This was actually my first class over 10 minutes and I absolutely loved it! Thank you so much. I'm pretty proud of myself for getting through it and I think it has all to do with the way the class was taught and the fantastic video.

Namaste.

Hi Melissa,

Thanks for a great practice. I did it after a home kettlebell workout.

Coincidentally I'm visiting Victoria over the next few days. If I can get away from the kids, I'll try to come to the studio.

Cheers,
Mommymd

Love this practice! It especially feels great after a session of strength training, a great way to cool down after and stretch everything out.

Thank you Melissa!
My new year's resolution was to start and commit to yoga a day for my mind, body and spirit. Thankfully I found you the first week of the new year:)and have been coming back daily. I particularly love bend and stretch!
When can we expect more??
The 20-30min videos are the best as I can fit them into my morning routine.
Thank you, thank you!
