wonderful! your guide/voice enables one to stay calm, focused, and open to opening one's body, rather than focusing on what is not possible. wonderful! thank you.

I have been coming back to this class for several years now. It is such a nice sequence and Melissa is an excellent teacher.

The piano is very nice, but I prefer it for the studio classes. I miss the ocean sound that was originally with this class. Just a note!

I just re-joined Do Yoga with Me, and this practice reminded me why! There are so many options out there, but the professionalism of a production like this is rare. I love that the video was shot in such a beautiful location, the lovely music, and Melissa's calm instructions.

This is a beautiful practice...coming back to it after a few years. Melissa's style and voice is so soothing, exactly what I needed today.
