I am so grateful to Do Yoga w/ Me! It has been a life saver during the last 2-3 years! Were it not for the physical and mental relief that these practices offer, I don't know how I would have coped. Thank you. Deep gratitude!
I always find what I need in this practice. Thank you, Melissa. And I very much enjoyed the playlist! I appreciate this addition!
Gratitude for being my teacher/guide today.
What an amazing session! I am a beginner in a bigger body and I love these slow flow sessions because they are in a tempo I don't feel left behind in or out of my depth or such. LOVE IT! Felt so good to go through those gentle movements!
SO Good!! After a long day, this class didn't feel like I was on my feet a lot, even though we were standing for a chunk of the class. Classic Melissa with her perfectly timed reminders of the breath and the simple things we forget - to let the judgement go. Still gives you some gentle heat :) while really getting a full body experience. Every part of my body feels more relaxed and stretched out.
Thank you, Melissa! That was just what I needed- the gentle, slow pace and the combo of sitting and standing was perfect for me <3
That was a beautiful and perfect practice! Thank you! I loved how the sea waves were breathing along with the vinyasa breathwork and movement <3
I love Melissa's teaching. This is now my go-to practice. A great pace, a great way to start the day, and it makes me feel like I can do this! Thank you!
I really enjoyed this. I love how calm and kind your delivery is! I always feel like I've given myself a big hug after doing one of your practices. :)
Thank you! This was a lovely practice.
Lovely practice, thank you.
Once again, totally awesome!!!! This was perfect to start the day. Thank you!!!!!!!
Enjoyed this class. It’s an excellent way to ease back into your routine after a break. I like it that Melissa talks less. Some talk too much that I feel more tired and overwhelmed just listening to so much instruction. Less is more.
gorgeous class Melissa thank you so much, from london, needing those waves these days more than ever. serenity now. namaste
Sweet class! Namaste
Hi Melissa, I just found your 14 day challenge and have really enjoyed this one! I so love your beach and the sound of waves and birds too! Perfect! (I want to go there ;o) Thanks very much!!
Fantastic class. Feeling refreshed
Lovely class, Thank you Melissa
Thank you Melissa, very easy to follow and good pace.
Such a calming and relaxing class - Melissa thank you. Great way to start the program. Excellent idea to make the music available to those who wish to have music, I choose not to so I appreciate the choice. Looking forward to day 2.
Great Spotify playlist for this class - thanks!
Wonderful slow flow with Melissa’s reliably calming teaching style. The tweeting birds, the waves breaking on the pebbly shore and the Olympics peeking through the clouds in the distance make for a very zen practice.
Love this new short practice. This morning I felt I needed a break from my beginner-to-inter. program and this was perfect. Off to a nice snowshoe this afternoon.
Day 1 done only because Melissa is my fave. Very calming and grounding with great instructions as always.
I love this class -- thanks Melissa.....and the playlist option is really great as well.
Lovely as always, thanks Melissa
Longer opening centering.
Basic and slow.
Easy and fluid
Great way to start the new Year, nice easy flow, just enough direction, good practice for those of all levels.
Thank you Melissa
This is a great class for me to use in between my intermediate two and intermediate three classes. I always love Melissa’s classes!
Such a lovely class. I love Melissa's approach. I really got into the present moment, the pace was perfect.
Thank you
Delightful ! A wonderful start to the new year. This was a perfect follow-up to Basics & Beyond series. I also appreciated seeing the calm sea behind Melissa, very soothing.
Loved this slow flow class. Love all of Melissa's classes. Her cues for positioning and breathe are so intuitive it is like she knows when I'm tensing a part of my body that needs to be reminded to relax.
