Yoga with Melissa 88 is on Kurmasana, tortoise pose. Kurmasana was Vishnu’s second incarnation. He took the avatar of a tortoise to offer his back for the churning of the ocean to bring out the nectar of immortality. Tortoise pose reminds us of the value of withdrawing our senses from the world to find peace within. This pose offers us a beautiful hatha yoga class of hip openers. It will leave you with a wonderful broad feeling across the back of your pelvis and sacrum.
You will begin with legs up the wall while I share with you the story of Kurmasana. We stay with your legs up the wall for a hip and hamstring opening sequence using the wall as a prop, we will also include some abdominal practices here. When we move away from the wall we will do some cat/cow to warm up your spine, along with some more hip openers. When we come to standing, we continue to use the wall to open up your hips, hamstrings and side body. Coming back down to seated we practice kurmasana or tortoise pose and withdrawal of the senses.

What a great class!!! Loved working with a wall. Thank you, Dr Melissa West! Namaste.
The wall is a great tool to work with Iryna. We have a whole class against the wall on the membership site. The members find it super challenging actually - but they love it! Namaste, Melissa
Great class, thanks again xoxo
I enjoyed this class! Beautiful ❤

you're so welcome :)
Definitely my avatar will have to be a tortoise so I may carry on the back my emotional loads when they get too heavy in my heart, and to be able to withdraw from a world that, at times, seems mean spirited so I can find peace and solace deep within myself. The hip openers were powerful, three days after the class I was still feeling the effects of the exercise; excellent. Namaste
nice practice
yyoo quiero esta clase en español,Melissa por favor,,,..Namaste :(
Hi Melissa, no I don't have any turtles/tortoises in my house, but I should definitely purchase some. I also want to purchase the image of Goddess Lakshmi who, for some reason, pops in mind all the time. I have read references of her as Maha and Mata which is correct? Keep up the great work you're doing bringing Yoga into my home. Good thing to remind us we aren't a Yoga Models but real people! Namaste
