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!

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.

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

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!!
