I used lots of modifications, rest periods, and a spotter for the headstand to help me through this class and came away feeling accomplished and strong. Neesha's words at the beginning especially, but also throughout, helped me so much today.

and I'm no guru - I found this very challenging and don't understand how on earth Neesha is able to talk through all these poses :-)

Thank you for the challenge, Neesha :) I have been out of my practice for a long time now, so great to be gently nudged back into it. This class was challenging but fun and throught provoking as all your classes are. Namaste! Sonja

This class made me so happy! I'm not really on a guru-level, but I think Neesha guided me so well though the class so I didn't have too much difficulty with any of the poses. I even managed a nice headstand! <3

Finally I found a class!!! Great !!!

really enjoyed the hip openers and the lengthening of my thighs, although the wind was quite noisy :-)

Really great instruction with blissful appreciation towards the wind :)

great class! Loved it!

This class allowed me to access the bridge pose (forgotten what it's called!) and cosmic dancer with a strap for the first time since i was about 8! Thank you so much Neesha, will be doing this one again!

Loved this class. Fantastic instruction and wonderful enthusiasm as ever. You take me to places that I haven't been before. Thank you for this. Yes, the sound does get a bit iffy with the wind but I am sure that doing this class a few times will assist in getting to where Neesha is going with the poses. Namaste

Great class - my hip flexors, quads, and shoulders feel fantastic. Included in the class as warm up to Dancer are handstand, splits, and upwards facing bow. Lovely!!!

thank you. Sincerely!

First - congratulations dear Nisha, both you and your daughter look lovely. Who hasn't seen the pictures - visit the blog. Now, this class flies - it is well structured, has nice tempo, well thought instructions, and many great asanas, including king pigeon, split, wheel, deep back bends, and the cosmic dancer. Once I figured what to do with my elbows - I was able to do the later. Came as a surprise. Many thanks.

What a fun, explorative class! Thanks Neesha for your clear guidance and proper preparation up to the pinnacle pose!

Focus and education on chest opening was spot on!

Great class! Thank you!

This is a very satisfying class. I love the life lessons and yoga philosophy. Most of all, I love feeling apart of this larger yoga community. At some point Neesha says that we "hold the space" for each other. This is what I tell my students! Thank you Neesha and the whole yoga today community!

Awesome! Great preparation for Cosmic Dancer. I liked Neesha's introduction at the beginning. Inspiring!

This class was great, Neesha's detailed instruction lead me to cosmic dancer with ease which I didn't think was possible, thanks girl!!

Strong wind interferes with Neesha's voice; oddly, not with her guests'.

great opening class and I finally got a great explanation on how to do the pigeon pose correctly! Thanks Neesha!!

I felt fabulous after this class. Neesha always manages to compassionately and skillfully guide you to a pose that you may have felt at the start of the class was unachievable. My only criticism would be the sound issues around half way through the video which made Neesha's instructions difficult to follow.

Honestly, this was the best of Neesha's classes. (And I've done a lot!) ...

Honestly, this was the best of Neesha's classes. (And I've done a lot!) The kramic building of poses, hips openers, and backbends were just what I needed after rock-climbing yesterday! I always welcome more instruction on alignment and where the action is happening in the body during any pose. I agree with another reviewer - Kim's questions were great and look forward to more in the future!

very challenging balance sequence, was refreshing to see Kim in the class and actually hear her ask questions, something i would encourage, hard to do from home but often i wonder the same thing. also enjoyed the "breeze"!

This class was challenging, but the instructions were clear and each step brought me closer to where I wanted to go! I feel wonderful!

I loved this class! It was exactly what I needed. I am nowhere near able to do cosmic dancer, but I got closer with this one than ever. I felt strong and relaxed afterward.

What a surge of energy! The deepest dancer I have done yet. I feel great and love the diversity of this class.

If you follow Neesha's classes, you will love this one. It is truly a culmination of her teachings and techniques. I didn't think I could make it to dancer, but by the end Neesha brought me there with her thoughtful instruction.

I love Neesha's progression, combining deep hip and heart opening for dancer pose. I appreciate the frequent reminders to use props, which really help me work at my edge safely. Also enjoying having new classes - thanks to all at Yoga Today for those!

definitely a guru class! At times it was hard to hear Neesha due to the wind although I could hear one of the participants very clearly when she spoke, so perhaps it was mike placement as well - but what a tough class - my biceps are still tight from it yesterday but i look forward to doing it again - splits and dancer and pigeon in one class?? Look out ;) 4 stars only due to difficulty in hearing Neesha sometimes :)

Awesome!

This class was filled with hip openers and backbends. Neesha always does a great job of warming you up slowly so that you are really ready for the peak pose. Could have been a little more of a cool down at the end, but otherwise, it was a really well-structured class.

I liked this class for the helpful instruction and challenge. The heart opening is energizing and positive.

i totally love this class. All the poses feel so good in my body. challenging, but very sweet sweat. as Neesha says: not a practice, performance!:)

Very freeing and I was able to gauge my level of concentration by noticing when the sound of the wind bothered me and when I could include it. Plus the weather outside my window went from sun to hailstorm back to sun during the hour so that was exciting too:-)

As usual, Neesha's step by step guidance helped me to get deeper than every before. Her anatomy lessons are always spot on!

Awesome class great guidance!

but cannot WAIT as this is my favorite pose!! I've only done it once without a strap and that was several years ago, so I look forward to getting deep into dancer with Neesha!
