Restoring Equilibrium

Body and Mind Maintenance! Forgotten how many times I have been taken this class, always wonderful.

Grand White Oaks, Master Teacher, most excellent pacing and stretch sequences. Thank you David.

thanks David, your voice is perfect for this - surprisingly challenging even though it was all on the floor.

so relaxing I nearly fell asleep at the end in Shivasana. Fabulous deep stretches.

Wonderful, some lovely deep stretches combined with total relaxation.

I wish this class could continue on and on. So relaxing for every part of my body and especially my mind. I come back often and remember the relaxed feeling.

If you are, like me, someone who tenses up automatically when told to relax, don't be discouraged by the first 15 minutes of this – the active part that comes next is FANTASTIC. It has long been one of my go-tos whenever I have been too busy to practice (I know, I know) and feel all "twisted up" with cranky back muscles and hips. Since several attempts at the initial relaxation have all proven unfruitful, I usually just jump in at around 14', with or without some previous relaxation by methods better suited to my personal wiring :-).

Thank you for this class. I did this class a lot when I first started practicing yoga. Today I revisited it again because I'm recovering from a cranky back and a broke toe. This class is just what I needed. During the end of class meditation I could actually feel the healing energy going to my toe. Wow, I've never had that to happen before. You have helped me so much over the years. Thanks!

Every part of my body was stretched and relaxed in this class. Highly recommend.

Thank you for this relaxation, I needed a sense of peace today...

Just what I needed! Wonderful, thank you :-)

Such a beautiful class. I’m filled with gratitude for David and Do Yoga With Me.

❣️

Great class, thank you. Unfortunately the video crashed twice but it was still worth it, I feel fab :-)

Thank you. I needed that. :)

Thank you! I have arthritis and the pain was so severe I could not even lay on my back for the meditation. By the end of the class, not only could lay on my back, but I fell asleep during the meditation.

Thanks David. This was just what I needed in this beginner-to-inter. program after a day of cardio (snowshoeing). This program was very well thought out and so balanced - I am really enjoying it.

This gentle, restorative class was a perfect way to reset for the new year.

What a wonderful class! I loved the relaxation at the beginning and found it created a great baseline for me as we moved forward into the class. David, you are such a blessing. The way you describe each pose is so easy to follow and is perfectly paced. I feel amazing right now and will definitely return to this class again. Thank you! -Tish

Wonderfully relaxing and calming. Just what I wanted for today - to find a sweet balance during the weirdness....thank you

Thank you so much! This was the perfect treat for myself. I am wondrously relaxed and I feel great all over. My mind is ready for church, my body is ready for life - great way to start the week!

A very slow and gentle class, I felt relaxed at the end and enjoyed the poses.

Thank you David.
(nice outdoor setting too)

Thank you so much, David. This is just what i need right now during scary lockdown times to restore a sense of balance and send healing energy to those areas of my body that are suffering during the forced inactivity. You are a treasure. Be well.

perfect class for me today...eliminated tightness in body and restored my sense of calm...David does a great job at fine tuning the poses in order to address all the muscles in the big joints (hips and shoulders) for a complete and deeply relaxed body

I love this class, but returned after several months to find this video does not seem to be working.

Thank you, David.
That was a very calming, relaxing, gentle class.

David, I enjoyed this class very much. I love the relaxation at the beginning and the end,
And I love that I was close to the ground the whole class. Just what I needed tonight. I’ll be doing this class again.

For a high-strung person like me, the long relaxations at the beginning and end are just the thing. David, you are so good at these gentle guided meditations. And my hips really love this session, too. I like it in the morning, to calm my nervous system and set the tone for the day. Thank you!

I am an intermediate/advanced yogi. Today I woke up stiff and sore from lack of practice over the holidays, so I wanted some gentle reintroduction. Laying on my back for 10 minutes without any warm-up was uncomfortable. I would skip most of that next time. Otherwise, good class.

Great for a day when I am quite stiff. Very gentle and relaxing. Glad it was a whole session on the mat.

I highly recommend this class by David if you are experiencing any anxiety as I 'was'! Utmost gratitude!

Thank you, David for a wonderful relaxing class. I feel well stretched.

Love how this is part of the Yoga for Runners program. Adds a really nice balance.

Wonderful relaxation and joint opening class!

Another excellent class, relaxing, re-energizing from a quiet place, and restoring equilibrium for mind and body - thank you so much, David!
Love your classes, in nature, supporting the therapeutic effect.
Definitely a bookmark, and go-to.

This is a very gentle class, beginning with 15 minutes of relaxation. I made the mistake of doing this one in the morning and wanted to issue a fair warning: Unless you work the night shift or something, mornings are probably not the right time for this class. :)

David, I have been following your classes for some time now and they never seem to disappoint- beautiful guidance of breathing and poses. Always a pleasure listening to your calming voice and awakening with compassion for self and others. Thank you. Namaste.

Thank you David for this wonderful class! My mind felt totally relaxed and in peace and my body melted on the mat! Namaste!

Thank you for such an amazing class. I am a beginner and appreciated th clear instructions so much. I also liked holding the poses for longer, I really felt the stretches! I bookmarked this one.

Awesome!!! Unbelievable. What a way to stretch and relax after working all day- I feel so revived! Thank you for doing what you do!!!

I had a really busy weekend and this class restored my balance for the week. So nice to start Monday morning feeling relaxed and not rushed. Thank you David

Thanks for a luciously relaxing practice today. My body needed this

This is a go-to class when I'm experiencing pain from my medical condition. I'm able to modify some of the poses and the relaxation sections at the beginning and ending take the edge off of my pain.

This class was exactly what I needed on this rainy day.

This class is great, even if you skip the first 14 minutes and the last 7 minutes. Wonderful leg stretches and hip openers.

David,

Thank you for being such a wonderful yoga instructor. I woke up this morning with my side hurting so although I'm far from beginner-- tried this slow and gentle session and am almost pain free. I recommend doyogawithme to everyone and do at least one workout with you daily -- sometimes more. Planning to share some $$$ with you as soon as I have extra.

Another relaxing and opening beginner class. Thanks for this gem of a website David!

I have a lot of issues with osteoarthritis, lumbar, and sciatica. Despite this, I was able to complete this class...and I LOVED IT!!! I felt so relaxed and ready to take on the world after this class. Thank you so much, David, for this website and for sharing your wonderful gift with the world. Namaste, Brother.

My back and neck has been cranky for a few days but after doing this wonderfull set I feel light and balanced and the crankiness is gone! I absolutely love the sequence on the bolster with the feet in the air and the following hip stretch.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful classes. I appreciate your huge generosity in hosting them on this great site. I recommend it to everyone I know. Namaste
