I like Melissa's instruction. She provides excellent reminders about abdominals and core work. I think we've all heard at one point not to let our ribs pop, belly pouch out, and stop if the exercise is starting to involve other muscles. I've certainly heard it hundreds of times. When I hear Melissa say "mind the ribs" am I usually popping my ribs...darn straight! ;-)

I'm happy to do this class again and again. Great flow. I always welcome abds-core work and appreciate the "ribs", 'low back" ...reminders.

The class flows well. Thanks Melissa

Thanks Melissa. Felt restless and angry going into this class. Feel relaxed and at ease coming out of it. Bookmarked this one to come back to!

I am so grateful to have this program and to have Melissa's classes. This one was wonderful! I'm a more advanced, but older yogi, and sometimes a beginner's class is perfect for me. Did this after traveling for the weekend and felt all the creaks and cranks in my body relax away. Yay!
