Thank you for this enjoyable practice! I always learn something new in Melissa's classes. I loved the permission to play around with how to do child's pose. I was always taught it had to be done one way and I found it uncomfortable and sometimes painful. After this class, I have found a modification that works better for me and now see how this can be a resting pose.

I always appreciate Melissa's attitude and approach. A lovely "reminder" practice on how to approach yoga and... life, really.

We were just saying "I think we need some Melissa Yoga tonight" and we were not disappointed. Namaste :)
