Radically Life Affirming Back Bends

I am still working towards mastering the alignment to be comfortable in backbends. Although I don't feel the common crunch in the low back I experience a tightness of breath and nervousness in the mind. Neesha in this class really drives home the points of how to achieve a safe and comfortable backbend. I know by repeating this sequence I am on the road to backbending bliss.

Many tips to open the chest and keep shoulders on the back

Another lovely class by Neesha. Fantastic guidance into opening the heart, shoulders and spine, while centering the mind an opening other parts of the body as well. I feel ready to invite a fuller existence!

Sometimes I rebel at Neesha's alignmnet principles because they challenge my stiffnesses so much. But following along is always rewarded with a deeper pose like today. Thank you

I consider good instruction as being able to do poses with barely or never looking at the screen. This was my first class from Neesha and I had to keep looking back at the screen to figure out what she was talking about. I think this especially dangerous in a class focused on backbends...people could get seriously hurt. So be weary...

Just what I needed!! Amazing lengthening of the spine and opening of the back of the heart...I feel re-balanced and energized. Thanks Neesha!!

This is a great class. My only criticism for the instructors in any class is to start by telling the audience what "tools" they will be using in the class. IE. straps, blocks, or blankets. So we can have them ready. Namaste

Neesha's instructions for backbending are always so thorough and safe - I always go deeper and deeper every time I do one of her heart opening classes. Also lots of of hip flexor and quad opening in this one, topped with 4 upward facing bows at the end :)

It was a gentle practice for the most part and I felt great after. I would have liked the verbal instructions to be more specific and detailed so I don't have to look at the screen.

I am so grateful for Neesha's teaching.

Another great class not to be missed... Feel great as usual & feel more flex in upper and lower back. Thanks a lot Neesha & Yogatoday Family <3

Another great one with Neesha:)

Yet another excellent class with Neesha. Suitable for novices, although the full backbends at the end may be out of reach for some. The wonderful stretches and prep work may help beginners reach their first full backbend!
