Core Strength and Stretch

Nice, gentle flow...I wasn't feeling 100% when I did this video so I found it the perfect amount of movement and slow enough that I didn't fall over from all my sinus issues

I think you're right, GetFitAnnie. This is closer to an intermediate class. I've changed it now.
Take care,

I used to take Melissa's classes when I lived in Victoria. Loved this one - I didn't find it too challenging, but it was a nice workout and a great way to relax while traveling for work. Thanks, Melissa!

This video is a great alternative to when i don't feel like/have energy/time to do Fiji's classes. A challenging yet gentle video. Did have to stop once (dog), but continued right to the end. Will be going back to this one

How often can you say it was relaxing to workout your core? Thanks Melissa for making that happen. I will keep coming to this video over and over :) You’re voice is so calm and tranquil maybe you just make it soothing to work so hard!!! Thanks again!!

Teaching style was clear enough for a beginner but allowed me to challenge myself, thanks!

This class was just challenging enough for me - and I love Melissa's teaching style. The reminders to relax in the jaw and face as well as the shoulders are perfect - it's exactly where I tense up and forget to release! Thank you for this wonderful class.

For those days when you don't have it in you to flirt with your limits. Just the right dose to get rid on that lower back pain after a long day standing on your feet at work. I really liked the reminder to "use humor with your balance poses"...Yoga could really use some humour indeed! A bit of self-derision is such a powerful tool to lighten up and an such an easy, direct path to self-forgiveness!

Thank yo Melissa. A perfect combination for this morning <3

Thank you Melissa! I've done the routine 4 times now and I love the gentle sweet approach by this instructor. It's gentle, but you still get a workout.

Such a good experience - thank you! Good reminders on relaxing the parts of the body not in use. The introduction, with the exhaling and feeling how it engages your core was perfect for me - made it a lot easier to remember (and feel) throughout the class. I also appreciated your reminders about the ribs not popping out.

Perfect combination of balance, stretch, and core! Loved it.

I'll definitely come back to this class a lot. Thank you!

This was a lovely video to work with but I think it would be more fitting to categorize this as Beginner. Nice and relaxing!

This was a perfect alternative to my Monday schedule as I am feeling under the weather. Enough to energize me but not push me to exhaustion. Thank you.

I feel great. I had to stop about 3 times(6 month old), but it was still fulfilling. Thank you.

This was terrific! Thank you!

I just love Melissa as a teacher. Her voice is so calming :)
I really loved this video as well, but still found it a bit challenging (maybe because she mentioned something about it being for "intermediate" yogis?).
I still really enjoyed it and will definetely work more on my core strenght and balance.

Thanks for this great class, Melissa!!

Great class, really enjoyed. Not justbeginner but great as a warm up or cool down. Namaste.

Delivered with Melissa's usual charm! I particular like how she says "please" when telling us how to move into postures.

Thank you

Thank you Melissa! Another beautiful class! Great to have a longer one and to have the joy of your live talking as if I was in one of your classes in Canada :) Enjoyed the strengthening and relaxing poses.
Namaste :)

just finished this class, it's beautiful, challenging and relaxing at the same time, I love how Melissa guides you through the class :D I will definitely keep practicing to notice my core streght as I go.

Namaste from Mexico :)

I love Melissa's videos and was so happy to try this one. What a lovely class! It's my new favorite. Thank you so much.

Just did this on a recovery day after a long run, and it was wonderful. I really enjoyed the stretching and reconnecting with my core. Thank you!

Could it be? is it true? a new class by Melissa? Must be my lucky day! Melissa, your light and kindness easily transcend the "internet waves" and touch my core (no pun intended!). I love your gentle approach, complete with the reminders to back off and be gentle with myself. Thank you for your dreamy, yet effective style. Namaste!

Melissa,

Thank you for another wonderful practice. :)
