Thankyou for the advice about pillows and supports. I unfortunately gained an extra Covid roll on my stomach (!) and with this gain I experienced new back pain and decreased flexibility. I was concerned it would be too hard for me to do yoga but with the supports I persevered. I am excited to continue with yoga.
Thank you David! You are the perfect teacher for my introduction to yoga. It was wonderful.
I love this routine and will continue to practice it until it’s committed to memory!
WOW! This was my first class and I felt relief in my lower back already. This is amazing since I was already needing to go for therapy for my back. I love it and will continue with these yoga classes. Thanks David!
