Thank you! Great class!
Please please do 2 more variations of this class! I love it and do it one to two times a week! You are the best!
I would love to see more classes like this one! Adding weight training to my practice five years ago was life changing for me. I believe physical strength supports emotional strength, as Melissa says, but it also has enabled me to do poses with noticeably more ease, hike longer and stronger, and just do more each day without tiring out.
Adding weight training was life changing for me! It is good for one's resilience and helps counteract anxiety, as Melissa says, but it is also great for your yoga practice!
