I’m a yoga teacher….Your short (sweet) weight workouts have contributed to me improving and elevating my yoga practice and lessons for mature women. I ❤️ them!!!🌹

[@christabcook]

Hello, I have a question for you! Have you ever seen students with Ehlers Danlos or M.E./CFIDS? I have both, 😒, but I need a gentle start to exercise & I have a feeling yoga will be a savior for me, if I can take it slow. Hoping over time that I can build strength everywhere, I cannot push because it causes myalgia and all sorts of painful 'crashes' that I don't come out of the same as I was before. So I need to learn to 'pace'..I hope you made it to the end of my long question!! Best wishes to you & enjoy your life! ♡ The 🐌

[@christabcook]

Oh yeah I'm 47 ish!

[@ms.ednapost]

@@christabcook Hi! With EDS you can do yoga, but I would not suggest just going to a yoga class.. you need one on one instruction to insure you’re doing the poses probably or you can injure yourself. Start with slow and gentle movements like Pilates or TaiChi. LThere are some great beginner KZbin vids on both. Water aerobics and swimming are also great for EDS. Slow, steady and a consistent practice (30 min, at least 4’s a week) and yes you will build strength. As you move, put your awareness on the muscle you’ve moving. Mind muscle connection is part of the process of healing and rebuilding muscle . Peace and blessings!🌹🧘🏽‍♀️

[@maiskitty]

Ha I'm also a yoga instructor joining these! Absolutely adore Melisa 💞

[@blondenette]

I like your soft voice and mild manner of explaining things I find a lot of workout videos overstimulating. This was my first time doing this workout and I will definitely do it again.

[@debby7487]

Wow that was a hard workout. I have not seen myself smile so much in ages. It was really good and I have been training for years. You explained it all perfectly. I would love to see more workouts. You are doing a great job and I am recommending your website to my sisters and friends. It is awesome.

[@chica-jinx5811]

See this is good because she truly is breathing like most women over 40, 50, and 60 as I myself. And she going at right pace.❤ Thank Ms. Melissa this is just the workout I needed. I might can’t do all of the exercises right a way. But over time, I’m sure I’ll get there.😊🎉❤

[@MelissaNeill]

I agree! Just keep going. :)

[@paulawade2223]

I'm a little confused about her breathing, especially due to her level. 7 years in still I think the breathing is concerning.

Is anyone else dripping with sweat after this vid. Today I got my first vid with Melissa workout done and feeling sweaty after the first 5 minutes. I took more breaks to finish and have to work on the plank. I did about 30secs, a minute doing a plank is longer than I thought. Though I have incorporate weights on my own since February(one body part at a time), this is the first time I really felt challenged. The combined body parts moves did it. And would enjoy more workouts like this. Thanks again!
