Vinyasa Yoga: Focus On Twists

Thanks Melissa ….a very nice satisfying class.

One of my favorite classes for getting in touch with my breath and body, love the driftwood whale in the background!

What a wonderful class. Thank you Melissa

I have been doing your classes for years. This is one of my favorites. Love it! Thanks!

I do completely agree with the comments before. Please give use more intermediate classes with Melissa. That was just wonderful. Thanks!

I agree. More intermediate classes with Melissa. I always finish any of Melissa's classes feeling so much better in body, mind and spirit. Thank you

I love all of Melissas classes, her instructions are calm and forgiving. She doesnt talk to much during poses, all I can ask for is more Melissa.

I love your intermediate 1 classes, I can feel myself strengthening and stretching safely. Thanks so much!

Hi Melissa,
This class was excellent for the work on stability and core, transition in lunge levels were very effective allowing me to sense where strengthneing would be offer me more support.
i also really appreciated the location of your video, it offered me a sense of spaciousness.
Thank you

Thank you for this sweet flow. It starts slow, but you end doing a complete sessions. I loved the emphasis on twists (balance, flexibilite, core and strength, all at the same time!). I agree with others that it would be nice to have some more intermediate classes from Melissa. Namaste!

Thanks. I feel happy now, thank God for yoga at this time.

Thank you Melissa, I'm feeling ALIVE!

A lovely start to my day, thank you. And I love the beach setting :)

Really nice class! I would also love to see more intermediate classes from Melissa. I started my yoga journey with her beginner classes. Would enjoy doing more of hers as I advance. Thanks for this one!

More intermediate classes from Melissa - please?? I’m an intermediate/advanced yogi but I have some chronic injuries that remind me to slow down every now and then. I’ve always turned to Melissa’s classes because she slows things down and has such a calming way with words and flow - but they’re also a little too easy and my mind wanders and my body disengages. This intermediate class was PERFECT. Just enough challenge to keep my body engaged but my mind calm. I would love to see more intermediate level classes from her!!

Thank you Melissa. I always love your classes and I'm delighted there is now a vinyasa in your collection. Thank you for the quiet stillness in the holds alongside the gentle instruction.

I sometimes lose balance on some twists, this class was great at helping me remedy that get more focus on my core. Thank you!

Peaceful class - just what I needed today. Enough challenge for an intermediate yogi with poses held long enough to focus on sensations and breath. I appreciate Melissa's calm instructions and gentle delivery. Thank you!

Very nice intermediate practice; perfect for after my bike ride. Loved the tip to "be heavy in the legs but light in the arms" while transitioning from lunge to crescent pose. Thank you!

I always love Melissa's classes and this one is no exception.

Thank you.

I loved this class. I seem to get more out of the slowed down classes rather than the fast paced classes that don't hold poses as long. Really enjoyed this one.

Melissa always leads a wonderful class. Her joyful presence and mindful pacing allow for deep release. Her focus on the "deep core" is a doorway to inner strength.

A lovely slower class that really lets you focus on breath is much appreciated - as is the options for poses, thankyou

❤️

Wonderful Vinyasa! Thanks.

Melissa is a constant light in my days. Her yoga classes are a ritual in my life. I am forever grateful.

enjoyed the twists....

Really love this class. Melissa's calm and gentle style really resonate with me and i find so much in this class that is nourishing for the body and mind. Yoga is starting to transform my life and DYWM is a big part of it. Thank you!!

I feel enlivened after this lovely practice. It’s brief but complete and gentle but strengthening. Thank you!

Great class to get back to moving my body after being in bed for 5 days with the flu. Thanks Melissa!

nice gentle class for morning wakeup.

nice gentle class for morning wakeup.

Love the flow of this class and many twists. And classes by the ocean are always a winner for me!

Very twisty! Nice slower pace

This was a great class for me today and will be one I can do with my daughter who is just beginning to practice. Poses are straight forward and not too complicated for a beginner, while enough challenge for my intermediate practice.

Very nice sequence, I feel awesome!

Very nice and gentle class. I loved the options to take less challenging poses as needed.

Thank you, Melissa, for a delightful class, with deep core focus guiding our twists. I love practicing indoors in Alaska on a cold winter day, watching you doing your yoga in the warm summer sands of Canada!

I love Melissa's classes

This is the perfect practice for me. I’ll be returning to this again and again.

This is the perfect practice for me. I’ll be returning to this again and again.

Great morning class and an excellent transition video for those on the beginner / intermediate line.

Love it!

Just what I needed this morning! My lower back has been giving me a little bit of trouble, so some mindful ab work and twists are just the right thing. Thanks for a great class! Namaste. <3

Nice relaxing pace.

Wonderful class, I love the focus on using core strength to twist, rather than the leverage from arms. Although slower and gentle, works up a good sweat! Very relaxing!

Nice, chill flow. Just what I needed this morning.

A very nice well-paced gentle flow! I especially enjoyed the degree of autonomy which is granted to the student in transitions :)
