Hello, David!
I just wanted to drop a line to thank you so much for doing all of this. Right now I'm a phD candidate in Boulder, CO, and though it's very much a "yoga town," I don't yet have the flexibility of income to support my burgeoning yoga habit. I've practiced on and off for about 10 years (...and I just realized I'm getting old...), but your website has really helped me to develop a home practice when I can't make it to a physical class.
So, thanks to you and all the amazing instructors! Once I get a little more settled, I have a wish list of audio classes to download, but until then, I'll continue to click on ads that interest me, in the hope you get some revenue from it.
Again, thank you so much! Your website changes lives!
I am writing to say thank you.
I found this amazing website last night by chance, googling to find variations for shoelace pose in yin yoga. I'm absolutely blown away by the quality and quantity of the teachings here and even more so by the amazing generosity of spirit that is being shown by the team who are making this possible - making yoga accessible to those who otherwise might not be able to afford to start practicing.
Without viewing a full video yet, I have made my first modest donation and I will continue to do so. I truly believe that this is an important project for me to support.
Yoga has changed my life in so many ways, in just my first year of practice. My life is richer and freer and happier since setting my feet on this path. I want that for others and I think that by the grace you are showing here, I am able to participate in a small way, and pay it forward. I look forward to becoming a regular visitor to your site in my continuing journey.
Sincere thanks, namaste.
I can't thank you enough for your classes that have inspired me in my home practice as well as in my teaching. The guidance, direction and challenges presented in the classes that I have taken are simply remarkable.
Your generosity in providing these services to all is quite incredible.
I hope to be in a position to help support your efforts.
I discovered your website about two 1/2 years ago when I first began to practice yoga. Since then I have enjoyed many of your classes on a semi-regular basis, and also shared them with my friends. I think that the Do Yoga with Me Project is absolutely fantastic as it allows individuals who can't afford regular yoga lessons a means to practice with direction and guidance from some inspiring teachers such as yourselves.
Having taken advantage of your generosity for quite sometime I am now in a financial position to donate and I hope that this will help you to keep the website running so that others less fortunate than me can continue to be inspired.
All the best,
I discovered your site this morning when searching for a switch up to my normal yoga routine. I usually do slow restorative yoga for my back pain - which has relieved my pain so much! This morning I felt ready to bump it up a notch. Why did it take me so long to get into yoga practices?!
This site is perfect- I love the different video length options, levels, styles, teachers. I did several of David's videos and didn't want to stop!! 20 minutes turned into an hour and a half before I forced myself to stop and get ready for work.
I feel great, my back feels great, and can't wait to get back after work and do more. What a wonderful site, thank you for providing free yoga sessions, I will keep coming back.
I'm writing to thank you for your wonderful website.
I recently started using your guided body relaxation meditations. The best I've come across yet. I've been dealing with an alignment issue that was causing sleep disturbance and after one use of your program, it helped correct the issue. I've been using it almost daily since.
I felt compelled to write and thank you for making such a difference in the quality of my life. with gratitude
Doyogawithme has made such a difference to me since finding it last year.
I have enjoyed the practice of every teacher I have tried - so varied but all sharing a common spirit I think. Special thank you to you (David), Kim Wilson and Fiji McAlpine though for your beautiful kind positivity, energy and strength which just radiate:)
Have promoted DYWM to so many friends and family... especially parents with young kids who find it hard to escape the house for a traditional class. I have also worked a lot with survivors of domestic violence and it is invaluable to be able to recommend your site - as a way of nurturing and being kind to themselves, after going through great trauma and unkindness.
We need more people like you guys in the world! You lovely yogis and your site reminds me of how much good there is within us and out there:)
Kindest regards
I just found your website on the recommendation of my husband to have a yoga class at home when the weather is bad outside...I live in OH. I am looking forward to adding your classes to my routine to supplement the ones offered at the gym.
I have lower back and knee challenges and need some gentle care...thank you for a wonderful online presence for those of us who are learning to treat ourselves better.
Thank you so much.
My girlfriend and I have been taking courses with DoYogaWithMe instructors for the past three weeks or so. Just before New Year's we committed to doing an hour of yoga everyday as a way of life and living. We had been practicing but more infrequently. After three weeks, it seems we're wanting to do more than an hour every day. :-)
We've enjoyed all of the instructors with whom we have practiced. We like the variety and the soulful spirit and natural rhythm of the classes. The outdoor settings and music are beautiful. They really help deepen our practice. We are most certainly benefiting in all kinds of ways. I recommend your site to everyone.
So our thanks goes out to you for founding DoYogaWithMe, for sharing your practice with others, for loving in this way.
Hello! I just wanted to say thank you!
I earn less than $10,000/year but still want to make my health a priority. Gym/studio memberships are out of the question with my salary and I was so thrilled to find this incredible website!
What a great resource - I hope to contribute little by little when I can. Thank you for being considerate of those who want to practice yoga but do not necessarily have the financial resources.
I've been practicing for only three weeks at an intermediate level. I live next door to a yoga studio (Charm City Yoga in Baltimore, MD) and, while I try to make it to the studio at least 4-5 days/week, I've found that the videos you provide on your site are a great way to practice either when my schedule is hectic or away from town, and I can even see them replacing regular studio practice as my form continues to develop.
The videos are all high quality, accessible, and the instructors who I've viewed so far are great. I appreciate the service you offer and plan on creating a monthly donation next month to show my appreciation for the quality of the site, videos, and instructors.
Best,
I appreciate so much the time, effort, expertise and passion that glows through in the Do Yoga With Me site. So many wonderful yoga teachers and fabulous classes.
As a rural yoga practitioner, I really appreciate visiting your site. I also need and want practicing with warm bodies, but when that isn’t feasible, (often), your instructors provide warmth and good vibes that flow through technology.
Hugs to all.
I just wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU so much for creating this amazing website with such wonderful videos full of amazing instructors! Your online videos are absolutely incredible. The instructors are so descriptive and caring. I honestly wish I could be friends with all of them in person : )
With a hectic lifestyle, busy work schedule. a large family, and friends, it can be challenging to make trips regularly to a studio to practice yoga. Thanks to doyogawithme.com, I'm able to practice yoga and meditation in the comfort of my own home, in comfortable clothes, in a peaceful space, without judgement, and with incredible helpful tips and guides with me on my computer.
The selection of videos is great and there's a class that fits my every need. I've introduced this site to many of my close friends and family and everyone LOVES it. We're all hooked.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and help.
Namaste.
I really do want to thank you for this site. A year ago, I had a serious fall while hiking in a ravine. Major ligament damage. It took six months before I could exercise at all.
When I could, I found your site and began doing yoga for an hour each morning religiously. It has been so, so helpful in my healing process. I'm just about back to normal now! What a difference your yoga has made in my life. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Have a wonderful holiday season,
Our yoga teacher told us about your website and I passed the info on to my sisters - so you now have fans in Boston, MA and Portland, ME.
Despite taking yoga classes for close to 20 years, i never was able to develop a practice at home, but your website is making that happen. Now I have a couple of classes to take with me when I travel so I am good to go also! My tight hips love your class, which also makes my arthritic knee feel better.
Thank you.
I came across your site by chance off google and I could almost say it has changed my life!
I divide my time between different parts of Tanzania, where I'm director of a large aid programme. It keeps me very busy and there aren't many classes around which suit people who don't finish work til 7ish most evenings!
Last week I tried out Ron's wonderful class which says its for those days when you're not sure you've got the energy or the motivation. It was so good the first thing I did when it was over was try and make a donation to your excellent work!
I do admire your spirit in trying to make things work on the basis of people's good nature that they will do what they can when they can. I hope it continues to work and that you all continue to flourish.
Best wishes
I just sent a donation to DoYogaWithMe.com. I am so happy to have found your site and have shared it with many other people.
As a teacher and practitioner of Yoga, I have found it invaluable in helping many who have chronic pain. Thank you for the work and energy you put into this website and for sharing it with us all!
I really appreciate what you are doing - providing a free service in something as critical to good health as yoga. The donation that I sent today is ultimately selfish: I want to make sure you continue providing this service!
I love yoga but have not had time to practice since having children, so your website is a real godsend. With your help, I plan to practice again regularly, from the comfort of my own home. So far I have only had time to go through your core activation series (a great refresher!) and to take one of Fiji's beginner classes (excellently taught! Her attention to posture and positioning is much appreciated). And that was enough to convince me that I will be using your website often enough to warrant a donation.
Thank you and all the wonderful teachers on your website!
What a wonderful idea and very yogic in its principles. Its so refreshing to see a website in the truest yoga tradition.
I will be immediately cancelling my online subscription to another yoga site and will donate that monthly money to yours. Safe in the knowledge that I am helping in your promise to bring the beauty of yoga to those who may not be able to afford it (yet, if ever). Safe in the knowledge that if ever there comes a time that I cannot afford it, I may still participate in the classes you make available.
You are receiving some really good praise around the social networks!
Namaste.
I really want to send you a message to thank you for your videos. I have been doing one of your hamstrings, hip, back video for about a month and it's soooooooo great and has helped me so much. It has made me enjoy yoga again and most importantly has allowed me to continue with my fitness routine without injury.
It is now an integral part of my week. I have shared it with a bunch of people... so I figured I owed you at least some token of appreciation. If anything I wish I could afford to give more. What you do is so generous and such a lovely, refreshing attitude of giving and sharing knowledge and skill.
All the best!
