Basics and Beyond : Breath and Basics

Melissa's teaching style is so easy to follow. Her words are intentional, providing clear direction with brevity. I can often follow along from audio alone, allowing me to focus on my body's cues. I seem to arrive at each pose with ease and I can feel my body releasing tension along the way. By far, one of my favorite yoga instructors.

Thank you … great way to start my daily practice again after too long of a pause.

Perfect practice to start back with after a too long absence. Thank you Melissa

Great start, so happy to start yoga again. Thank you Melissa.

Nice start! ;-)

This was terrific! Thank you, Melissa.

Love this challenge, but how to get to day 2?? Ahhh, figured it out.

Ahhhh! what a good practice! Thank you, Melissa!

Thank you very much. What a lovely way to start the new year.

I have been using DoYogaWithMe for the past 6 years and Melissa is my favorite teacher on the site. I'm so happy to have finally found a 7 week program that I think I will actually finish!

Ah okay, I wrote the first half of this comment prior to the class and now I am certain I will finish. Melissa gives so many options and adjustments that I believe in my capablilities and her voice is so soothing that the only way the video is stopping is if shes done talking. A refereshing and enlightening yoga practice from DoYogaWithMe.
Thanks Melissa <3

Great class!

Thank you Melissa! I truly enjoyed the first one and looking forward to the others.

Thank you Melissa! I truly enjoyed the first one and looking forward to the others.

Great class; clear, calm, and easy to follow. Just what I needed to get back on the mat after too long.

I just had a baby over a month ago and man the muscle control n spine twist felt so good thank u

love this, thank you!!!

love this, thank you!!!

I love your classes, your voice is so soothing and I don’t feel pressure todo everything perfect. Thank you!

Good lesson. Thank you. It's so peaceful without music - more introspective.

I’m really enjoying Melissa’s classes!

i love this your classes Melissa but i would love not to have to ‘watch’ the video to follow. can you pleeeeeze give more instruction (which arm, leg) it would help me follow without tethering to the screen!!

It was amazing...!!! Thank you so much:)

Lovely practice! Thank you so much!

Thanks for this Melissa! I have practised yoga for 25+ years but am recovering from a knee replacement. This is the perfect way to ease myself into my practise.

Thank you very much! I'm going to try the 7 day challenge. I very much like your gentle style and detailed instructions. I've been recently doing your bend and stretch video 5-6 times a week for all of May . I thought I'd try something different for a change. I do have a long standing stiff neck and shoulder (really right side of back coming and going-depending on what I'm doing) and very tight hips. I thought gentle yoga would be the best way to keep moving and hopefully these muscles will release.

I loved the practice but I felt dizzy during the practice and after the practice. Did anyone else feel like that? I mean is it normal?

Loved this and looking forward to more. This class was just the perfect fit for me. For reference, I’m 55 with fibromyalgia.

Thank you, I liked how reaffirming you were with being gentle and working with what feels comfortable. I moved a bunch of body parts I don't think I've moved in a while. Awesome!

Thank you! Great way to ease back into yoga after 4 years!

Thank you! This was a perfect way to ease back into my practice. Very relaxing.

Thank you Melissa.....a beautiful practice....Namaste

I've been out of practice for a while and getting back to the basics is just what I needed. Thank you so much!

Thanks. Looking forward to Day Two.

Thanks Melissa. Now in quarantine, this is perfect as it is very similar to my regular teacher's practice.

Instant favorite! Thanks for the years of study!

looking forward to day 2....thank you!

Thank you, Melissa. Your warmth and kindness bring me back to your classes as much as your content does - time and time again. You always seem to know what my body is doing and my mind is thinking.

This is a great morning practice for my body, which is always a little stiff and resistant in the early hours. Thank you for this Melissa. Looking forward to the next few days!

Thanks for this:) After two weeks at home I had TO DO SOMETHING so I came back to doyogawithme.com and this was perfect after being away from yoga for while.

Perfect, just what I needed today. Always feels good to get back to the basics.

thanks Melissa and thanks for reminding me about my favourite twist. After dealing with my physio issues, back to basics will be great for me,

Thank you Melissa, I enjoy your yoga classes very much. This challenge is just perfect for me right now, looking forward to tomorrow.

Day one completed yesterday looking forward to doing day two. I can't balance on left side!

Thank you!

Great way to start the day, thanks Melissa
