Hello, I would be remiss if I began to enjoy this wonderful site and not thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family have had come upon some very difficult times due to illness, death, and other challenges. Aside from the mental strain that it has been, it has also been a financial one. One of the first things I gave up was caring for myself and cutting out my yoga classes. The new year brought with me the determination to get back to caring for me and immersing myself back into my yoga. Shopping for classes was disheartening, even online. The price of classes and the commercial aspect of some yoga services online really turned me off. Then I found your site. It is too good to be true that I thought certainly I must be dreaming - there must be a catch, but there is not. It is wonderful and beautiful, and true. I guarantee you that I will pay what I can each time I benefit from one of your beautiful classes. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Namaste

Dear David, Thank you so much for this site. As a person with limited means that loves and believes in the practice of yoga, Do Yoga With Me allows me to maintain my practice and experience phenomenal teachers that I otherwise would not have access to. Although my donations are nominal and inconsistent it is what I can do to show my gratitude, appreciation and support for this site of such value that you're giving away for free. I am truly grateful! Sincerely,

Dear David, Fiji. Rachel, Tracey and all those who put so much into DYWM: I live in Saldanha, very nearly halfway round the world from Victoria BC, on a very different West Coast to yours. We are 120km north of Cape Town in the Western Cape, South Africa. We don't have a yoga studio in our small town. Although I have been privileged to work with some wonderful teachers in nearby cities, in the 8 years since I moved here to farm oysters with my husband I have wanted to practice at home but have never found the discipline, nor felt competent to do asanas correctly. I discovered your marvelous site 3 months ago, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to tune in to so many very different and wonderful teachers at home. For the first time in my life, I am able to bring my practice home and truly into my life, so that I can feel the connections unique to yoga every day. We live on the shore of Saldanha Bay and I sometimes do your classes looking out at sunrise over the waters of the Atlantic and thinking how this somehow unites me with the settings of many of your beach or garden videos. Ours is a far from perfect world, but it is made much better by the links you are building with your philosophy. If some of us can start our days this way, perhaps we can distribute just a little of your light, calm and generosity through the lives of those we know. Namaste, every day, to each of you. Bless you, bless the spirit of what you do.

Dearest David My husband Carl made a donation to your site a few weeks ago and we received your thank you e-mail. I just wanted to let you know how very much I appreciate your site and the wonderful classes to choose from. I am a yoga teacher myself and my daily practice is a special treat being able to select a class suited to how I'm feeling and what I need each day. Bless you and your team for sharing this and may you all grow from strength to strength knowing how much you're giving to people out there. We live in Cape Town , South Africa and it's quite amazing how the internet has made it possible for you guys to be changing lives across the globe. I'm hoping to soon be a monthly donor . Many blessings for the festive season ahead and all the very best for 2015. Love and light

A friend suggested DoYogaWithMe when I was rehabbing after a knee injury. I got a lot from their Yoga For Athletes section. I've taken classes focusing on increasing the flexibility of the IT band and had great results. I've also done some of their Yoga For Runners classes, and have seen a decrease in soreness and injury frequency as a result. The level of instruction is excellent and comparable with sites that charge to view their videos. Basically, DoYogaWithMe rocks. Thanks, David, Fiji, and the rest of the team.

Like many of the other testimonials, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for this wonderful website. It is a breath of fresh air compared to all of the other monthly subscription sites and the quality of the instruction is outstanding. I usually practice yoga late at night and I already feel transformed by the access to such great videos, which I can watch anytime. I have made a donation to the site (which I NEVER do!) and encourage others to do the same. I have also forwarded the site to all my friends who have already started using it too. Thank you again. It is absolutely brilliant!

Hello David and others! I just have to say that this website has really helped change my life. I have always loved doing yoga, but wanted to start my own practice at home. I have yet to find another website that has such great videos and instruction...AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE FREE. You really are doing a service to SO MANY PEOPLE, I cannot express how grateful I am for your site. I just saw your programs tab as well, and am so excited to start a program! At this moment, as a recent graduate searching for work, I do not have much to give, but I will donate, even a little, because you all deserve it. Such wonderful instruction, and the motive behind your work is really to just spread the love of yoga and the beautiful calm lifestyle that comes with it. Thank you so much, and keep on keepin' on, because you are changing lives.

Hello David. I signed up on your site fairly recently, after a fair length of time on yogoTV and just felt ready for a change. I have really enjoyed the classes I have discovered, but tonight signed up for "Beginner to Intermediate" and just wanted you to know how amazing an experience it has been having just completed the first class. Everything - the setting, the music, the sequences, the voice of instruction - all worked so beautifully together. It was an amazing class. I have attended studios all over the world, retreats, practise regularly at home now... and this was a joy. Looking forward to tomorrow! Sincerely,

I love love love your site and all the teachers that I have practiced with thus far. I have recommended it to all my friends who do yoga (or not) as a really solid place to learn yoga practices at all levels that are comprehensive, safe, and well cued. I am just started my YTT 200 hour training at age 67 to deepen my own practice as I age and to share with others of my age and older, as well as my Let Your Yoga Dance practice. As part of my training for the training, aside from my local yoga teacher, I have been doing yoga with you and some of the other teachers since last Winter. I have learned so many new things, especially about entering the postures, making adjustments based on the verbal cues and breathing. I wish I lived on the West Coast, as I'd be traveling up to BC to take some classes. It is truly a fantastic service to others, and I so appreciate it. I want to support this and I hope others do as well. Kind regards, Namaste,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for this amazing resource. I am a PhD student and in a financially tight situation right now, thus I cannot afford regular yoga classes. Still I want to keep up my practice since it really helps me a lot relaxing from a day at the desk and keeping my back problems in check. I was really happy to find your site, the classes and courses are amazing! Although I can't contribute right now I will absolutely do so in the future when things aren't so tight any more. I hope I'll be able to give an appropriate amount soon. Wish you best of luck to keep this project going! With best wishes from Germany,

David, on behalf of my lovely wife Ann and I, we would like to thank you for the website and your wonderful techniques. We are new to yoga since 9 months and have discovered that you in our living room is the best yoga around! Keep up the excellence! Thank you so much!

After giving birth to my son, I was stuck at home and had no income and not much money to spare. My partner is still waiting for his visa to be granted so I am alone with the bub and unable to work or claim benefits. My body was in pieces, stiff, achey and I kept waking up in pain during the night. When I found doyogawithme, I couldn’t believe my luck. I started off with a 15min hip therapy class and never looked back. The short classes really do get down to business very quickly and being able to do a couple of them through the day increased my mobility and paved the way to good health. I’ve now lost 30kg of baby weight, sleep better and lordosis is partially corrected through pelvic and abdominal work. Without access to free yoga instruction at whatever time of day, it would have taken me a lot longer to ‘feel better’. And now, I know that when my back is aching from feeding, bending over prams and car seats, there’s a class or two which will target those tense spots. I know that when I have the luxury of an hour to myself, I’ll feel like a million bucks after one of the longer classes. So thank you, David, for such a brilliant resource! I also really appreciate that the website doesn’t “pester” for donations or limit access in any way. Wonderful. I will donate again! The effort of all involved to create such a genuinely useful and free resource is so appreciated. With thanks,

Hey David. I want to thank you for your wonderful website. I discovered it about half a year ago and I learned so much from a lot of the videos. I am 23 years old girl from Switzerland and study social work at the University. So at the moment I am between my studies of social work and my work as a social worker. Because of this I don't earn a lot and your site gave/gives me the possibility to do yoga without a lot of money. So I got further into the world of Yoga and decided to do a 200hrs this summer and now I teach in Switzerland. So thank you for being part of my Yoga path. I also discovered the Yoga programs now and downloaded one of them. At the moment I can't pay for it, but I want to do the program and save a bit of money and as soon as it is possible for me, I will pay for it. Thank you for sharing, that's what Yoga is all about, isn't it? A big hug from Switzerland,

This is just to thank DoYogaWithMe again (after a previous post in May) for these amazing videos. They are just great! I had initially thought that they are a good alternative to "real" classes - but they are even better! The flexibility of choosing the class I'd like and doing it at a time that suits me is so brilliant. Also - I really appreciate that recently a number of short(-ish) intermediate classes have been added. Great addition, as we don't always have time to do a full-length class. Namaste.

I just wanted to get in touch regarding the set up you have in terms of paying what you feel is appropriate for the course. A few weeks ago I downloaded the "Yoga For Absolute Beginners" course for free. The reason I have looked into yoga is for stress reasons and to coincide with a fitness plan I am involved with. It so happens to be a time for me where I have nothing in the bank but I wanted to send a thank you for all the work you put in to these videos. It has given me an amazing opportunity to avail of high quality yoga videos in my own home and although things are very tight at the moment, I will absolutely be donating to the cause as soon as they get better. So a heartfelt thank you and I truly hope things are going well for you all. Congratulations on the entire project.

I'm 4 months pregnant and have had to modify my practice for my changing body and growing belly. It was a little tough for me because I've always preferred studio run classes with groups but hadn't found a prenatal class in my area. Your online prenatal classes that I can do at home have been a life saver. I've since found a local studio with a prenatal class, which is great, but I still love practicing at home with yours. Your site has opened up a whole new realm in my practice by bringing it in to my home. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for that! In fact, I'm at a wedding in Thailand at the moment and have been using both Petra and Fiji's classes while I've been here so I'm not missing out!! So your classes have gone beyond my lounge room and come with me everywhere I go now :) I just love it. So THANK YOU!! I really appreciate your wonderful website.

I am a college student who has been interested in yoga for years. I am practicing as an intermediate, with a good step towards bakasana as a beginning inversion. I attend group fitness yoga classes at my campus, but for the days I cannot make it, I am absolutely thrilled I can turn towards your videos for not only convenience, but to advance in my experience level. I am in the process of rebuilding my savings account, for obvious reasons, so it's so relieving knowing I can watch these videos whenever I'm in the need for some meditation. I plan to donate as soon as I can spare the money, but in the mean time, thank you so much for your ability to fully give without the need to receive. You will surely make the world a better place.

I just wanted to write to say and that I really, really appreciate your grand endeavor! Your website has the perfect amount of variety for me, and I love your selection of teachers, teaching styles, and most especially the clear instruction that can be followed with the eyes or the ears alone. I practice in a very small space - only a foot or so of clearance around the sides of my mat, and I have to have the computer alongside the mat, so I cannot look directly at it most of the time. The way you and the other instructors teach - I hardly need to look, but when I do I appreciate the beautiful settings you film in. It's funny though - all those gorgeous outdoor locations inspired me to do yoga in the woods last time I went camping, and I have to say, British Columbia must have a LOT fewer bugs and mosquitoes than Michigan! Or else you and your instructors are so centered and focused that you do not notice them lol. Anyway, your website has allowed me to increase my practice to five or six times a week, and the fact that I can approach the practices knowing the intensity I will experience and counting on the consistent quality of instruction really helps me tailor my practice to what I need on any particular day. I'll stop gushing now, but really I want you to know how much quality your endeavor has added to my life. Best Wishes,

I am sure you get tons of these messages but I just wanted to say thank you. I just came back from making a donation but that did not feel enough so I wanted to express my gratitude with words too. I haven't been able to get away and do yoga since my little one was born a year ago. I was never a dedicated student with multiple practices a week but tried to catch a weekly class. Over the last year I have noticed my body get increasingly tight and stiff, and my carpal tunnel worsen, although it should have been getting better since I am no longer working at a desk daily.... I stumbled upon your hamstring and hip classes on YouTube and have been hooked for the last month. Three times a week, instead of complaining that my baby wakes up at 5:30 AM, I can do a class and slowly wake up, starting the day on such a positive note. The other day he slept in and I regretted having missed my class time lol!! Thank you so much for this service. It's so great for those who can't get to a class, or who don't think it would be worth the expense and hassle to arrange attending one (because they would not be strong enough to go through a whole class, or they can't get enough consecutive free time to do so, or whatever reason). Namaste.
