    Shelley Nicole, thank you so much for this series. It truly is gentle yet challenging for those of us over 65. Your voice is a soothing guide.

    I’m 65 and never felt so in tune with my body since doing Shelley’s yoga. My balance has improved so much. I’m more flexible. Recently, I stumbled on an uneven path and righted my balance and didn’t fall. I know it’s because of these classes. ❤

    I love Shelley's voice, it is so soothing. This is my go-to set of yoga poses when I haven't been able to do anything for awhile. God bless you, Shelley ❤

    Thank you so much Shelley. I started to follow this programme during lockdown and worried it might be a bit late for me (I’m 70) but it’s great. I’m not the fittest person but I no longer wake with stiffness in my back and aches and pains. I’m sure it’s due to the gentle exercises and stretching. So glad I started even at my advanced age !

      Hi Judy. You are not too old and brava to you for beginning. I am a 74 year old yoga teacher and I specialize in teaching students who are aging and want to do it well. Keep at it.

    I just love your videos. I love the sound of your voice and the instructions are so easy, you say just the right amount of words and the poses are just what I love. The length is perfect. Gone are the days when I want to go to a class of 90 mins. Instead, I can do these videos often as it is only 30 mins. of a complete life-sustaining routine. Beautiful teaching thank you.

    I LOVE Shelley. Shelley 's classes have given me the ones I've been looking for. With my gym closed due to covid, Shelley has been my instructor.

    I discovered yoga in 1965 with the publishing of Jess Stern's "Yoga, Youth and Reincarnation." Loved it. Through the years I stopped doing it. At 67 I found myself stiffening, experiencing pain in my hips and shoulders and loosing my sense of balance. Your gentle yoga classes guided by your lovely voice have returned me to a mental and physical condition that I thought I would never experience again at my age.
    Thank you, Shelley

    Love your videos. You need to make volume 3. I love the fact that you narrated it separately. It's less distracting than narrating as you are doing the practice.

  • @lkempu.s.a.1166

    Yes, love your voice and your approach and I love how you walk me through my breathing. I'm a breast cancer survivor and I'm getting back into yoga. You're a wonderful instructor offering gentle and supportive guidance. You definitely need to make a DVD!

    I found you when I started chemotherapy 3 1/2 years ago and you got me through it. You are my favorite yoga teacher and I still go back to your sessions - even now at 78 years and cancer free. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    • @mibrahim7895
      @mibrahim7895 2 місяці тому

      I started watching Shelley in 2017 when I was recovering from Chemo. Her gentle yoga helped so much. Physically and Mentally. Sounds silly but her short cropped hair helped too as I was growing mine through. It helped me feel ok with it. Still here with her in 2024. ❤

    I am 59 yrs young and I started with a chair yoga class offered in my community. I am so glad to have found your Mat Project
    yoga for seniors. I am currently doing vol.1 and just included vol,2. Yoga is helping me improve my flexibility, Increase my
    muscle strength which helps with the aches and pains of maturity. Looking forward to more yoga videos from you and yes the idea of a DVD is great.

  • @outbeyond5451
    @outbeyond5451 7 років тому +9

    I can't get enough of this. Looked everywhere to little avail for videos going slow and easy, so I can learn and concentrate without having to worry about being "left behind" by the teacher. And suddenly, there you were! Found you! The Mat Project is extra special and I practice with your videos - and concentrate - every night. Thank you for understanding our needs. :)

  • @lindabilyeu8331
    @lindabilyeu8331 5 років тому +9

    I just discovered yoga at 61. I loved the first video, this one I have trouble with because the music is louder than your voice. I'd love to see you remake it with better sound. In order to hear the instructions, I have to turn it up so loud the background music is distracting. But I do love your classes. You have such a smooth inspiring voice. I'm going to end up skipping this one and move on to number 3. Hoping after a year I can master it !

  • @amyleaclemons4141
    @amyleaclemons4141 8 років тому +1

    Love this. I practiced fairly seriously about five years ago, but have been fighting chronic illnesses for awhile. This video and the first one are helping me find my body again and accept it for what it can do.

    For the first time, I can DO yoga. I do other physical exercise regularly, and never thought I was flexible for yoga. I was amazed that I could complete this, your narration added instead of talking while yoga-ing, it just can't get any better!

    @lelakatzman1300 7 років тому

    I LOVE the first vol. for beginners and seniors and I love the concept of Vol. 2. However I thought it was too fast. I am older and don't do strenuous yoga with any regularity. But I do gentle yoga and our instructor gives us more time with the breathing and stretching of each pose.

  • @gailkrisman3479

    Shelly, both 1 & 2 have helped me invite YOGA back into my life. They are gentle and easy to follow. THANKS so much. I come to my outside office daily to work as an online instructor and freelance writer. At 3pm, I shut down and go to the mat!

  • @Droid85Diva
    @Droid85Diva 6 років тому +1

    You are amazing! I love how you walk us through step by step without pausing or interrupting the flow of movements. I literally started yoga four days ago with your help from day 1. And I am in love. Now I need to find a mat because I can see myself in this for the long haul. Xoxo

  • @shanwalks

    The whole family now doing your routine. Our two older teens enjoying it with us. Feeling stronger and more balanced with each session. I would love to have a safe but serious neck routine If you are short on ideas. Thanks for your videos!

  • @jeanmarieteresa4067
    @jeanmarieteresa4067 7 років тому

    Finally! I have found what I've been looking for. I am battling an autoimmune disease and have been struggling to find an exercise routine that I can handle without getting nauseous. To be honest it hurts my pride a bit as I used to be extremely fit and flexible. But baby steps and perseverance should help me regain my strength. Thank you so much for these videos.

    These classes are exactly what I’ve been looking for. They’re just what I need for where my practice is at this season of my life. In this particular video, I found the music overpowered your voice and I had a hard time hearing your instruction, although I really like the style of a separate narration. Thank you.

  • @dianneroy3208
    @dianneroy3208 4 роки тому

    I have done your volume 1 video. Will definitely do this. It is sad to see you haven't done anymore videos. Lot of videos, even though it says for beginners it definitely is not. I can finally do a yoga video without a lot of difficulty. Wish you would do more.

    Did anyone notice the bunny on the ground behind her in the opening few minutes?? Loved that! Added a little something extra to the serene quality of the video. Like so many others I found this to be the perfect yoga sequence for beginners and older folks or returning students. I am 53 years young and have been doing yoga on and off since my late teens. I started watching " Lilias yoga and you " on public television in the 1970's when it wasn't cool to do yoga. As someone who is trying to come back to yoga once again this was perfect! Like others that have posted here, I too found the sound quality a little poor. However once you follow the routine a few times you get the routine down. Also loved volume 1. Haven't watched vol. 3 yet, but I expect great things! excellent work keep it up! Namaste🍃
