagree - I frequently paused it or backed it up so that I could take more time to go deeper and get the full benefit from these awesome poses. Thanks for yet another awesome class!

...but still quite a workout for yours truly! I'm more novice than yogi, but I was able to make it through this class (with a few modifications). Nice poses, including a few unique variations on familiar poses.

Really nice sequence, the class had an abundance of different poses with a nice easy pace, but keeping a slow, but steady flow. The guidance was just right. I look forward to coming back to this class.

A great opener for the chest with just thr right intensity.

very good class, a full workout holding some poses longer than usual .the pace is slow but all my musscles were used and I feel now completely relaxed. a great Adi class!

This was a slower-paced class with a nice flow. Lots of shoulder opening poses and backbending - but nothing too difficult. Feel great!
