Full Length Gentle Yoga Class Vol. 3 - for beginners & seniors

- Dear Yogis!
Welcome to Gentle Yoga Vol. 3, our yoga series that is perfect for seniors, beginners or just those looking for a gentle yoga class! I have added a couple of challenging poses to this installment, but if you feel like you are not quite ready to go there I have alternatives.
First, I added “pigeon pose.” If you find this to be challenging, you can do the modified version of the pose which will show up in a box on the right hand corner of your screen. To do the pose simply lie down on your back, cross your right ankle of the left knee, then bring your right hand in between the crossed legs and hold on the back of the left knee with both hands. Then gently pull the knee in toward your face. This is the modified pigeon and is giving you the similar stretch as the original pigeon. When you are done, switch sides.
Second, I added “shoulder stand.” If you find this to be challenging, please go back to the modified “legs up the wall” that we did on the block in Vol. 2. In case you don’t recall, just take your block, place it under the sacrum and then slowly lift the legs into the air. Voila!
Have a great class!
Jai!

One of the most soothing yoga voices I've come across, and a very confident knowledgeable teacher. I'm a 70 yr old yogi, practicing for 40 yrs or so. What a great way to start the day.
So glad I found you!!! Having practiced for 20yrs, teaching for 14+ after injury and a relocation my practice fell to wayside. I am just getting back onto the mat -- embarrassed to go to class. This is giving me my yoga back, strengthening my body and reawakening parts of myself that had gone dormant. Without pressure, without judging myself I am pleased to be back and forgiving myself. Your classes are a reflection of my teaching. THANK YOU! Namaste.
I have anykylosing spondylitis and am overweight. I have tried and failed at doing yoga so many times. Your video series is the very first I can actually get through! Thank you SO much for making these for people like me. I truly appreciate it more than you know. The soft, quiet music helps me relax, as does your gentle voice. Thank you!
Love this it's so easy to follow she is so carm I am 68 and thought I couldn't do exercise but this is great lovely lady thanks
OK my friend, it’s time for Volume 4 !! I love your classes and do them almost everyday. That’s why I call you my friend. Namaste....
Hi
I followed Shelly on Twitter and found out that she gives online classes (check twitter) and she has another UA-cam channel:
Sovereign hands wellness
She has been a life saver for me so I thought I should put this info here.
You have been my daily companion for the past month, and a sanity-saver during the "shelter in place" order. Thank you so much! I have recommended your videos to all my friends.
I am so glad that I found Cheryl’s yoga practice! Her voice is so calming, peaceful and perfect in these challenging times as a nation and world. Thank you Cheryl
I love these sessions. They are easy for me especially being one who started yoga at 50.. thank you. I hope to see more of these sessions.
As a teacher of yoga for 12 years. I love your practice. Love your voice and mindful breathing.
Namaste
Love your voice and cadence. I'm 60 and find I need to start and end my day with gentle yet effective yoga movements - your series fit the bill perfectly! Thank you.
I love these yoga practices.
I wish there were not ads through your some of them though …. Especially during shivasana!
I’ve been practicing using your videos for a few years. I love them. I am a senior as well as have chronic pain due to a couple of injuries and I can get through every move. Thank you ❤
I LOVE YOUR YOGA PRACTICE! Your voice and peaceful, calm guidance is a HUGE "gamechanger" for me. Thank you so, so much, Shelley.
Very grateful for this class. Shavasana at the end cherry on top, most video instructors don't leave space for it, and while Im laying UA-cam will just click into something else. So thank you for the moments for mindfulnesd as well as a great flow.
In the current lockdown situation I find myself in India and where I can't get back to my country, Australia, for some months, I am loving the Gentle Yoga courses. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for these sessions. This 63 year old appreciates you!
I enjoyed this practice
Love LOVE THIS practice !
A wonderful way to start my day. These are indeed difficult times. I really appreciate what there is available so we can keep up our yoga practice. Thank you
i enjoy these videos. at 65 I am just getting back into yoga. I would like to see you take a little more time with your poses. I don't move as fast through the routines and think a few more seconds or minutes would flow better. but all in all I enjoy these routines
I LOVE your classes Shelley but I find it EXTREMELY jarring when an ad come blasting on part way through two of THE most soothing parts of this video . I know you need ads...but please..at the beginning.If I am interested in buying a HUGE truck..I will stop and watch the ad..I Do not want to lose this valuable time with you. Thanks , Lorraine
This was PERFECT. I just love this class. Thank you!
Wonderful! I’m 75 - had bypass surgery 3 years ago and just finished chemotherapy! Have practiced yoga for over 10 years which I think has kept me going. So glad to have found you and look forward to more classes! Thank you so much!
Thanks for a beautiful practice. I especially appreciate you taking the time and considerable effort to narrate separately. So much easier to follow. Plus, I love your calming voice.
FANTASTIC THANK YOU
I love Shelly's classes,.all three !!!,...i do one each day...feels great ,.Thanks so much!!
A really relaxing, enjoyable class, Excellent teacher, with a calming, confident voice. More classes, please!!
As always, as huge thank you for these classes, they are all I can manage at the moment but I feel if I do them consistently I am still improving my overall health. I feel peaceful and grateful at the end of class. Namaste
I really enjoy your classes. Wish there were more!
Thank you 🙏
I truly enjoy your practice. Thank you. Namaste.
I love your practice Shelley. You got me hooked on yoga. Will you be doing more?
Perfect just what I was looking for, thanks 👍
Really enjoyed this session. Lots of good poses at a good pace -- not too fast yet not boring. Just the right length of time. Great job.
Thank you. That was beautiful and so are you.
I've been looking for a beginners yoga as I am a complete beginner, never done yoga before. I watched your video love your gentleness but seriously I wouldn't be able to do some of those poses and don't think this is for complete beginners or seniors and there was no alternate movement if we have any problems with back or wrists which I do. I will look for a more gentle one but will definitely come back to yours once I'm a little more flexible. Thank you
Oh Shelley, Your yoga practices are a life-saver for me. In respect of your gift to me, I often view that ads hoping this would encourage advertisers to invest in you (in all other circumstances, I skip the ads). May your powers and service increase.
My favorite yoga instructor ever
perfect for me; just enough gentle strength, movement and letting go. Thank you!
OMG the hip stretches😁 At 72 with osteo arthritis in my hips I need this workout. It is going to help so much more than PT. I just need to take it slow and easy at first. See my Dr in 4 days and can’t wait to tell him. He will be glad that I have found what works for me and now he can pass this channel on to his other patients if he wants. Always looking for another tool for my toolbox. This is it. Bonus I’m not having to pay for PT. 😊
My daily Yoga practice, thanks Shelly, you rock!
Excellent!
This is a great practice for seniors. I am just coming back into Yoga after a year and can't get to a class during the pandemic. I LOVE Shelley Nicole's classes and I do them 3 times per week. Please keep this up as I would rather do this practice in my own home instead of a studio.
I so need this. Thank you…you wonderful beautiful woman.😊
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the type of class I would love to attend on a regular basis!!!!!!!! Thus is the type of class that cazillions of regular folks can benefit from!!!! You need to do a DVD because it would sell like crazy!!!!!
Thank you so much. I am a late comer to Yoga at 59 years of age and had it not been for your class, I would have given up starting at all.
Hi, I have been searching for beginning yoga and searching when I finally found The Mat Project I am a complete novice and found this very doable at almost 55. It's easy to understand and follow along without having to be constantly looking up or pausing the video. I thank you for your contributions and hope you make more in the future .
I agree with Annie, the voice is so relaxing, and workout great!
That was great !!!! Thank you so much. So soothing after turning off impeachment hearings. LOVE.
I have to tell you, I left you this morning for another teacher, left her half way through, and checked out a few others, and I am back, I love the pace you keep, your voice is calming and nice to listen to, I have been doing your first two videos for a few weeks, have added #3 in now as a bit more progression , keep them coming, it really makes me feel wonderful and is becoming part of my daily routine...I am happy I found you
I did this class for the first time today and really enjoyed it. As a beginner I felt I was guided well and managed to follow the class easily. Thank you.
Love love love. I've lost 80 lbs and my only exercise has been walking and a little weight lifting. I'm feeling the need to get more flexible and to lengthen. This is a great way to get into yoga. The instructions are perfect. Many thanks!
Thank you, you are really helping me manage my health, I race through the days, never feeling like I have enough time for everything, so many things to do so little time...and I am retired!!!! But this and my morning walk on the beach, are so good for me..and your sessions are perfect for a senior who has never done yoga before
You are wonderful
So glad I found your channel. I never thought I could do Yoga. I completed 1 and 2 yesterday and 3 today! Yay!
Thank you so much!! Your videos have created a beautiful relationship for me and yoga, and I'm so thankful. Your wisdom and openness and sharing so wonderful and powerful!!! I'm so grateful for you, Shelley
been doing 1 & 2 alternating days for a few months and now added volume 3, love your ways and find your alternative moves still challenging , I know slowly but surely they will become easier. Thank you so much , be blessed
Namaste
Amazing videos! Hoping you will return with volume 4.
I love Shelley Nicole's classes and have repeatedly followed them. I also love her soothing voice that help me "let go" on certain poses that are hard for me!. By the way, I am a 77 year old woman and am from Honnduras, Central America. Thank you! Any more of her classes besides Volumes 1, 2 and 3 for me?
Love this, can’t wait for Vol. 4!
Beautiful class
My husband and I do your class at least once or twice a week (along with some Rodney Yee on the other days). I am eagerly awaiting volume 4! Love the pace, the voice the workout. Thank you for helping to keep us flexible, healthy and pain free (!).
:)
Oh I was so sorry today as I was having my Yoga course, my body did'nt accept to perform the shoulder stand ! Bouh ! This one is always a little diffult to me ! Otherwise since last spring, it's always a great joy to follow your yoga course, each week ! Thanks
Namaste. And thank you.
I was so happy to see you added this class! It was challenging but your gentle encouragement got me through! Thank you so much!
You are the best gentle yoga teacher. So happy and looking forward to doing this 3rd volume. Recently started gentle yoga vol.1 again and this week going for vol.2. I took a short break and now am so happy that you have a vol3 thank you so much, be blessed
Namaste
I really wish you had more videos! You are so soothing and easy to follow. I do these same classes over and over. Would love more!
Another fabulous session with a marvellous teacher. Loved it.
Dear Shelley, I love, love, love your classes, your gentle guiding voice and the movements that are perfect for my 70 yearly body. Would you consider adding another class with movements like volume 1 and 2. volume 3 gets a little fast paced for me. I like the variety in the different classes so much. I use your class 3 times a week. Thank you and Bless you.
This is a wonderful series of classes. Wonderful, easy and calm voice and directions. Thanks you! I am looking forward to #4!
I so loved this! Just the right amount of challenge and relaxation. Thank you for sharing!
This is a wonderful session! I really enjoy your practice its helped me to LOVE yoga again! I spent quite a bit of time doing vol1 and 2, these have moved me long at a good pace and set me up for a bit more difficulty. I found that vol 3, though wonderfully executed a bit more than I can handle at this point. I felt like there was a step missing. I decided to skip some of it and to go a bit slower till I can do this session without being so tired at the end of it. Thank you for your positive vibe and your effort to teach us without killing us! :}
Thank you Shelly! I love your classes and beautiful voice. Please continue to make these videos. Thank you again!
Hi Dear Teacher ! Hope you're fine ! Thanks for your lesson ! Still there, every wednesday evening, a real and dear time for myself ! I stay always with the same course trying to do it the best ! Maybe once, I should try Vol. 2 !
Thank you for this lovely trio of practices. Your voice is so soothing and grounding. I hope you will consider hosting more classes.
Your classes are such a wonderful way to begin my day! Love your gentle voice and the way you make every move so fluid and easy to follow. I've been alternating between Volume 2 and 3 daily for weeks now and feel so much more flexible (and even a little smaller and tighter!) I look forward to a Volume 4 someday soon to get to mix it up even more. Thank you. Namaste.
Love these , so well done . Thank you
I have really enjoyed all three of these gentle yoga for beginners and seniors. Please keep going! I'm looking forward to more of your video instruction.
I love your series. Found them during the height of the pandemic because I realized I needed to get back to moving, but how? I used to do gentle yoga weekly prior so this seemed like a good fit. It's challenging but with alternatives, time length is perfect for me, and best of all you recorded your voice prior to doing the movements which works so much better for me. Your videos are now part of my rotation, thank you
I agree with Baby Bear--just right! Thank you!
Absolutely love this class. I wish I could find more than 3 classes. Peaceful, soothing, but challenging. Perfect for me. Thank you, Shelley
Wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing this relaxing class!
I loved this practice, feel a wonderful sense of accoplishment and stretched muscles
Thank you Shelley for your relaxing and beautiful yoga videos. I'm new to yoga and appreciate the affirming narrative, the gentle stretches and your lovely voice. I've just worked up to Vol. 3 and hope there's a Vol. 4 in the works.
I love this one!! Vols 1, 2 and 3 are my go-to when I am looking to energize. Thank you!
Wonderful, This is helping me after sitting all day long and feeling stagnant... I love it! Thank you for creating this. Also, I love your quiet strength and positive energy! Keep creating ! Namaste
Thank you for this wonderful class. I was hoping for a Volume 3!
Thank you
Thank you for the wonderful yoga class, really found it helpful after returning to yoga. Very soothing voice and background music!!
Thank you for a wonderful class! I thoroughly enjoy every minute ! Thanks again!
Sure wish you could create more videos! Love your style!
Love your voice and practice. Too bad about the ads in this session.
Thank you so much, love the video and love you narration. I can't wait for the Vol 4, please.
What a beautiful practice! i agree your voice is so soothing.I really enjoyed this and will be enjoying it more often!
Thank you and so helpful to me
I appreciate the nice pace of this class. And the very natural presentation. Great class! I've been attempting to offer yoga on UA-cam and it's a challenging!
Thank you for your videos! Just what I need to get back to my yoga practice! I wish you would do more videos! Namaste
