Vinyasa Yoga: Focus On Twists
This is a more gentle vinyasa style yoga class with a focus on using your breath and core to get you into your seated, standing and lunging poses. It's intended to slow you down and allow you to give more attention to your poses, with an emphasis on twists.
This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 13 of the Daily Dose 30-Day Intermediate Yoga Challenge.

I have been doing yoga for many years and I never really understood how it could actually feel good. My hamstrings are VERY tight and always have been, so seated forward folds have always been uncomfortable. The way Melissa worded how a seated forward fold should be done and the purpose of it, taking the hamstrings out of the equation, really turned on a light for me. I actually enjoyed it! I enjoyed the entire practice. Thank you, Melissa.
Thank you Melissa! This was a nice class to remind me to breath and how to breath using the core. Lately in other classes I've been neglecting proper breathing trying to get through the poses. Particularly with the seated twist, I noticed how doable the pose is without pushing yourself to turn with the arms. That's a big takeaway for me from this class. Would love a longer version of this class too!
