I love the moves; however, I would prefer some calming music. I would also prefer a little less talking. Do you have any other Yin/Surrender.

Michelle, please make more YIN YOGA videos like this. I can't ask you strongly enough. I am grateful to you for making this one.

"Surrender doesn't mean we are giving up... It means we wre giving in a little bit".... Love those eye opening lines🥰😍😘

It's easy to think this isn't doing much but about 2/3 through I started crying and now feel so peaceful. I guess I was releasing some pent up emotions. Thank you!

Dear Michelle, Thank you so much for this yin yoga class for surrender. I enjoyed starting my day this way. I can relate so much to what you said about making self care a priority. This autumn I noticed that as you said, we are what we repeatedly do and so I made an intention to take the qualities of yin into my life more and more and it has been so nourishing. I loved the way you used the props in the gentle inversion, so simple and effective. I also loved your configuration of the body in the windmill twist for the kidneys, it felt incredibly tonifying for my kidneys. Thank you for all you do preparing, filming, editing and uploading these videos for the benefit of all. You are a beautiful heart alchemist. With love and gratitude, Melissa

One thing I have to say your studio ambience is amazing and the interiors are incredible....

Beautiful Class ! One of the best yin experiences I had ! It really opened me up to hearing some deep messages my body keeps in itself, I can really see now, why yin yoga is thought of as being therapeutic... It's great if one can surrender to the practice. Thank you so much ! Your guidance is perfect ! Namaste !

[strawberrysoda]

[Kuzhy]

Sooo good and I'm sooo grateful for coming across this video and your channel (subbed!). Sending you tons of love and positivity! Namaste💖😄✨

I wish I could like this every time I watched it which would be like 30 or more times lol! Surrender is my absolute favorite practice both on and off the mat. Thank you so much for making this! I especially love your wise words throughout the practice.

[DeepFriedLotus]

I love when you talked about surrendering but not giving up. You actually needed to surrender away from ebb and flow in order to make it through the brief hiccup in thought process 😚

Since being in lockdown I have done this beautiful restorative class many times and each time something different strikes me from Michelle's intelligent and insightful dialogue, such as the idea of being a 'heart alchemist'. I normally like my yin classes pretty quiet but it is a particular treat to have the perfect combination of postures with profound commentary. Thank you for restoring me through lockdown!

[dianawhitlock]

Love your message of letting go of the grip we have on life...just perfect as I say goodbye to 2018 and welcome in the white light of 2019. Thank you, I am a fan!

[lillykotkowski]

My mum thinks you are the best yoga 🧘 person and I agree ☝️ I am still a beginner in yoga 🧘‍♀️ tho but I love 💕 your yoga 🧘‍♀️ lessons🥰🤗😸😻🌹

[sanaabidali]

Beautiful class and I love your instructions, the options provided for props as well 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[clarelonghurst]

Love this video and do it all the time. I really like the talking as it helps keep me on track so to speak!

[Jbjeens]

Thank you, Sister! Your words were perfect. ❤

[lohash]

Great class. I appreciate you being real about yourself. It is more empowering to hear a teacher admit that they still get upset or that they want to snap or freak out. That is life and we are all growing. I am going to share this class with my students. Namaste <3

[lotussidsemariegustafsson]
