Restoring Balance
Appropriate for students of all levels, David guides you through a gentle, relaxing flow that stretches the body effectively and focuses on balance, both mental and physical. This hatha yoga class stretches the back, shoulders, hips, hamstrings and hip flexors and finishes with a beautiful, deep sivasana.

I found the poses in this class nice, and loved the stretching, but thought the instruction was a little lacking. The transitions between poses were long and slow, but David didn't guide me through them as much as I felt I needed to be guided. As a beginner I found the descriptions of movement vague - "come out of the pose" doesn't describe enough to me. I think I may have done something a little wrong - perhaps didn't protect my back during one of the transitions - because I wound up with tweaked back muscles the next day. (Full disclosure: I only made it through the seated portion of the class before I stopped.)
This is the first video on Do Yoga With Me that I haven't liked, but I will just move on to others that I do like! It's such a wonderful site.
Balance work has always been my weakness, especially the older I get. Liked the progression of standing poses in this sequence. Practice, practice, practice. Love David's calming voice, demeanor.
I'm 22 and over weight but always wanted to try this stuff but was too nervous and self-aware to. This teaching was remarkable and I'm going to keep up with it. Thank you guys very much.
I normally do the Power/Vinyasa sessions, so this was a nice surprise in gentleness, relaxing completely and taking great care with oneself. For me this whole thing was an exercise in patience to slow down and cherish easing into and out of every pose. Nice feeling afterwards.
