I LOVE everything you produce. You're soothing and you create such spaciousness and beautiful environments. Thanks from the US!

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for such lovely feedback xx

[@willowwong9505]

What a challenging yet beautiful practice this was, Paula! I almost felt like giving up when I first eased into the pigeon pose, but I was able to push through following your guidance - instead of fighting the stretch (which only made it more intense), I was able to breathe and surrender to the discomfort. It was such a powerful and meaningful experience in a relatively short yoga practice, the ending poses on the mat were perfect for a slow and gentle recovery. I found strength, courage and self-belief in this practice! Thank you.

[@yoginimelbourne]

This is so lovely to hear, thank you for taking the time to practice and share your experience xox

[@crystalrose2607]

This was perfect! My mom wanted something to stretch her legs at night that wasn’t too long. When I showed her this, she thought it was too long, but I said, let’s try! She did the whole thing and really liked it!! Thank you, Paula! Mom is really enjoying your practices.

[@nuraliamazlan9730]

Just discovered your channel. Out of all the yoga channels I have followed, yours is the most calming one. I now practice w your videos everyday

[@yoginimelbourne]

That is such lovely feedback, thank you! x p

[@alicenesbitt]

Love the stretches and holding ..do follow you but not as often as I should ..love explaining the breath whilst working out - and realise have missed your calming voice- I do follow other instructors but enjoy yours - as always a thankyou ..🙏

[@milidiyasha]

Paula, this practice is simply amazing! Thank you✨

[@annearrowsmith3556]

Thanks Paula, a lovely sequence, deeply relaxing.

[@MaddeMay33]

Thank you Ms. Paula! Another beautiful class! Note to self: Great evening class. Very grounding. Not strenuous. Great hip openers and plenty of down dog. Good for anxiety.

[@maddiemorgan5805]

This is a wonderful and short practice; I appreciate not only the poses (I tend to store my emotions in my hips so they're chronically tight), but also the narrative you provide. Letting thoughts pop like bubbles--never thought of that. Good practice for depression/anxiety/etc. Thank you!

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and for taking the time to practice xox

[@freelancebythebay]

Oh, such relief, Paula. Thank you so much.

[@natashapucheu9674]

love all of your practices

[@janiceho5895]

Just what I needed today! I am so glad I found you - your thoughtful approach is everything I want in a yoga class. And I appreciate the variety of class lengths as a mama with very little me-time.

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thanks for the lovely feedback, I'm glad you are making some time for yourself - very tricky with a little one! x

[@tedanthonytarona8355]

thank u so much for doing this. it is so simple yet extremely challenging. its about listening to your body and keeping it relaxed with your breath. i love it

[@LaurenLark]

I've followed you for some years now before and after having my three year old son. I just wanted thank you so much for being you, and the wonderful self love you teach. I've attended many yoga classes and watched lots of yoga you tube videos. Your approach is very sincere and it's a privilege to be along on your journey. Many thanks!

[@yoginimelbourne]

This is such a lovely message, thank you! It really makes my day to hear that the practices have been supporting you in some way. Hope you and son are going well (my daughter is 3 - almost 4 now - it's a fun but also tiring age!). xx

[@MissLisaAdams]

Amazing release and invaluable time with my inner being. Thank you so much!

[@yoginimelbourne]

It's a pleasure, thank you for taking the time to practice x

[@anniemomo9807]

This is like yoga for ADHD people, which is exactly what I need 🤣 thank you!

[@tamarabruns2838]

I recently found you on KZbin and it has been a wonderful addition to my yoga practices. I couldn't have picked a better video to do today. I have been having hip and sciatic nerve pain. After doing this, it is the best my hips and glutes have felt in weeks! Thanks! I will go back to this time after time~

[@yoginimelbourne]

So glad the practice helped!! xx

[@Jenannb]

[@zamisingh2594]

Thank you Paula Love when you bring attention to how we feel in different parts of our body Allowing the face to soften made me realize that i was clenching my jaw and stressing my forehead and i think that this is the reason why i am having pain all the time behind my ears. Thank you very much. 💕😇🌺

[@yoginimelbourne]

You're so welcome! xox

[@kaylaoakley_livingpeacefully]

I really, really loved this, thank you so much 🙏

[@gyang02]

The moment you said, “you are not your emotions,” I teared up. This was exactly what I needed. Hanging onto the poses and focusing on my breathing head what I needed. Thank you for this beautiful practice.

[@yoginimelbourne]

It's such a pleasure and thank you for sharing, I'm so pleased you found some release xox p

[@tatjanamilenaa8069]

What a great practice Paula! I really enjoyed the soothing music in the background in this video. It would be nice to have that in your other videos too- just a thought ❤️ Thank you for a very restorative session.

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you! We have music in a couple of our videos but not all of them, thanks for the feedback :)

[@MellaSaldivar]

thank you! thank you! I love your channel. I just want you to know that you've helped me a lot during my pregnancy. Your pre-natal episodes helped minimized my body pains especially my back. My baby is now 4 months old and I'm glad that I am still able to continue doing yoga at home because of you. thanks again!

[@yoginimelbourne]

So lovely to hear that, thanks for taking the time to practice! Congratulations on your little one, I hope it's all going well. x p

[@yoginimelbourne]

Yay, thanks for the gorgeous feedback. Thanks for watching and would love to meet you in person if you come to Melbourne! x p

[@kellypantaleoni5166]

What a lovely way to wind down after a stressful day😌 I must admit I’m not a fan of longer holds, but your talking me through the tougher moments was just what I needed. Thank you for helping me to go beyond what I wanted to achieve what I needed✨

[@yoginimelbourne]

Good on you for sticking with it - the longer holds can be really challenging! xx

[@TheLibran38]

@@yoginimelbourne I prefer the longer holds as compared to the various flows, so thanks for having them

[@yuanjyechong8834]

You just healed me

[@joakley623]

Exactly what I needed when I got home from work today for both mind and body. Deepest 🙏🏾

[@yoginimelbourne]

Sweet! So glad you enjoyed it. xox p

Thank you for the session, Paula. I'm a beginner with fibro and I usually find that the pace in yoga videos go too fast for me, but this is perfect. Namaste.

Good morning Paula! I just did a brutal glute workout and then did this yoga class! Absolutely amazing! Love the long holds so much! Hips, glutes, and back feel so good! I must do this one again! Thank you so much always! Have a wonderful day!

[@yoginimelbourne]

Lovely! Sounds like you deserved a good stretch :)

[@YourBiggestFansOK]

Paula, do you have any videos that would target the calves? I know a lot of lower body yoga focuses on hips and hamstrings but not much on quads and calves.

[@ginajonson8796]

thanks Paula perfect, so perfect I really appreciate this, just what I was looking for, where are your classes?

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you for the lovely feedback! I'm not currently teaching any local classes but will probably get back to it into a regular teaching schedule in spring/summer here in Melbourne, Australia :)

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lucyryan6088]

Hi Paula, I absolutely love your videos, thank you for being my online teacher! I have FAI (hip impingement) do you think these exercises would exacerbate or help that? From research I have been doing it seems like poses that work the glutes are a good counterbalance for FAI. Can you recommend any? Or even better, a video for us dodgy hip people?! Thanks again x x

[@yoginimelbourne]

Hi Lucy, thank you for your message. This practice should be okay for the hip impingement, however does hold the poses for awhile so notice if you need to back out of a pose - you really don't want to move into any sharper sensations. Another practice that is more of a whole body but great for mobilising & releasing the hips and glutes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZfLdXyDrZyDg80 and also: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4i8fK2Ip9tmmc0 (this is focused on hips/ITB) Hope that helps :) xx

[@joybrown5325]

Love your videos ❤️😜

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you! xox

[@victoriamartin6966]

i could feel a nice energy all over my body at the end...thanku xoxoxo

[@suzansadie8185]

Thank you *x

[@nessiemupfeki]

My first time to do yin yoga I have always dreaded holding poses for longer than 1minute. I enjoyed your session very much , so much so that I found another one of your 30min yin session and did it after this one. You have such a calming voice and your music is perfect!! Where in Melbourne do you run yoga sessions so I could join you one day? I live in Melbourne

[@yoginimelbourne]

Good on you for giving it a go, I'm glad you enjoyed the practices! I'm currently not teaching any live classes, will probably return to them late this year/early next year. You could sign up to the newsletter via www.yoginimelbourne.com or follow on instagram for any updates xx

[@joannelegros-kelly7688]

Great before bed.😴🙏

Lovely x

[@user-gn5sc9ug6n]

[@clemencegrant6805]

Great, thank you! Ready for a run now :-)

[@yoginimelbourne]

Lovely! Hope you enjoyed your run :)

[@joellelangevin7905]

Great for my tight hips! what is the name of the last pose (crossed legged and lean forward)? Need to practice, very tight for me.

[@poojadhingra3686]

Hello Paula, While bending forward in the sukh asana I have slight discomfort in my knees n lower back... Are there any asanas to strengthen the knees

[@yoginimelbourne]

I would recommend sitting up on a cushion or block to lift your hips a bit higher than your knees - this should help. I am planning on a class to strengthen knees down the track so thank you for the reminder!

[@rosepetal9748]

❤❤❤

[@bhavnapatel8258]

🙏🙏

[@yoginimelbourne]

Thank you x

[@heeralvora9845]

so couldnt hold the poses and couldnt even have my feet and hands at the same position in the front!. also whilst doing the stretch my inner back thigh near the glute hurt - is that normal?

[@yoginimelbourne]

This is quite a deep hip/inner groin stretch - you could try to use a couple of yoga blocks or books to rest your hands on and try to make the position a little shorter by not stepping as far forward with the front foot. Hope that helps!

[@heeralvora9845]

yoginimelbourne thank you so much for replying it really helps

[@barbaramensenkampff8170]

10 mins

[@yoginimelbourne]

Is there something that happens at 10min?

Hi Paula this video doesn't work..

[@yoginimelbourne]

Sorry to hear that you have been having some trouble with the video. I've looked at it down on my end and it seems to be working fine. Have you tried it on another device? Make sure you are accessing the video from youtube rather than another site. Hope that helps!
