Deep Hip Opening Flow
This wonderfully thorough hatha yoga flow digs deep into the tension in the hips, legs and back, moving you through a gradual build-up to more challenging poses as the class progresses. Melissa maintains a calm energy, gentle pacing and difficulty level that is accessible to most students, although this would be considered as a more challenging beginner class.

Coming back to this class was perfect. I was so tight in the legs. Melissa is one of the best teachers on the site and anywhere. <3
Wowsa. Full body plus a focus on hips and IT Band. A new fav, I always love Melissa’s directions, pacing and shape choices. A keeper!
Melissa is so calming and emanates kindness. More long Melissa classes please <3
I hadn't come back to this "old" class for a few years, and thought I'd revisit it today. It's absolutely worth it! Funny how I feel afterwards as if I'd done a deep plunge, yet it never felt long; it's no longer physically "challenging" (to me today) and every pose is familiar in itself, yet this class still makes them speak to each other in a very fruitful conversation. (Also, I suspect the three variations on cobra/locust are just what my silly repetition-averse brain needs.) Thank you, Melissa, for this class and for all the ones you recorded since!
