Hi Fiji, I just wanted to write and say thank you so much for all of the videos you make! I discovered yoga almost 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my first son. Since then I've had 2 more babies and your prenatal and postnatal videos were an amazing resource. I often don't get the chance to go to a studio (what with having 3 kids under 5 and all!) so Doyogawithme has been a life- and sanity - savior. When I was new to yoga my husband and I would celebrate when I came upstairs saying "I finished a Fiji!" Finishing one of your classes was a benchmark for me. As time went on I could gauge my strength by how well I performed in the class. Instead of collapsing afterwards, I was finishing with ease, feeling strong and empowered. There are still many classes I am working on. Arm balances and inversions are new territory I'm exploring. I love how I leave your classes feeling challenged but not defeated. I have a long way to go but you inspire me to continue on this path! Thank you so much for doing what you do. Know that you are truly making a difference. Thank you.
Testimonials
I just wanted to extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation for what you have provided - and for so many people! I have been on a path of personal discovery and it all began with your website and the (free) videos that you provided. An initial interest in learning yoga-and finding all of your inspirational teachers - planted the seeds of finding a local studio, taking yoga teacher training and now bringing yoga to not only the peers that I work with but to the young adolescents that I teach and who carry such incredible stresses in today's world. I wanted you to know that your work has touched so many lives. It is my hope that these young people will carry the benefits not just temporarily off their mats, but throughout their lives. Thank you for the incredible gift you have given to so many!
I just completed DYWM’s 6 week intermediate to advanced strength program, and I just wanted to thank you for your work putting it together! I loved having a set of classes to follow each week that built on the previous week, and the option of two classes for each day. I feel that I am stronger and more able than when I began (I was able to do a headstand for the very first time at week 4), and more importantly my yoga practice as a whole has grown in understanding and endurance. Thank you for your dedication to home practice yogis and teaching strong foundations. It is so very appreciated! Fiji is an incredible teacher and by far my favorite – because of her I have started measuring an online yoga teacher’s ability to teach by how often I have to look up. Her verbal cues are just so clear. Thanks again, and keep doing what you are doing! Sincerely,
Thanks again for Doyogawithme. If not for your generous site and support, I would not have had the courage nor the strength to sign up for teacher training as I just did. Thanks very much to you and your wonderful crew of instructors, I am beginning a very exciting new volume of my life. I'd say chapter, but this is too monumental for such a small unit of measure. The last few years have brought to me a great deal of insight, awareness, and levels of growth I once thought impossible. Your site had a major role in bringing these things forth. So thank you again and again for offering such an open, giving, inviting, and unifying site / practice. Take care,
I have practiced yoga for 20 years, but recently for financial reasons decided to stop going to my class. I discovered Do Yoga With Me and just wanted to say a huge thank you, for offering for FREE so many wonderful classes. Your site has allowed me to continue my practice and I regularly do 3-4 classes a week via the site. I think it is wonderful that you allow people to access classes with no charge and I look forward to joining up fully once my financial situation is back to normal. Many thanks
Sending huge gratitude for your website!! I am loving doing yoga with Fiji McAlpine and Tracey Noseworthy. I am a busy hospice nurse and single mom of two... and I have limited time and financial resources to attend classes at my local yoga studio or gym. Having access to your videos on this website has been a gift from the Universe. It is what is keeping me grounded in my life! Thank you and Namaste.
I completed the 30-day challenge today and I'm so proud of myself! I did not think I could commit to doing yoga every day for 30 days, what with 'life' going on at the same time, but DYWM made it so easy and fun, not to mention educational. I loved the variety of classes and teachers, and was exposed to more variety than I would experience if left to my own devices. Thank you so much for all you do!
Thank you so much for the classes you offer. Since I discovered your website, I do yoga with you every single day! Special thanks to Melissa and her soft, warm, smiling Hatha. And to Fiji, who is just the Mozart of yoga. You all truly make a difference in people's life.
Just a note to say that I am REALLY enjoying Doing Yoga with Me each morning!! My thanks especially to Melissa Krieger, whose classes and instruction I LOVE! Thank you so much for offering these online classes - so nice to do at home! I have told many friends about your site. Thank You!!
Hi there, Just wanted to say a thank you for the recent challenge - which I finished a day or two late! It was a great opportunity to develop a regular daily practice - as the incentive to keep up with the sessions made me much more disciplined in managing my time. Following the Intermediate challenge made me test the boundaries of my 'edges' and, for the most part, these were wider than I had presumed. It also made me more aware of what adjustments I need when the challenge is too great.......and why good form is so important. I found having that mental space in the day very balancing. The challenge also opened me up to a wider range of teachers and styles in the DYWM portfolio - which was fun and interesting! I look forward to continuing to expand my practice with DYWM - thanks so much for the thought and professionalism that goes into developing and maintaining such a high standard of classes and teachers. Kind regards,
Hi, I joined late December and just wanted to say thank you for a fantastic yogasite! I followed the 30 days challenge and it's amazing the variety of classes you offer. Such high standard of teachers! Very clear instructions -easy to follow also for a non-native speaker of English :-) It's fantastic that you offer all this for free but my guess is that many pay anyway as you offer such high value. Much remains to explore on the site and I look forward to finding new favorite classes. Thank you!
I just wanted to thank you so much for the 30 day yoga challenge. I participated every day and thoroughly enjoyed either returning to favourite classes, or being introduced to new ones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart- genuinely- for creating this website and sharing such wonderful content. You will never know the love, light and hope this website has given me, especially over these past few difficult years. Fiji, Rachel, Crista, Tracey- what a team you work with! Please share my gratitude. With many thanks again and my warmest wishes,
I am currently away from my home and my usual yoga sangha. No car much of the time. Your classes have been a god(dess) send. Just finished Fiji's new class, Slow, Steady, Strong. Superb in every way.
Your yoga programs have been incredible. I cannot possible express my gratitude to you all for providing such an amazing program. Fiji McAlpine is the quintessential yoga master. Her technique, her instruction, her voice, her encouragement all come together to provide the most perfect program. I had never done Yoga before and attempted the 14 day challenge. Everyday felt better and better and as the days went by I found myself craving my Yoga practice. At the end, I decided to join a local Yoga studio. I explained that I had never taken a studio class, but had done some Yoga online for two weeks. They recommended a beginners class. I signed up for a beginners class and took it eager to see what a "real live" class was like. I was told by the Yoga instructor afterwards that I was "Not" a beginner. I give credit to doyogawithme.com and Fiji for that. Thank you for introducing me to the first fitness ritual that didn't "beat me up". I look forward to learning more and will remain grateful for the start you all gave me.
I just wanted to thank-you for your lovely channel. I love your videos. I just did David's Yoga for your Feet video. I have bad feet issues and have tried other videos but they do a few feet poses and the rest is just regular yoga. Every pose David did was about the feet. I loved it. I also very much like Melissa and Anastasia's videos. So, I am going to donate after this email is sent but I just wanted to tell you how much your channel helps me. Thank-you!!
I wanted to thank you for the 30 day challenge! It may be the best thing I have done for myself. Everyday was exactly what I needed. Every teacher is amazing. I am so glad I found this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Your website is absolutely fantastic and I am a complete fan of you and all your wonderful teachers. I am a full time mindfulness teacher here in the UK, working with lots of different groups, and I tell them about your wonderful gift to the world all the time. Thank you, a deep bow and wishing you all many blessings Namaste
Thanks so much for creating DYWM, it's completely changed my practice. I love the way it's organized. I've been sharing it with all my yogini friends.
I just wanted to tell someone how WONDERFUL I think this site is...the classes are perfect and so are the teachers (especially Satiya!). Thank you for providing this fabulous opportunity to practice yoga at home. I love everything about it!
I have not ever commented on any of the videos that I have watched... just doesn't come to me naturally... I have thought about it a few times, but decided to just write to you here (maybe one day i will start to comment)... If this is David (or please tell David)... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS SITE! It's so well thought out and really goes deep into deeper meanings of yoga. I avoided doing yoga for years, because I didn't want to be around other people doing it... and never really found online videos that worked for me. Almost all the instructors on this site are absolutely amazing. Fiji, Satiya, and David are my favorites. Seriously... so much thought went into this site and it is very VERY much appreciated. And it's also great that most of the site is free.... I would love to become a subscriber and donate what I could monthly, but from what i have seen its a fixed price. Maybe one day I will be able to do that. I have learned so much with Do Yoga With Me and I tell people all the time about it. And THANK YOU for the 30 day YOGA challenge... I SOOOOOO needed (need) that. I feel like this short email isn't even expressing half of my gratitude... Really, David and whoever else put this together... thank you <3 Namaste
