This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 5 - Twists in Melissa's weeklong series: Basics and Beyond 7-Day Yoga Challenge. This fun beginner class with Melissa is focused on different twisting poses including reclined, on all-fours, standing, lunging and seated. These twists help to release the entire spine while also getting into the hips and shoulders for a full body practice.

I am finding these classes just right for me as I re-energize into January. You have a clear, soft voice and a very welcoming tone.
Thank you, Melissa.

Pyramid pose wasn't available to me. With my front leg straight, I couldn't reach the blocks even when they were beside my feet. Placing one block in front of my foot put it that much farther out of reach. What do you suggest for those of us who aren't flexible?

Great question! You stumped me for a minute but I have a solution - a chair! One chair in front, or two chairs on either side would work well as extra long blocks. And of course bend or soften your knees as much as you need. Try that and let me know how it works out.
