Unlock this premium class

This satisfying hatha yoga class with Melissa combines two great movements for your spine - side stretching and twists. You’ll feel so good (and tall!) after this class. It’s especially great for those that spend a lot of time on the computer and/or sit for long periods of time.

This can either be done as a stand-alone class or as Day 10 of Grounding and Strength 14-Day Beginner Yoga Challenge.

What a lovely class! "What if you took the pose that was right for your body instead of the pose you think you should do?" Great question and invitation. How great to normalize teaching to a spectrum of body capabilities and offer the advanced pose as a variation. Thank you. Namaste.

What a great lesson - perfect pace. Very relaxing. I really liked this one. Thank you for giving the instructions for which side to use - left or right - it really helps as one tends to forget which leg one used the first time around.

This is the practice I would love to return to at least once a week. Very relaxing. Thanks for very detailed instructions and ease of spacing.
