This class will build some heat as we focus on twists. Expect some fun, new and novel movement patterns in this one! This class will be a good challenge for beginner students. Props: Please come prepared with any props to help you sit comfortably.
Thank you Melissa. I loved the option of crossing the legs sitting on the floor for a deeper stretch vs. lying on the back. I had never made that connection before in any yoga class. It was explained perfectly.
Also overall, very clear instructions.
A really nice class. Thank you, Melissa! There is a lot of flexibility in choosing asanas offered. The only caveat is that this flexibility comes at the expense of breathing instructions since people may find themselves in different positions. Personally, I would enjoy more breathing prompts.
Melissa's gentle guidance is always such a treat. Her honesty and openness about variations and comfort being at the centre of the practice are welcome on those days when the body just needs a little more love.
This 2022 challenge really is a challenge for me - some of the higher intermediate classes really push my limits. i found this class great for loosening up the tightness from the last few days.
Melissa's teaching style is always so calm and gently encouraging - one of the main reasons I'm still showing up today since beginning my yoga journey. Thank you!
Thank you Melissa a really lovely flow for any time of day. I love how you enable students to make the practice their own, suggesting adaptions and being so aware that everyone of us is different and there are days when we are more comfortable with a different take on an asana . I always come away from your classes feeling a little better about myself and my ability.
Great class! It´s nice o get to know different teachers during this challenge. I especially like that you are encouraging throughout the class to feel what is best in the moment and to accept it. This gives the practice so much gentleness, which I need as I tend to be too hard on myself - on the mat and in normal life. Thank you!

Melissa outlines different options, explaining why we might need to alter the practice - love her sessions
Thanks
Well this was simply lovely. Thank you so much!
I realized partway in that I'd forgotten to check this one off. So glad I did it twice. It felt great, and I was able to do more this time.
Thank you Melissa:) As always a delightful class with clear, gentle guidance.

Thank you Melissa, that was a very gentle class for after work.
Melissa is such a nice teacher, and this is a lovely little sequence. Felt wonderful, thank you.
A lovely mix of twists, balance work and relaxation, and wonderfully accessible to all levels. Thanks, Melissa!

Just what I needed. Thank you Melissa.
Great moving and twisting to soften and relax the body!
That was a fun test of balance Melissa , will keep practising that open twist/lunge sequence. 🙏
