Loving this sweet little 7 day series. I have been feeling really low energy and this is the perfect amount of movement to brighten my day and loosen me up. Thank you for the gentle practice getting me back to the basics.

I've really enjoyed this series as a whole, but man, this one was perfect for me today! The back of my legs have been kind of stiff for the last few days so that hamstring stretch really hit the spot. Thank you, Melissa!
