Blissful Heart Effortless Full Body Restorative Yoga is a 60 minute, deeply rejuvenating and heart-centered practice. You will experience a unique blend of restorative yoga poses and inspiring poetry for your heart chakra, your heart organ system, your heart meridian, and fire element in summer that is deeply soothing and nourishing during the most yang time of year.
As you effortlessly rest into your restorative yoga postures, I will read you contemporary, spirit-infused poetry designed to touch your heart and encourage introspection and self reflection. May these inspiring words from contemporary heart-felt spiritual poets resonate with you and awaken a sense of inner peace and tranquility.
To calm your heart, we will engage breath practices or pranayama as a gateway to calm your heart, body and mind. Through various breath practices from gentle cleansing breath practices, to more soothing breath practices we will invite in a sense of surrender and release tension from our bodies. You will explore the purifying power of Ha breath, the balancing power of square breath and the calming and soothing qualities of alternate nostril breathing.
This restorative yoga sequence and class is designed to invite in surrender and deep rest. This profoundly relaxing and heart-centered restorative yoga class combined with the power of poetry, pranayama and restorative yoga poses guides you on a journey of inner-peace. May this class rejuvenate your body, nurture your heart and unite you with your bliss body.

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

I feel blissful. Thank you Melissa, always come back to your videos. Appreciate your teaching so much. Only pose I had to do differently was the supported shoulder stand. I get on much better doing bridge, putting 2 blocks side by side under my sacram and lifting my legs up. If they get tired I bend them and bring them into my chest. I still get the benefits of a shoulder stand and my body loves it. I can't do shoulder stand unless I'm next to a wall. I quickly found this modification during a class years ago. That was the day my teacher said I should become a yoga teacher. Took me a while but I've just got my final lesson to submit. Need my daughter for the practical, then I'll be able to help others the same way you have. Much love and light 🧘🏼‍♀️ 💜

Thanks so much Fiona, I'm glad to practice yoga with you!

[@ntrowan3987]

I love the 10 minute holds and the poses you choose (your videos are my fav on KZbin for this!), but the poems often make me feel sad and stressed. I’ve tried to just listen and be with them and it doesn’t work. I usually can’t tell which videos have poems or not until I’m already into them. Do you have specific videos with only one or no poems or ways to tell which videos have less poems?

[@drmelissawest]

Thanks so much for your encouraging feedback. I'm so glad you love my classes. If you click on the show notes by pressing show more, you will see that I always list the poses and poetry. If you see a long list of poems, you will know that there will be poetry reading in every pose. If there is only one poem, then I read it in savasana. Hope that helps and thanks for asking :)
