Restorative Yoga for Stress Relief

Sweet and slow. Good for my soul.

Lovely class, great way to end the day.

Feel so relaxed after this class. Thank you.

Thank you for this beautiful class!

Thanks Melissa. A nice mid-day restorative on this rainy day.

Thanks for this Melissa. I am doing the ongoing intermediate program and I am inserting restorative yoga on the in between days. Another way that makes DYWM so flexible.

Thank you SO much for this!! It's exactly what I needed to reset my mind. <3

Thanks again.

Thanks Melissa. I’m doing a lot of restorative practice these past two weeks as I recover from a muscle strain. Also great for stress relief at this time in the world.

Just what we all need now Melissa - a little restorative yoga. I have saved this one as a bookmark.

Melissa, it's day one of my country's borders being closed on account of our pandemic. The world is in the midst of the biggest energy shift in several generations, and I was feeling really overwhelmed. Finally I found the wisdom to look up one of your classes, and I found this. What a perfect gift. Thankyou so much.

Words can almost not describe how beautiful this class is. The pace, sequencing, use of props, music, even tone of Melissa's voice just made me sink so deeply into my practice- much needed after picking up a bug from children and consequential 'man flu' symptoms...

This class was just what I needed to rid myself of free floating anxiety. Now I am relaxed and focused. I will take this feeling with me throughout my day. Thank you Melissa!

After five straight days of intense flows, twists, binds, stretches, inversions, and core work, my muscles were feeling sore. Today, after a long, humbling day at work, I decided not to force myself to attempt another advanced video (avoiding any frustrations from not being able to complete a peak pose for example). Melissa's class was a much needed relief from everything and it was important that I was able to carve out these moments of silence and calm. I am deeply grateful for this. Thank you.

This class is so beautiful. Thank you for this offering.

Do yoga with me

Moving meditation ...

Hello! First, I love, love, love all of your classes, Melissa. I am a latecomer to yoga but it has done and continues to do so much for me (body and soul)- so I really cannot thank you enough!

Most of all, though, thank you for converting me into a yoga enthusiast!!

I found this restorative practice to be very thorough. I am currently doing yoga every day, so restorative practices are a necessity to give my body and mind rest I would otherwise miss. Thank you very much. The Sankalpa was a very powerful tool for me...doing yoga every day has brought up a lot, especially through my dreams and I found this practice healing. Namaste from Ireland.

I felt anxious and a bit on edge since I woke this morning, for no known reason, so I chose this class in a bid to bring myself back to some state of calm. This soothing and relaxing class is exactly what I needed.....thank you so much Melissa this class is now bookmarked. :))

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Melissa, for your gentle and caring way...lovely restorative practice.

Dear Melissa,

At first I did not understand why I intuitively clicked "Restorative yoga", my mind even doubting to go jogging. During the practice I also did not understand why I clicked, and immediately after I thought I just felt "a bit more calm". Only now, about 30 min after, I only realise in what frantic state of mind I have been all afternoon, and what beautiful brake you helped me put to this racing mind... Before the practice had wild plans of dragging my broken body to far away places this evening, but now I am again listening to my music playlist in the kitchen for the first time in many months... Thank you so much!

I think this is the first time I have cried from the feeling of ananda created in a yoga practice. It was a much needed release. Thank you for a beautiful practice.

Thank you very much for the practices. They are very useful. I feel absolutely calm and relaxed after them. It's just a fantastic feeling.

Just what I needed. I woke up at 4am, unable to relax, with that stressed tightness in the chest. I knew tossing and turning wouldn't be restful. This practice was the help into relaxation I needed to calm my mind and body. Thank you!

Thank you Melissa, this was exactly what I needed after a very stressful few days.
