Well, really, this video is good for any time you need a short practice...but it is one of my mainstays for when I'm struggling with seasonal tendonitis...such a great resource! Melissa is one of my favorite instructors - her videos are just the right amount of relaxation and exercise. Keep 'em coming DYWM.com and Melissa!

I'll keep coming back to this one. Great for improving your balance. Working on the poses is what it's all about.

I've been loving Melissa's practices up to now, but this one is NOT 'beginner' on in my opinion. It is very fast paced and has a lot of balancing moves that are extremely challenging for even an intermediate class. The setups are so fast, she doesn't talk you through how to achieve the balance in a pose or anything she just tells you to do it. Very frustrating, this was the first one I just stopped half way through and quit out of frustration. :( Not the way I wanted my day to begin!

I am working my way through the yoga for absolute beginner program and while a lot of it has been challenging, this is the first class I quit. The poses were too fast for me to do with any kind of correct form. I had to give up on the sun salutations. I will try this again, but I don't think it should be part of the beginners program. Pretty discouraging for a beginner.

We appreciate the feedback and we'll have a look into the program to see if we can replace that class with something more suitable.

All the best,

I would go along with the rest of the comments. When Melissa told us to go into "the dog" I had no idea whether my ankle should stay connected with the floor or I should be on my toes. Please put it at the end of the beginner program - or remove it all together.
Thank you very much nonetheless, I am discovering Yoga thanks to your program!
