Hatha Yoga for Grounding

new year, new challenge :)

Lovely start to the challenge. Very relaxing, despite the video crashing halfway through. Thank you Melissa

Wonderful class--just what I needed today. Thanks!

This was grounding. I enjoyed it!

Great introductory poses, only spoiled for me by the sound of her breathing amplified over the content. Watched most of this without sound

It was a perfect class for me - just what I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!

A great way to start the challenge. A lovely , really relaxing lesson. I really enjoyed it. Thank you.
I don't normally enjoy music with a yoga lesson as I find it detracts from the quest to go within but in this case, it was perfect and aided the relaxation process!!

Such a lovely class and just what I needed today. Thank you :)

Very grounding. You have a lovely style of teaching. Thank you. Debra

Very beautiful, lovely class. You will feel restored. Thank you, Melissa. Namaste.

I did your 7 day Beginner challenge and your movement and voice is so calming to me that I really looked forward to my class everyday. Now I am starting the 30dat Transform your life challenge. Looking forward to meeting some other instructors and trying a little variety of style , pace and movement, but was thrilled that you did the lead in for class 1 to start with a familiar voice and expectation.
Thank you for what yo all do at doyogawithme.com!

That was wonderful. I am calm. Thank you, Melissa.

Hello Everyone!
I belong to the the place where this hath yoga practice started(if not get popularized), namely Gorakhpur,U.P. by Guru Gorakhh Nath ji. But sadly enough,I have no clue how to do it! Its great to utilize this lock down time learning yoga :)

Hope we all commit ourselves to this noble cause of learning yoga

Thanks for this relaxing practice.

Amazingly grounding! Just what I needed. Very slow, relaxing and restorative to me!

I found this class to be a bit too boring and breathing focused for me personally.

Melissa after a stressful cross country move and a shoulder injury I have been away from yoga for an extended time. My doctor recommended that I get back to it and I started this morning with this wonderful class in the 30 day challenge. I feel calm and well stretched and ready to continue. I certainly wish that you had a 30 day series - your voice is so easy to listen to and explanations are just fine. Hope to see you in another class real soon! Thank You!

I practiced yoga years ago, nearly every day and loved it. Then life got busy and the next thing I knew I was in my 40's and terribly stressed and stiff. I was really hopeful when I found this series because I thought maybe this would actually be beginner class that I could ease back into it with. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for me. At the end of this class all I feel is frustrated, defeated and I have a tremendous amount of shoulder tension. The instructor transitions too quickly without enough explanation of what she's doing so I felt like I was constantly trying to catch up or figure out what was happening with my limbs. Also I can't do child's pose because of a problem with my leg but she offered no alternative to it so I just had to sit there and wait for her to move on. I'm familiar with yoga so if I'm left feeling this way I can't imagine how someone completely new to practice would feel. Very disappointed.

Thank you so much for this restorative and grounding class. Namaste.

Thank you, Melissa. I got exactly what I wanted out of this session, and then some. Pranams.

Thank You. This was Beautiful. I am Peace.

Wow, this was an amazing introduction to yoga. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this!

thank you

Thank you Melissa. I'm a 67 year old caring for my older husband who has dementia. I can at times feel stressed and angry and overwhelmed. This session with you brought me back to calm self-care and then an ability to be present compassionately with my spouse. I will definitely return to this!

A class that was gentle,nurturing and loving to my body and myself.
I felt emotional at times and very heart centered.
Such a lovely change to a more challenging class.
Thankyou

Thank you so much Melissa. What a grounding experience. You are wonderful

Thank you Melissa for this beautiful, slow, meditative class. Just what I needed today! Namaste.

Wonderful session, and really, just what I needed to get me started again. Thanks so much for your calm and clear instruction.

This was my first time and I enjoyed it. I feel that I'm a little more grounded. I like the music and the flow. Thank you:)

Perfect! Love your voice and the way you explain. Thanks so much

This was perfect 1st class as I return to yoga after a few years absence, broken limbs, surgery, a very stressful job & a remote location where I can't access classes in person. Thank you Melissa!!

Just really happy with how Melissa instructed this class...calmness was the result. Thank you for your gift, Melissa.

I felt a whole new level of calmness after this practice. The constant reminder to find my breath really helped me focus and release some contained stress that I needed to let go. I slowly felt a lot of tension that I was holding in my hips go as well. Namaste.

This was perfect. I didn't even know that I needed this class, but I did. Namaste

Thank you! I really enjoyed this class. At 64 my body is stiffening, joints are aching and tightening up. I did a small amount of yoga 12 years ago and felt it was time to reconnect with my body and be kind to myself. This challenge is definitely going to help me feel better in body and mind.

I was so peaceful by the end of this practice. It did me so much good. Thank you!

I love the gentleness of this session. It's perfect for reconnecting with myself. Thank you! Namaste!

This was a great for the evening.

This practice got me reconnected with my previously hurting body in a gentle and forgiving way! Already feeling more comfortable. Big thank you.

A gentle stretch with relaxation that I really needed. Thank You!

Great class Melissa. Just what I needed. Thank you!

Loved it. So great for my spine and relaxation and stretching after a long walk today.

Thank you Melissa.....this was a perfect class for New Years Day and start to yoga challenge.
Namaste

Wonderful class, many thanks! Looking forward to each day of this challenge.

Had a busy day which left me slightly nervous and irritated. This class was just perfect for me to calm down and be able to enjoy the rest of the day.

Painfully slow with too much lying on the floor, which can't be good for metabolism. This class is ideal for those out of shape.
