No one encourages surrender and sincere gratitude within a yoga class like Nicky Jones. Her sweet, direct honesty and gentle, nurturing flow make this one-hour experience complete bliss.
You can always adapt poses to meet what feels good for your body. I think you are refering to the soles together, leaning forward pose? So for that one, maybe slide your feet further away from your body and don't lean as deeply forward. Hope that helps
I was completely connected with Nicky and the ebbs and flows of this deeply relaxing and deeply releasing practice. This class is one of the best gifts one can give herself. ❣️
This was just what I needed as I am gently returning to yoga while healing an injured shoulder. I feel the gratitude, internally and externally. Nicki is a great instructor. Thank you!

I feel so calm and energized. The instructions are so clear I didn't have to look at the video. I feel relaxed from head to toes and full of gratitude. Thank you Nicky
What a wonderful lesson. Just what you need when you are tense. The length of the class also enables one to really enter into that space of letting go. I loved this and will be doing it again. Thank you. I love the way you incorporate gratitude into a pose with the breath.
I feel amazing after this practice, thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. I enjoyed the vocal guidance through each pose I was coaxed into a deeper stage of relaxation.
Super long and relaxing intro which is great after a long day at work. Poses are held for longer than average which for me is genius. Overall I totally enjoyed this practice from Nicky. I'll definitely be heading here again :)
I thought this class was wonderful. I even find myself giggling just like Melisa. I've read comments about the audible breathing, but I simply pretended it was the ocean and everything was fine. ☺
I couldn't even make it through ten minutes (not counting the beginning "warm up meditation" ten minutes, which I skipped) because of the audible breathing. I've enjoyed other videos with audible breathing on dywm, but the audio level in the video, or volume level on her mic, was just too much, and there was no way I could enjoy my practice and relax. I tried even adjusting my computer audio settings, to no avail.
Easy relaxing class. I enjoyed it. I am not a fan of the audible breathing in the background. It does not match my natural rhythm and I find it difficult to resist the impulse to match the breathing even though it isn't natural to me. It's like trying to dance or clap not matching the beat of a song.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
this was EXACTLY what I needed to get me through my work day. I closed my office door, locked it, closed the window shades and got out my mat and put this video on - first time for me finding this website.
I could not believe it. It was EXACTLY what I needed to make it through the rest of my day - mentally and physically.
I used to practice Hatha yoga regularly and am now returning to the practice of yoga after being away from it for a few years. This was one of the most grounded, peaceful, and powerful Hatha based classes I have ever taken. Nicky Jones is a gentle guide with specific instructions that focus on form and respect for where your body is at and what it can do. This will absolutely become part of my regular practice. Namaste!
After a long work day it's nice to do yoga that is refreshing but not too intense...this fits that exactly! Thoroughly enjoyed the meditative start followed by slow, intentional poses.
Thanks Nicky,
Another lovely class, so restful and deep, holding stretches for longer. Love the setting and your gentle, kind direction.
Thanks again to you and all the team!
:)
I spent a long day painting my dining room yesterday, and was pretty sore, especially on my right side from rolling the pain and edging w/ a paintbrush. This really relaxed my tight muscles and restored some balance. It also REALLY relaxed my mind! GREAT practice!

Song sparrow and Nicky’s welcoming style. Perfect for today.
Sweet class!
This was very relaxing until the impossible (for me) contortions at 28:00.

Very good class - relaxing and helpful at opening the body. Thank you.
This class was the perfect antidote to an emotional previous day. Thank you Nicky.

I'm all about relaxing, etc.....but this was way to long for the beginning of the class.
Quit after 8 1/2 minutes.
I really enjoyed this practice. Calm and relaxing. Thank you for the good vibrations :)

It was too slow, the holds on the poses lasted to long that it was not really relaxing as I keep thinking when will this end.

Not often I do this type of class but glad I did. Really enjoyed it. Loved Nickys occasional giggle throughout. Cute and made me smile.

Thank you so much Nicky :) Love your work/play :) Always encourages me to go deeper and release and open on many levels.
Bless you :)
