Modifications were great! I’m having hip trouble – my own fault – I slacked off yoga for awhile – my chiropracter told me I shouldn’t ever – every day, he said. I will do this class over and over until I get back to normal again.
So happy to hear the modifications were great 🙂 Great to have you at the membership meetup yesterday too 🙂
Namaste, Melissa
Nice! I did not use the modifications much, sorry, I liked the original. Waiting for #3 tomorrow! I am doing your 31 beginner yoga video’s!
Dear Carla, I am glad that you are listening to your own body. Looking forward to your posts and hearing how the 31 day beginner challenge goes for you. Namaste, Melissa
