I love this site!!
I really appreciate Melissa’s way of teaching in such a calm, considerate and loving way.
It’s a great series too! Helps you develop your yoga practice in a soft and nice pace, making you feel good about yourself and your body instead of incapable.

Lovely class ! I had "discovered" supported bridge pose with leg extended on my own, before seeing it in any yoga video. It's such a sweet relief for my hip flexor; I do it often. Adding the crescent/banana shape to it was an extra-special treat for both my hip flexor and my IT band.

I am loving this series. I look forward to this every day. I find that doing this in the morning helps me stay in focus better and pace my energy better through the day.
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you Melissa, I really appreciate the respect you show for all of our physical differences. Not limitations. Differences. I love it when you say "See what your body wants to do".
Thank you!!
