This satisfying hatha yoga class with Melissa combines two great movements for your spine - side stretching and twists. You’ll feel so good (and tall!) after this class. It’s especially great for those that spend a lot of time on the computer and/or sit for long periods of time.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 10 of Grounding and Strength 14-Day Beginner Yoga Challenge.

I will definitely be returning to this practice. The perfect slow-flow with a relaxing soundtrack to boot! My body feels so spacious and relaxed. Thank you, Melissa!

Spacious. That’s how I feel after sharing this practice with Melissa. Lovely, as all of her classes are.

This was a great slow, relaxing flow to elongate my spine after a long day at my desk in front of the computer. There were some unique poses that I appreciated. I would have liked some additional check ins for the positioning of my hips in the warrior poses and cobra. Also, it's my personal preference to not just step back into warrior poses, I feel like the positioning of my feet is never right when I do that. I'll be coming back to this class!
