Side Stretches and Twists

Thank you! Feels great ! I really liked everything about this class, the movements , guidance , attitude of acceptance, and the beautiful beach. I really have to talk myself into doing a class longer than 30ish minutes, but I see how good you feel. I must allow for this length more often. It helps that it is part of the 2 week challenge so one has already committed to all the classes. :o)

beautiful practice thank you!

so grateful for DYWM. Thank YOU.

Always love Melissa's delivery, she has the best classes.

Thanks again Melissa. Always love your gate poses and the slower process of getting to a relaxed twist.

I've had a really sore lower back the past couple of days so have done a few classes on here to try and help. This one was fantastic. I love how Melissa offers different options and levels to suit, and love love love how she got us into reclined twist, starting on your side then opening up the shoulder, as opposed to starting on your back and dropping your legs to the side. I've never done it this way before but it definitely felt safer for my back doing it this way. Wonderful stretchy, relaxing class and Melissa has a lovely way of leading the class. Felt great after this.

Another worderful c;ass from Melissa. Thanks! I am all twisted and turned out:)
I also do appreciate that your give cues for left or right.

What a lovely class! "What if you took the pose that was right for your body instead of the pose you think you should do?" Great question and invitation. How great to normalize teaching to a spectrum of body capabilities and offer the advanced pose as a variation. Thank you. Namaste.

What a great lesson - perfect pace. Very relaxing. I really liked this one. Thank you for giving the instructions for which side to use - left or right - it really helps as one tends to forget which leg one used the first time around.

This is the practice I would love to return to at least once a week. Very relaxing. Thanks for very detailed instructions and ease of spacing.

Beautiful. I love the gentleness of Melissa's classes. I always feel so well cared for.

Gorgeous playlist too

Excellent! Greatly appreciate the slow flow to truly feel my body adjust to each form. With a fused lower back and broken upper, this gets into the crinks! Thank you!

My husband and I do your classes several times a week. We thoroughly enjoy your pacing, your instructions and your presence. Thank you for such lovely teaching.

I will definitely be returning to this practice. The perfect slow-flow with a relaxing soundtrack to boot! My body feels so spacious and relaxed. Thank you, Melissa!

Spacious. That’s how I feel after sharing this practice with Melissa. Lovely, as all of her classes are.

This was a great slow, relaxing flow to elongate my spine after a long day at my desk in front of the computer. There were some unique poses that I appreciated. I would have liked some additional check ins for the positioning of my hips in the warrior poses and cobra. Also, it's my personal preference to not just step back into warrior poses, I feel like the positioning of my feet is never right when I do that. I'll be coming back to this class!

Great class! Melissa's classes are always a safe bet. And it's worth playing the music that goes with it; I was pleasantly surprised by the playlist... Some of the songs are not your classic yoga tunes, and go very well with the most "active" part of the class. Loved it!

beautiful !!

Nice and gentle stretches for days when energy is low

:( The video stalled out at the 35 min mark "an error occurred while loading this video". It was a very lovely class up til then! I enjoyed the variety of movements as well as the pace of it.
