I'm rehabilitating a frozen shoulder: this class is perfect. David's meditation at the start and end leads you in and out beautifully.

My shoulders are always tight and these stretches, different from the ones you usually see, are very effective for me.

It amazes me each time I do this class, how effective it really is. This class has the equivalent effect of a chiro adjustment and massage for me. As I hold the poses and make the slight adjustments with David's ques, I can hear and feel my joints making small pops and letting go. SO helpful as a chronic headache sufferer.

I keep coming back to this class over and over again. Definitely one of my favorites on this site. Thank you David, for the gentle guidance and the wonderful release for the back and shoulders!
