I was so overwhelmed this morning by someone who triggered me by patronising and judging me. I was so hurt I became exhausted mentally and emotionally. I remembered Melissa West does great restorative sequences and came straight here. This yoga made me feel rested and self-loving again. It also allowed me to release some anger and tears on the mat! Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🙏💚
I always come back to this whenever I’m feeling extra exhausted and notice “guilt” creeping in. I find comfort/empathy in your voice/words and leave the mat feeling rested and renewed in my truth 🙏
Thank you. I am deeply rested. And a bit emotional now. I feel that I just gave myself a beautiful gift by participating in a full hour of gentle rest🙏💙
I was quite exhausted today. Heavy periods + full day at office + very hot weather. Came home and instead of crashing on my bed, decided to check if you have anything on 'tired' and found this video! Thank you! Just perfect. I am feeling better after doing this! Really liked the idea of allowing myself to feel exhausted instead of resisting it! Thank you :) I am deeply rested!
Hi Melissa, I recently just moved to Vancouver Island, so it is very exciting for me to see some of the filming locations close by! I hope one day I can meet you in person. I discovered you this summer during a period of deep unhappiness and depression caused by a highly stressful work environment. Your videos greatly helped me to get past the major low I was experiencing. Not only did my sleep quality vastly improve, but so did my mental health. Every time I watch one of your videos, I find I am able to TRULY relax. Before you, I hadn't done too many restorative classes because I always thought that I had to push myself-even on the yoga mat. After watching your videos, I feel I am free of that. I am deeply rested for this evening, and once again, I thank you for another great video. Thanks for putting out full length classes so often.
so pleased you reached out to say hello Rachel, welcome to the island :) Who knows, maybe one day we will be able to do retreats on the island and you can join :)
Thank you! I've lately just started new job while having some struggle with my beloved and found myself very depleted! This brought a lots of rest and presence. I am deeply rested
I am deeply rested. Thank you, Melissa, for being there and for your gift of yoga. My yoga time with you is my safe place, my "me" time, my quiet time. Blessings!
I am deeply rested. Dear Melissa, this restorative yoga class is wonderful. You are an inspiration and a big help for me in moments of deep stress. Thank you so much. Namaste from Germany.
i am deeply rested having moved from "compulsive doingness" to "rest into beingness"... "from a sense of limitation to a sense of infinite possibility". Awesomeness. Om!
Can someone share or explain what this is? I see yoga in the title, is it meditating in poses. Are we clearing our thoughts? Can we add pillows progressivly to increase the angle? 🙏✌
Hi Rachel, there is a full description of the class below the video and yes you can add pillows to make it more comfortable. It's a restorative class :)
Like your videos, except for the music. Especially when there are natural sounds anyway. I have a neurological condition which makes sounds, particularly music or multiple layers of sound very mentally fatiguing.
I am deeply rested. The joy of surrender, letting go. So glad to return to these hour long yin classes. Shanti.
Perfect for the summer months :)

I love when we find something that works even better for us.

soooo good Susanna :)
