I can't thank you enough Melissa for this yoga session. It's the one I first came to on Do Yoga With Me four years ago. And today I have done it again after a 3 month break from yoga. I immediately feel more at home in myself. Thank you for your clear, gentle instructions.

This is a great class, but it would be even better if it could be re-recorded with live commentary and the natural sound of the ocean/ birds etc. rather than the piped piano music. The live classes are much better......

Melissa's Bend and Stretch class would have been far more relaxing to me if I could HEAR her without straining. Even with my bluetooth earbuds connected and turned all the way up, I had difficulty--made worse by the shots of the surrounding environment rather than letting me see what she was doing. Over 58 million people in North America have hearing loss. Pleas remember us too and project your voice!

I have been doing this one for years, maybe you will need to do something else or seek treatment. Some of us do protect our hearing. There are amazing hearing devices on the market. I am sure you can stream the sound seamlessly and with a greater hearing right to your ears. The price is well worth not losing the ability to understand speech by delaying treatment.
