I find that this is not one to go for when looking for a deep, knot relaxing stretch, but is perfect for those days that I need to reaffirm a sense of peace. This class absorbs you completely in the calming sounds of the waves and piano - accompanied perfectly by Melissa's soothing voice over. It felt like it was over in minutes

Oh. My. Goodness. What a lovely stretch~just what I needed. Just the right pace, and LOTS of great tips and reminders, just at the right moments, to keep all the parts working together nicely for best effect. So glad I did this one today!

I truly enjoy this peaceful Beginner stretch. I feel so relaxed upon completion. Sometimes, I just like to start again, and this is one of my favorite yoga practice sessions.
