Thanks, Michelle for this wonderful yoga video. I'm recovering from recent surgery for bowel cancer so I'm not able to do my usual yoga practice but this is just perfect to aid my recovery - I can feel myself getting stronger day by day so many thanks for this inspirational yoga video in a breathtakingly beautiful setting.
This was just what I needed to get re-started after a knee injury that has seriously limited my mobility. I do have to agree with the previous comment about the over-fast breathing in parts. I ignored the breathing instructions when following them would have made me hyperventilate, but otherwise this was an excellent class.
I tried another beginner yoga video first. And much to my dismay, my body let me know that it's not ready for that amount of activity yet. So, I decided to try chair yoga. I love it!!! I felt so good when I finished. I didn't feel any tension or stress to my body, especially my joints. However, I did notice some sweat. :-) This is what I need to get my body ready for more. Baby steps...
Michelle, this is wonderful. I have been teaching seniors for about 6 yrs. To avoid getting stale I search the internet for fresh ideas. You gave me plenty. You remind me to do things I overlook because they are so simple or combine things in ways I never thought to do, such as prayer hands twist. The previous commenter should hit the pause button to slow the pace if that is her concern. I say focus instead on what value there is in what you offer - clear instruction with kindness and much variety. I applaud you for offering this for free.
With gratitude & Namaste,
