Love this class. I've done it many times . its perfect for me! Thank you Satiya
This was such a beautiful class. Indeed, my body appreciated the talking and time. Thanks!
I was looking for a practice today that would feel like a soothing hug, and this was exactly it. Thank you Satiya!
Satiya you are THE BEST!!! When are you going to put some more classes us please? This was just what I needed today. Broken toe means no autumn walks for now and this class didn’t impact on it at all. Thank you so much.
Satiya, I love love love this class! Just right for me at 68, I'm still going strong! Thank you so much. love all the neck work too

Perfect for me today. I am 59 and my body talks to me too.
This was perfect for my 55year old body which is definitely talking to me at the moment. I would love more classes for our age group. Classes that have challenge but in a slow pace. Thank you.
I find that if you select the older teachers you will find a slower paced practice. Although Melissa is a young teacher, her practices are also a bit slower with a bit of challenge too.
Love this practice! It helped me to feel more grounded and slow down, my whole body feels more open and strong all at once, thank you!
I enjoy this yoga instructor very much. Thank you
I found this class puzzling. The balances seem quite advanced - not beginner level at all. The rest of the class is slow and beginner oriented. Then the balances - whoa, another thing entirely. It's a bit discouraging, I thought. Normally I really like Satiya's classes.
It is great to get as many tips as possible for one-leg balances and you gave me another tip to focus on - so thanks for this. I loved your little chuckle at the end of our one-leg poses. It helped me lighten up a little and chuckle as well.
I so enjoyed this quiet practice again with Satiya. I am age 71 and enjoy the adjustment she states for less flexible. Thank you.
Thank you for a wonderful practice. I haven't worked out in months. I had surgery for breast cancer and endometrial cancer back in November and I just finished my chemotherapy. Although I have always been an active person, my 51 year old body needed a slow intro back into yoga. Your class hit all the right spots, thank you!
This was a lovely session. you helped me to give attention to how do I move and where I should accept my weakness and be ready for improvement. thank you so much.
I have tried so many different classes through the internet and different apps; but until I found your classes, I wasn’t satisfied. I am a 68 yr old female and very flexible and strong. I was looking for a slower, mindful based yoga practice, and your classes are fabulous! As we age, I agree with you about listening to our bodies!
I really enjoyed Satiya's calming presence and will seek out more of her classes. I usually do more challenging classes but I was a bit tired and sore today so I sat on a block for the introductory cross-legged sequence and used a strap for the hand-to-big-toe sequence.
Thank you Satiya; another excellent class with your loving presence, calm voice and gentle yet challenging postures. Being 71 I appreciated your acknowledgement of seniors and sharing that even you like to go slow. I missed the laugh but will watch for it next time. I noticed that you asked for requests - I'd like a new yin/restorative with gentle twists, focus on lower back and help with insomnia, and maybe a cuppa tea thrown in.
Watching this practice through first, for safety, I wondered what caused the laugh in the middle? After joining the second time: I found myself laughing too!
I was so pleased (and surprised). Wow! What a joyous class!
Satiya, you are a wonderful presence and teacher -even through the internet! Which is saying a lot, I think!
Thank you for sharing this practice and your presence!
Namaste!
Yes I wondered about the laugh too. And also really enjoyed the class. Lovely pace and beautiful scenery for these lockdown times. Thank you - my first time with Satiya but won't be the last.
I sincerely agree with your comment. Satyia is a joy to watch, & take instruction from!
Really enjoyed it! I've been trying to get back into yoga after a few years away by adding some do a calming practice at night but I didn't get too active today so I wanted to add a slight challenge. I had to only try some poses for a few seconds before going backwards (for example extending my leg to the side didn't go so well but after a few seconds I returned to the front) but I was impressed by what I was able to push my body to do by going slowly throw the progressions. Thank you so much!
These classes are really just inspiring me and helping me to feel calm and strong dealing with stress at this time.
I am just so glad that have discovered do yoga with me and am enjoying all of your classes. As a person of sixty one I appreciate your advice for people of my age, but I will also recommend to my younger fiends and family.
Thank you so much Satiya and all of the doyogawithme team...a real gift to the world at this time.
Beautiful class! I love Satiya‘s voice and her calming energy. I especially enjoyed the balancing sequence. Thank you so much!
Great class!
I have been doing yoga (inconsistently) for eight years but sometimes a combination of being away from yoga for weeks at a time plus a demanding physical job mean I need a very slow practice where I can really focus on poses, alignment, and stretching. This class did exactly what I needed it to! I was able to check in with my body throughout the practice and understand the areas I should focus on in the upcoming week to get my body feeling good and normal again.
Thank you!
I really appreciated the pacing of this session; it allowed me to feel into each pose. Also, the preparatory poses before the peak poses made this class more accessible for me. Thanks!
As a ‘senior’ with tight psoas, this was challenging, yet relaxing. I loved the pacing and flow. Thank you!
Great class for me when my rheumatoid arthritis is flaring. This class allowed me to continue my practice despite painful joints and fatigue. Thank you.
there must be some alternative to fire log position
no way my legs will ever go into that formation
suggestions?
I really wanted to love this one - but I had to fast forward through loads of it. This is definitely not a beginners class - with hardly any modifications offered.
I am a senior returning to yoga after several years. This was a nicely paced stretchy yoga program. However, I've never been particularly good at balance poses and I not at all good with them now. I thought there was too much emphasis on balance poses for a beginning yoga routine. There were about 10 minutes of this class that I just couldn't do.
I'd like to try before buy. More than happy to IF I know I will revisit
Very serene, Satiya and the scenery. Nicely paced, excellent balance progression.
What a fantastic class. Just a hint of challenge while staying inward and listening to my body. Thanks Satiya!
such a great yoga video... loved it
I have been nursing a shoulder injury that doesnt allow me to do downward dog or poses that put full weight onto my shoulder. This class was a perfect sequence that allowed me to stretch, release, and easily modify here and there for my injury. I loved the balance sequence. Thank you Satiya, the time flew by.
This was the perfect class to get back into practice after three months away from it. So gentle, soothing, and restorative. Loved every minute of it! Thank you!
Thanks Satiya - lovely practice especially for early morning. Glad to see you back. Cheers.
Loved this practice, will definitely do this one again. Just getting back into my practice after 3 1/2 months, wasn't sure where to start but this was a great place. Enjoyed!
I really liked this class, thank you. It was quite challenging in some poses for a beginner but not too much. I really appreciate that some thought has gone into it so that I can be challenged enough to see where I'm making progress over time. I found the Savasana to be exceptional in this class, I could tangibly feel the practice integrating. I would have liked it a bit longer but then I'm always one for a long Savasana!
Wonderful grounding, strengthening, balancing and slowly stretching practice - thankyou Satiya!
A god(dess) sent for this body at this time of having strained my lower back on one side.
Back to the basics to be sustainable.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this one. I think I will add you to my list of favourite teachers. Really nice pace, with lots of stretching and you have a really calm presence Satya
