I started reading Harish Johari's 'Chakras' to go along with the series. Somehow the two together are helping me remember all the pieces a little more fully. Flag as offensive

I've been wanting to do this chakra series but I was nervous about starting with this "guru" level class with Adi. This is mostly very accessible, though. For a look at the challenge, watch 20:40 to 29:40, which is the first side of standing balances with long holds / cardiovascular challenge. I *almost* got it, and I look forward to working on it again.

I love this class, my legs was shaking 20 minutes in the class with this intense standing balancing posture sequence. Really love also the forward bending at this end, where I discovered some new postures. Thanks Adi ! I feel grounded and altogether great !!

Another great class by Adi. This class really emphasizes grounding through the root chakra, moving deliberately through Sun Salutes, A, B, and a challenging C. From there Adi does a tree pose, then works down to the floor for forward folding postures and a gentle supine twist. I really enjoyed it, the time flew by!

The Sun Salute C was definitely a challenge, but it kept me focused on the breath and grounding through the balancing leg. An all around great class with good cues and visualizations for root Chakra.

Sun salute C kicked my butt... I was shaking towards the end! But I am glad I tried. The class was very strengthening, and the long holds took some willpower... I just did the best I could and I'm happy with that!

While the standing one-legged bends were not the easiest, I enjoyed the challenges in the practice. I really loved thinking about the color red as I was breathing into different areas of the body.

Sun Salute C is the challenge here -- a series of standing and balancing poses -- warrior I to revolved triangle to revolved half moon to standing splits to half moon to triangle to extended side angle to warrior II -- with no break. wow! Excellent verbal cues throughout reminding us to ground through the four corners of the feet and extend from the inner arches up through the groin -- very grounding. Love the visualization of muladhara chakra.

Really enjoyable class of many standard ashtanga poses but in a challenging flow and with lots of useful tips on adjustments that enabled me to get deeper into the poses than usual. Thank you.

Thank you Adi! I am always amazed and surprised whenever I pick one of your classes. Oftentimes the themes of your classes and your introductory words of encouragement are exactly what I needed to hear. Now if only I could commit myself to practicing yoga every day...Thanks for another wonderful class!

This class really targeted the Root Chakra. Gives awareness to a strong foundation while engaging the pelvic floor (good for post-pregnancy mamas) and steadiness of breath.

Good class. Lots of hamstring work. I find it really difficult to do revolved triangle and half moon before doing the regular ones for some reason.

Steady, Classic Ashtanga Class

Guru challenge lies in the 5-breath length of time each pose is held
