Yoga with Melissa

🎉✨ September marks 16 years on YouTube ✨🎉

When I uploaded my very first yoga class in 2009, being a YouTuber wasn't even a thing! For 16 years, I’ve had the honor of practicing alongside you, my YouTube students, friends, and global yoga family.

Every practice, every comment has been part of our journey in yoga together. Your dedication and presence are what make this channel come alive. Tim and I are so grateful for each of you who has rolled out a mat with us over these years. 💜

Here’s to 16 years of movement, rest, breath, and community, and to many more practices together. I've got so many exciting things coming for you in year 17! Thank you for being here. 🙏

I'm curious. I'm trained in PILATES as well as yoga. Back in the day I used to teach PILATES in real life and also had some pilates DVDs, before YouTube!

Would you be interested in some nervous system-informed, slow, mindful, body-honoring pilates classes on this channel?

Calming Vagus Nerve Yoga | Hatha into Yin Practice
In this new class we begin standing to release restless energy before easing into stillness with yin yoga. If you find it hard to stay still in yin or restorative practices this is for you. Moving first makes it easier to settle deeply.


Props: yoga strap and blanket

Yoga with Melissa

Hi everyone,

I’m down with COVID this week so there won’t be a new YouTube class again this week as I take the time I need to rest and recover.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I practice what I preach. We listen to our bodies. We don't push through. We rest when we are sick. We trust in our body's timing.

And I trust that you’ll return to what’s already here, not because of urgency or algorithm, but because, like me, you’re in a long-term relationship with this incredible practice called yoga.

If there’s a past class that’s been calling you to revisit, or one you never tried but meant to, this might be the time.

Thank you for being here, not just as viewers. I know so many of you have been with me since 2009 and so recovering from COVID is just a tiny blip in our long-term relationship.

With care,
Melissa

This week my sister and her family have been with us. I've had so much fun being with her and showing her all the best of Victoria.

No new class this week, but we'll be back with a new class on YouTube next week.
