Thanks Melissa! I have always enjoyed your classes. I love the addition of the strength training; it was really lovely and motivating to have it incorporated with my yoga time. So I hope you'll do more of these types of classes

Thanks so much Melissa. This is just what I need. Haven't been able to do traditional yoga and know this is exactly what I need right now. I hope to see more like this and you as the teacher makes it even more special!

Thanks Melissa for a great class - would love to see more like this!

For anyone withouth hand weights - I used big bottles of water which was fine for the class.
