Keep your back, shoulders and hips and spine healthy with this short hatha yoga class that focuses on limbering up all of the muscles that help move, and often constrict, the spine.

Love this class. Question - I like those tights! Mind me asking where you got them? :)

This is a great class. As a desk worker and a student I sit far too often and doing this every morning before my day has greatly helped me. Please make another longer version (~45 minutes) of the same style poses.

One bit of advice to make future videos better: Focus on making sure the sides are even. For example there is one section the first side is 4:45-5:50 and the second side is 5:53-6:38 I always notice how the second side feels rushed and doesn't feel balanced. I really like the exercises done here and wish they were longer/same amount of time

Thank you!

I feel great after my first session with beginning Hatha Yoga for a health spine.

I have done yoga all my life but have been so busy these past 5 years with school and work, I had been lax. My back and spine really needed this.

Thank you Melissa. I loved your care and pace with is style.

I am coming back again and again and hopefully will be able to advance after a while.
