This beginner hatha yoga class is actually doable. Designed in my real yoga for real people supportive style, this class invites you to slow down. Don’t worry, this class has only simple movements and an unhurried pace. You’ll find a spaciousness in each posture. You don’t need any previous experience or any props.

Expect a kind and confidence-building approach that doesn’t rush or overwhelm. You’ll move through foundational poses that relieve stress and tension, restore your energy, and leave you feeling more at ease in your body. This class is both relaxing and low-effort and is suitable for beginners, but I think my more seasoned students will appreciate its simplicity as well! Oh! And for those of you who are looking for a morning yoga class, this is a great class to start your day.

10 minute Yoga Nidra Full Body Scan | Yoga with Melissa 734

Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership

This 10 minute yoga nidra is a short guided practice that will take you through a full body scan.

In this 10-minute Yoga Nidra, I’ll guide you through a deeply restorative body scan to help you feel both grounded and renewed.

Yoga Nidra is a guided meditation that supports your nervous system and offers profound rest. It can be especially helpful for insomnia, anxiety, stress, adrenal fatigue, and more.

In this practice, you’ll be invited into a state of conscious rest physically relaxed, mentally calm, and emotionally at ease, while staying awake and aware. You’ll gently move through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep states, all while anchored in the present moment. This guided meditation often brings clarity, stillness, and spacious insight.

Research suggests that an hour of Yoga Nidra may be as restorative as four hours of deep sleep. In just ten minutes, allow your body to release tension, your breath to soften, and your awareness to settle into calm.

🌿 Ready to go deeper into rest, renewal, and nervous system nourishment?

Join us for our month-long REST incubator inside the membership, where you'll be supported with daily restorative practices and a space to truly exhale.

Morning Deep Wake Up Stretch | Yin Yoga | YWM 733

Join our Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership

Start your day with deep presence and poetic nourishment in this gentle Yin Yoga practice designed to awaken your body and spirit. Inspired by John O’Donohue’s A Morning Offering, this class invites you to meet the dawn not with urgency, but with reverence. Through long, supported holds and mindful stillness, we soften into the invisible geography of a new beginning, stretching deeply into your side body, shoulders, and hips while tuning into the quiet presence of your breath.

Each pose: Broken Wing, Bananasana, Dragon (Lunge), and Fish offers a space to find your appropriate edge, soften into sensation, and stay awhile. These 3-minute holds help rehydrate your fascia, release habitual tension, and invite in emotional clarity. You’ll close the practice with Fish Pose and a re-reading of John O’Donohue’s A Morning Offering, letting the resonance of poetry settle into your cells. Let this be a meditative start to your day.

Restorative Yoga for Digestion & Deep Nervous System Reset | YWM 730 

This class is a gentle invitation to return to your body’s natural intelligence. When life feels too fast, too demanding, or too much to process, your digestion often reflects it — through tightness, bloating, or sluggishness. In this practice, we soften the nervous system’s need to control, brace, or push through. You’ll be guided to shift from sympathetic overdrive into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state — where healing, nourishment, and true integration become possible.

This class supports both physical digestion and emotional release, using restorative shapes, energetic cues, and frequency alignment to remind your system: you are safe to receive. You don’t need to earn rest. You don’t have to fix or force anything. Let sensation move through without labeling it. Let your breath and presence do the digesting. In this space of allowing, regulation becomes your boundary, trust becomes your medicine, and love becomes your inner rhythm.

💛 Want more support for your digestive health?

We have a whole section in our video library for members dedicated to digestion — including myofascial release, pranayama, self-massage, restorative yoga, and more.

🧘‍♀️ 13 classes in total to help you regulate, release, and receive.

Yoga Nidra for Deep Energy Healing | Frequency Repair | YWM 729

Embody Your Energetic Blueprint melissawest.com/embody-your-energetic-blueprint

This deeply restorative Yoga Nidra is designed to support energetic healing and frequency repair across all levels of your being—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and ancestral. Everything you’ve ever experienced leaves an imprint on your body. Over time, these imprints can distort your natural energy flow, creating patterns of pain, fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from your soul’s path. Through guided awareness, intention, and subtle sensing, this Yoga Nidra helps you gently release these distortions and reconnect with your original energetic blueprint—the coherent, radiant essence of who you are.

Whether you're navigating chronic illness, emotional trauma, spiritual awakening, or ancestral entanglements, this practice invites you to soften into a healing field of coherence and clarity. You'll rotate awareness through your body, reprogram limiting patterns, and allow your nervous system to seal in a new frequency—one aligned with vitality, peace, and truth. This is a safe space to recalibrate, restore, and remember your light. ✨

Calming Yin Yoga Before Bed | Yoga with Melissa 728

🔗 Sign up here to explore your Human Design Energetic Blueprint this summer: https://melissawest.com/embody-your-energetic-blueprint/

In this calming yin yoga before bed class, we will gently soften the subtle undercurrents of tension and control that often surface at the end of the day. Through slow, nurturing poses and invitations into wonder, surrender, and deep trust, you’ll soothe your nervous system and open to the quiet healing currents available to you as you drift toward sleep. This practice honors the wisdom of your body’s natural rhythms, allowing you to lay down the day’s burdens and receive the profound support of the Earth and stars that are already holding you.

Bedtime is a sacred, liminal threshold where your body, mind, and spirit become deeply receptive. This calming yin yoga practice will help you unwind from mental loops of "fixing" or "doing," and instead guide you into a space of pure receiving — magnetizing nourishment, wisdom, and repair during your sleep. Through breath, stillness, and gentle self-trust, you'll remember: you don’t have to hold it all together. You are already being lovingly carried by the greater field of life itself.

🌈 June – Embody Your Energetic Blueprint: a 9-center Human Design Summer Immersion https://melissawest.com/embody-your-energetic-blueprint/

Gratitude as a profound, embodied state that aligns us with the cosmic heart and our multidimensional essence. Gratitude is not just an emotion but a transformative force that connects us to the divine and facilitates our evolution. When we embrace gratitude, we activate a form of prayer that transcends traditional boundaries, leading to a deeper connection with the present moment and the universal flow.

Gratitude is a transformative force that fosters healing, clarity, and a harmonious resonance with the universe. When we are humble and surrender in the practice of gratitude, it allows us to receive the full spectrum of light and love available to us. In this class we can wake up with gratitude, recognizing the sacredness in every moment and aligning ourselves with the higher dimensions of consciousness.

This gentle full body morning stretch is designed to awaken your body and open your heart. In this class, we meet the day with reverence. We allow gratitude to move through the breath and fom that place of embodied presence, we infuse our day with the energy of devotion and the sacredness of being alive.

☀️ Whether you’re just waking up or simply arriving more fully into your day, this class invites

you to experience gratitude as a frequency… a gentle current beneath every breath.
