This 20 min yoga nidra is a beautiful extended savasana for your nervous system to do after this restoratie yoga class kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaevn2WqrdN9eM0

[@Hellkama]

It was a great class. Very relaxing. Thank you Melissa! But I wish you would still end your classes with guiding us back to seated and bowing namaste. I usually make playlists of yoga videos I want to watch and if you just leave us laying there in savasana the next video starts before I even notice and startles me :)

[@drmelissawest]

trying new things Heli :)

[@yogawithsarah6227]

That was a great sequence! I really enjoyed it, great way to end the weekend and transition into a new week. I am a restorative yoga teacher as well. It is nice to find other restorative teachers. Namaste!

[@drmelissawest]

Wonderful to hear from you Sarah! Happy teaching :) :) namaste

[@ntrowan3987]

I loved this class! I was a bit startled when it ended abruptly (still in the pose) and there was a very loud ad out of nowhere. But other than that, very calming. Great pose length :)

[@drmelissawest]

Glad you enjoyed the calming class :)

[@rasa-sarani]

Me too, I also didn't realize when I finished and it was a bit startled

[@marcelysmarcano973]

Si,yo también me sorprendí! Estoy notando que las últimas clases terminan de manera un poco abrupta hehe. Estoy acostumbrada a salir de la pose y cantar el hermoso mantra 😉

[@hippietunes]

What a perfect class for me this week. The restorative cat cow at the beginning was just what my body and mind needed. The loud ad at the end made me jump though! Always grateful for your generosity Melissa.

[@drmelissawest]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the cat pose at the beginning Colleen :) Also, in response to people finding advertising that is present on KZbin to be loud, we have uploaded an ad-free version in our membership community for you: www.members.melissawest.com/courses/restorative-yoga/restorative-yoga-to-calm-your-nervous-system-45-mins/

[@benedictebonneaud6251]

Thanks Melissa : another great restorative. I feel very calm and restored. Perfect class for me today. I didn’t heard you ending the class and was surprised by the abrupt add by the end! Enjoy your weekend. Love 💓

[@drmelissawest]

I know quite a few people find the advertising on KZbin disturbing, there is an ad-free version in our membership community: www.members.melissawest.com/courses/restorative-yoga/restorative-yoga-to-calm-your-nervous-system-45-mins/

[@helene1342]

This practice really helped calm my nervous system. Thank you so much Melissa ❤🙏🙏🙏

[@drmelissawest]

lovely to hear 🙏

[@marksmith-zk6dl]

I realized after the class that the holidays and colder weather are adding a lot to my stress level. Feeling wonderfully grounded and relaxed after this live class. It will help me to do more of your yin classes, especially this one, on a regular basis going forward. Thank you, much love.

[@drmelissawest]

I am totally feeling you Mark. I will be joining you in doing more yin and restorative yoga. Thanks for practicing with me.

[@saskiaulbricht]

[@dotzullo4401]

liked the class however I didn't realize the class was over until a loud ad popped up

[@drmelissawest]

I know quite a few people find the ads in KZbin disruptive to practice. There is an ad-free version in our membership community www.members.melissawest.com/courses/restorative-yoga/restorative-yoga-to-calm-your-nervous-system-45-mins/

[@TG1181]

That is a nice class. It did calm me down. Thank you❤

[@drmelissawest]

so pleased it helped with calming you 🙏💜

[@benedictebonneaud6251]

And btw, I sang the lokkah mantra at the end and my voice sounded so profound : my ventral nerve is rocking on ✨🥰

[@drmelissawest]

Awesome Bene!!!! :)

Thanks so much Melissa & Tim - watching some of these videos again and again to get m through this rough patch of caring for my elderly Mom. Will be sure to donate soon to help sustain you the way you are sustaining me! (Sharon from Cape Cod)

❆ calming the nervous system ❆ Hey Sunday Yogis

WOW, thank you for this calming yoga hour..

[@drmelissawest]

You're so welcome Anne!

[@magdalenaornelas1739]

Dear Melissa, Wonderful class for my nervous system, hard to pick a favorite pose, but I think Restorative downward facing dog is my new fave. Tim, I love the new look and labeling. Awesome 😎 job.

[@drmelissawest]

I love restorative down dog too!

[@kirstencook1439]

Keep it Rocking 🤙creative calm😌need this for long while 🤗 🌳🍁🍂🌲

[@drmelissawest]

So glad you enjoyed it Kristen

[@PlantPlanetPeople]

One of your most effective to the point making sense videos ever; we allow 20% of our body IE. The mind to effect 80% of the body and dictate how it moves how it functions...vagus nerve repleted must always be filled to complete me ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@drmelissawest]

Thank you so much Jo. I worked really hard on being on pointe in this class. I appreciate your acknowledgment.

[@elinnorrgard2275]

Thanks so much

[@andreguix]

Namaste 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤍

[@drmelissawest]

Namaste!

[@marywillingham1367]

I loved this class, but hated not having a close out. It was jarring to be in a relaxed space and then have KZbin go to an advertisement.

[@drmelissawest]

Thank you so much for practicing with us Mary, glad you loved the class.

[@ClaireBradleyYoga]

Completely gorgeous and calming until it ended abruptly with a loud advert which wrecked the vibe. Would be worth adding something to the end if you can as that was such a shame.

[@drmelissawest]

always trying to improve :)
