Part 2 - Precious Human Life| Hatha Yoga for Gratitude | Yoga with Melissa 453 - LIVE YOGA
Yoga with Melissa has been releasing a one hour yoga class every Friday since September of 2009. That is NINE YEARS! This live class celebrated nine years of Yoga with Melissa classes here on my channel. We will be practicing a hatha yoga class (by popular request) for gratitude. In this class we will reflect on our precious human lives (the first of the four reminders in Buddhism).
First of all we have been born at the most incredible time with access to a wonderful platform called KZbin. This platform has allowed us to come together for the last nine years and share in the teachings of yoga. We have enough time in our lives to practice and we have access to an abundance of teachings, more than we could probably ever complete in a lifetime. We live in a place where there is enough peace and we are not fearful to engage in these practices in our homes. We have enough food in our bellies to give us the energy to practice. We are healthy enough in mind and body that we can engage in these yoga practices.

Congratulations to you and Tim and a big Thank you for your life work and mission to yoga. Glad to hear Hatha yoga will be back in the rotation. The shoulder shorts and the soft foam roller workouts are a must do everyday for me. I loved the poem in this class and the many others you share also. Happy to be a member. I have learned so much about the body mechanics and it really is helping to ease the pain I have in my aging body so I can keep active and I wont need to visit the chiropractor anytime soon.

[@drmelissawest]

thanks Cheryl :)

[@sonawiz]

My life is precious!. Thank you and hearty congratulations :) I have not been able to do your videos or any exercise for over a month now. Not sure why, but was feeling a lot of intertia. But I finally got around to it! I told myself its ok if I only do half. And I did half of today's routine and then just the poem at the end. i like the pace at which you do hatha, it is just right - not too slow, not too fast; and the challenge level was just right. Yes please do more hatha in the way that you did in this video. Also, I like the flowy movements.

[@drmelissawest]

I hope you feel better soon, it's good to take it easy and especially not to overdo it, sounds like you have done a great job of pacing yourself. Thank you so much for practicing with us.

[@sonawiz]

Thanks I didn't think of it as 'pacing' - that's such a positive way to look at it! I wish I was gentler on myself. I finally managed to finish part 2 today - what a beautiful poem. Feeling stronger today.

Congratulations Melissa on this monumental occasion! I have followed you since year one and you have enriched my life immensely. I always love your classes and being a part of the membership community. Unfortunately, due to a debilitating hip injury since 2013 I have been unable to practice yoga the way I used to but I am now almost rehabilitated. I hope to be more active during the next few years. I wish you and Tim continued success and many, many thanks for all you do. ❤️

[@drmelissawest]

thank you so much Donna! From the beginning! :) :) namaste :)
