This is a great beginner strength and stretch sequence for the shoulders. Melissa guides you through proper alignment while strengthening the arms and shoulders in a wide range of movements. Filmed on the beach on a warm, overcast day, this class is sure to keep you focused.

Loved this class!

I'm just getting back into yoga after a 6 month break and really need to build some upper-body strength before attempting higher level asanas. This routine feels perfect, thank you!

I found this video to be perfect for me. I have bulky muscle that needs to be trained to do the nice long stretches/ poses. I have strength, but not trained for holding poses... yet. :) You made it very easy for me to transition into each new step while I'm learning the names of the poses and how to get into them. I have used commercial videos, but could never find one that worked for me and my style.

Thank you for posting the video online! I'm on a small island with limited yoga classes (only on sundays at night). It is very gracious of you.
