Thank you, I really needed this today. I am coming to do this one a few more times. I already feel better. You are an amazing teacher David!

Thanks! Awesome class!

excellent comprehensive lesson, putting all the breathing and holding core muscles together with stretching. I know I will come back to this one, to gain more awareness of using the core muscles and the breath. Thank you!

I feel so tuned into my body after this class. I love David's instructions and guidance into poses with confidence that I'm aligning and feeling the right things.

Felt great after doing this session and also able to sit on ground properly after years after doing absolute beginners yoga on DoYogaWithme. Feeling great.

Luxurious full body stretch. Loved it! As someone who normally only does flow classes, I would not normally have come across this class, had it not been for the DYWM Teacher Training. So grateful to discover a new format. Fabulous new experience. Bookmarked to come back to! Thanks David!

David thank you so much. These classes help me so much to stretch my legs and align my back. After a few times doing this I already feel so much more 'space' in my spine.

Thank you for your calm spirit with teaching. I enjoyed this class.

I do feel rejuvenated. Good for body and soul. Thanks, David.

Great class!

Thank you, David. This was glorious and exactly what my mind and body needed.

Great stretches, thanks David.

Awesome. I work with some stiffness in my lower back and hips and this class puts together all the most helpful, deep, thorough, gentle stretches to nourish this part of my body. It's not an exercise practice it's a stretch practice and something I want to add to my routine several times a week. This is a gem. Thank you.

Thank you! I loved the stretches, reminders to balance effort and release & to protect the low back, savasana, and questions. Very considerate. Namaste

Really enjoyed this session. Great clear instruction. I now feel taller and better aligned :-)

wonderful class. not only great stretches delivered in an easy manner, but also super peaceful! thanks from a new subscriber but keen yoga student a long time ago.

Thanks for the great stretches David.

wonderful intense yet calming stretch exercise. Feel so aligned afterwards , Thank you

I felt so aligned and in tune with the solidness of my body after this class. Thank you for a great session, I feel so strong and good after!

Just finished all the sessions of the "Yoga for absolute beginners" series. Going in, I was curious, but rather sceptic, about yoga. I enjoyed almost all of the classes immensely. I'd often feel lazy and really have to pushing myself to do it, but I'd always end up feeling so much better afterwards. This class was particularly wonderful.
It's fascinating how you can change a sensation so fundamentally just by shifting your focus to a particular aspect of it - for me, that was often the case when David reminds us to "lengthen" the whole body instead of stretching just an individual body part.

Needless to say, I just subscribed as a member. This is some wonderful content, available for free, and I am glad to support it.

David is amazing at using words to explain how to move the body. Really remarkable! The only place my body got lost was warrior pose.

That was Excellent I’m looking forward to more videos of her progress with this wonderful beginners series

Wow, that was difficult but great workout. Using muscles we have forgotten about. Wondering why you clapped your hands David. Were you trying to get someones attention? LOL

Some wonderful streches for the legs and hips. David's calm instruction all the way through. I really enjoyed this one.

Wow this one was tough! I think I have really tight hamstrings and I can't bend my torso much while keeping my spine straight so a lot of the motions were really difficult for me, especially those with the strap and stretches where I have to keep my legs straight while moving my torso around. Despite that, I feel much better physically; I noticed when I was sitting in shavasana at the end I was very angry at myself for not being able to do the motions, so I really was able to calmly note that rather than further berate myself.

This is one of my all time favorite classes. Everything about it is perfect, other than an editing error at 44:35. I do not know if you can still go back an fix it, but that would be fantastic as the error is rather jarring. Thank you for all you do.

Beautiful and deeply healing. I am rehabbing a hip injury during the Corona virus. Since I cannot see my PT, this is a great way to keep healing my hip. Thank you David!

Such thanks!
The incredibly clear
And stable guidance
Is so healing;
A deep release
Peace
And open space
Connecting with consciousness
In shavasana
The tears stream down to ears
Opening to
Whole being
Glowing

Wow, I really loved this class! Thank you David! I am doing the "Establish Your Core Stability and Strength" program, and I've really been loving it so far. I was able to get into the present moment in this class, as David gently moved us into the poses slowly, deliberately and precisely. I so appreciate taking the time to experience each nuance of the practice. This is the type of yoga I love most, and I thank DYWM for making these classes available.

This class is so subtlety amazing - really allows for space and time to notice what the body is doing and needing. Many thanks~

A wonderful, calming class that works out the “kinks” after a long work week. David’s voice is also calming and his instructions are thorough.

I agree with so many of the people who left comments. David, you calm me, center me and leave me with a positive, nurturing outlook for the remainder of the day. Thank you.

I had to return to more gentle classes. I was doing the 30 day empower yourself challenge and had to tap out at class 9. I have an old sprained ankle so I wasn't feeling good in the knee, back, and hips area at all for a few days after that. Im not giving up though! Your website gives us hurt folk several options to fit our needs. This is still the greatest discovery, thank you so much for what you do!!!

I just love David's calm voice and precise instruction. This class was great. Relaxing and energizing at the same time. My body and mind feel so good!

The feeling I had at the end of this class was so wonderful. A true buzzing feeling throughout my whole body, a calm and quiet mind. Really great attention to the lower body and alignment. Needed this and enjoyed it so much. Thank you.

Such a lovely class. I am trying to get back into my yoga routine and this was a perfect way to re-awaken the body. Thank you David!

Thanks for this one. Will bookmark this one.

I typically enjoy more of a flow/vinyasa practice but was looking for a good stretch to help my soar back and body. I’m going through a loss and major life changes and needed a practice where I could care for my aching body and relax. This was it! I feel less tense after this. Thank you, David!

I came back to the 30 day challenge after a 2 week hiatus, filled with hard physical and emotional work and not enough sleep. This was an excellent class to come back to, as now I feel renewed and energized. Namaste.

I am amazed these classes on this challenge are excellent. Struggling with a few things but wonderful to feel the stretching and no doubt in time when I repeat all of these challenges they will become easier and maybe my body will accept them more. Thank you again for such clear instruction!!!

You did it again, David! This class is nurturing and so mindful. I love the combination of lower and upper body release. The standing section was so precise. This class and your words brought me to a higher level of respect and care for my body. Thank you so very much!

Thank you for a gentle awakening after a fitful sleep. Beautiful.
