Thanks, Melissa. I’ve been out of yoga practice for quite a while and your challenge, in every class, has been a beautiful reencounter with my body’s possibilities in a very respectful manner.

Thanks, Melissa! That was just what I needed for relief of a tight iliopsoas! You are my favorite teacher on DYWM.
