Súper!
Balancing tutorials were wonderful. Thank you for the tip to use a block/bottle. Movement with intent, so you get your mind off the "balancing" and just do it to reach something. Brilliant idea. Always love your calm approach to teaching, I'm sure I'll be coming back to this one, so balancing will get easier.
Oooh man thank you my hips were tight and the last stretches at the end felt so good
Very good beginner class. Thank you.
Overall for the site I find that even though I have been doing yoga for 20 years, I have to stick to beginner classes as I have health issues. The intermediate classes are out of my reach much as I would like to do them. I feel that the beginner and intermediate levels should be divided into 2 for proper beginners , like this one and beginner 2 for those who need less challenging classes but have been doing yoga for a while. A lot of the intermediate classes I would see as advanced or mostly for younger healthy people.
I am not good at balancing, so I appreciated the very beginner modifications. I know it is something that I can improve, so I will using this practice often! Thank you for teaching!
Thank you! I really really like your classes! just perfect for right now for me!
Thank you for these classes. I really love your teaching style and the pace of the class is perfect for beginners.
Love from Wales on a beautiful sunny morning.

Satisfying move with the blocks to incorporate balance. I find balance hard. I liked this. It was like a warmup to balance that took my mind off of balancing yet accomplished the goal. It made the next balance moves easier to get.
Thank you! I really enjoyed the pace of this class & loved the block exercise - very helpful!
Thanks Melissa. I love the balancing moves with the block.
Thank you! I appreciate the clarity of your instructions and alternative moves if a pose in unattainable at the moment.
Love it

Thank you - I'm ready to hit the day!
Enjoyed this.
