Gentle Yoga for Reducing Anxiety

Thank you Melissa. My body really needed this. I think you are one of my favorite instructors. I love the simple, gently instructions and the tone of your voice (full of compassion).

This is one of my go to classes it helped me with anxiety and now getting back to yoga after injury

Perfect after a stressful day. Thank you.

I just returned to yoga. Got lost in the stress of events. I love this class. Back to basics. This very gentle session directed with compassion and humour shows me that yoga is accessible again one gentle movement and breath at a time. Thank you Melissa.

I’ve been missing some new Melissa classes this year. This old standby did the trick today.

Such a peaceful and gentle practice that yet stretches one's body just about everywhere. I woke up anxious today and knew that this practice was on tap this morning. Thank you!

I come back to this practice over and over again when I'm looking for gentleness and grounding. Thank you for a great practice.

stretching starts at 6 min

Such a relaxing practice. Thank you.

About halfway through this class, I can feel my breathing deepen and my heart quit racing. It's a perfect way for me to relax in these crazy times.

Thank you again! I keep coming back to this practice and always feel so calm afterwards. It really helps release tension I didn't realize my body was storing.

Wonderful class! I feel so relaxed. The sound of the waves is so calming. Thank you.

This is a great practice and truly does work to relieve anxiety.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed, and I will probably do this once or twice a week now. Ahhhh!

Thank you! just what I needed today. Very gentle, yet my whole body feels enlivened.

I woke up too early today due to anxiety. I decided to see if yoga would help. I found this video and it worked wonders for me! Thank you so much!

Beautiful class. I'll definitely return to it in the future on days I feel resistant to practicing (always an anxiety tell for me). Thank you!

This was so lovely and soothing - Melissa had such a friendly and warm teaching style and the soft, ground-bound movement practice was perfect. I am borrowing the ending twist variation for my own class tomorrow because I think it’s so perfect for my coworkers and our tight upper backs and shoulders!!

Really excellent class, very relaxing and just what I needed to get a calm stretch to center myself. Always love Melissa's videos!

Wonderful relaxing class. Nothing too hard for a beginner and the instructor has a calm, soothing manner. The moves are not difficult but feel I received a good stretch. I had been doing Pilates in a studio but when Covid hit studio closed and I have not done much of anything except walking. I am trying this site out with the free yoga videos to see if I want to purchase a subscription. I will be looking for more from this instructor. Thank you and namaste!

Maybe one of my favorites! So many benefits while so calm and relaxing.

Absolutely delicious !
Thank you, Melissa !

A perfect class after a long day of work!

A lovely class to help calm the mind and gently stretch out. Thank you Melissa!

Thank you SO much for this lovely gentle class, Melissa! I have unintentionally not stepped onto the mat for a while (but have been doing other movement) and felt i needed something whole body, gentle and on the floor and I came back to DYWM and here was this lovely new class. Just what I needed. I feel gently released all over...like my anxiety has been moved out of my body. This was just perfect. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.

l lovely practice that makes you feel good. Melissa is a great guide.
