This gentle beginner practice with Melissa is a full body slow flow with a sprinkling of core work throughout. Note: You will need a block or pillow for this practice.
A perfect balance of relaxation and light exertion to wake up my joints and muscles. I love this as a good “back to basics” flow. I’m sure I’ll come back to this practice often!
Loved this class. I did it first thing in the morning after a late night and felt so renewed and energised afterwards. Many thanks Melissa, you nailed it :-)
That was my experience with this class too… had a late night last night and this was my morning practice today :) A perfect, gentle transition to the day!
Delicious gentle stretching that was just this ticket this Sunday morning after a several days of inactivity due to bad cold. Melissa is a great teacher - explains things well and gives plenty of options in each pose. TY Melissa! 🌈
Fabulous class... I always practice in the mornings, and this class brings in energy and raises the intensity slowly, allowing me to come fully awake. Thank You!
I loved this class and the choices given throughout the class to meet my needs. I was “sticky” in a few places throughout my body and this class helped to smooth everything out. Thanks for a great class, Melissa!
Loved the class, as usual with Melissa's classes. In my humble opinion, though, this class should be ranked as Beginner II. I usually find Intermediate classes too challenging to follow them through completely, and that didn't happen while following this one, because even for the more demanding bits of the class, easier options were offered every time. Of course, I'm only based on my own experience, but I nearly skipped it seeing it was an Intermediate class. So my suggestion mainly intends that other beginners won't miss it assuming it will be too hard for them.
Hi! I agree with you and didn't notice that is was listed as intermediate 1 and not beginner 2. I flagged it and send it over to the higher powers at DYWM and hope to get that adjusted. Thanks for reaching out!

I love this slow flow practice, a nice blend of stretch and strength. Thank you, Melissa!
It is funny how sometimes it's better to do less to gain more. This definitely was that type of class. Namaste!
I agree with this completely! :)

This is great! Just enough to make my body feel strengthened and stretched and wanting to come back for more. Thanks Melissa!

A lovely practice for Christmas morning. I will return to this one many times this year. Thank you.
Perfect light core strengthening & grounding for Christmas morning!

Fabulous to wrap up a humid muggy day….thank you
Another great class from Melissa. This is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Thank you so much.
A nice grounding practice for a Full Moon day; settles down the restless energy. Thank you!
Nice gentle full body flow for when I was feeling a bit depleted but also craving some yoga.
first class - great energy - loved it

Hi Moflrnz,
The change has been made :)
Perfect pace of strength and stretch after a stressful week of limited sleep and lots of walking in high heels!
Thank you! It’s always a good day when there’s a new Melissa video! I really enjoyed both the level of challenge and the pacing/holding of poses.
This was just what I needed Melissa. I enjoyed the pace, your description of poses and your pleasant voice. Thank you.
Thank you Melissa. It's a lovely practice that gently brings awareness to (and reminders of) some important aspects.
One of my new favourite Melissa videos! Nice slow pace with just enough strength to keep it interesting :)
