Hey, I'd like to thank you for your calming and facilitating tone in your instructions. This is the first time I'm trying doing yoga but I can see how beneficial it is for body and soul. Namaste :)
Hi David,
Your instructions are super easy to follow and at the end of session I find my self more calm. Thanks for that!
One thing I like to mention to you is, there is always feeling of contracted muscles underneath ribcage more towards spinal cord,
It feels like breathing is blocked when I try to focus on that area.
thanks
Thank you! Before children and returning back to work, I used to have a regular yoga practice. I decided to complete this class as a refresher and found it extremely useful. I was able to make adjustments to basic poses which have been uncomfortable in the past due to tightness. His instructional style is excellent for anyone, but especially if you are just beginning or are not blessed with natural flexibility! Thank you, again.
