    Yoga Nidra for Cellular Healing | Yoga with Melissa 726

    This Yoga Nidra for Cellular Healing is a portal into deep restoration—where your body’s innate wisdom can come forward and remember how to heal. In this guided practice, you’ll be gently attuned to the intelligence of your cells, the rhythm of your breath, and the quiet coherence of your inner field. Through awareness, golden light, and the frequency of stillness, your nervous system softens, your energy recalibrates, and healing becomes a lived experience. ✨ If you’d like to take your rest even deeper, join our Yoga with Melissa Membership. Members receive audio downloads of all my Yoga Nidras, plus access to our month-long REST Incubator—a supportive space to soften, release, and truly restore.

    Restorative Yoga for Headaches 🤕| Yoga with Melissa 725

    Restorative Yoga for Headaches 🤕| Yoga with Melissa 725  If you’re in the middle of a headache or migraine, this class is for you. As someone who experiences them weekly, I know how exhausting and overwhelming they can feel. I also know that most yoga classes marketed for headaches simply aren’t doable when you're actually in it. That’s why I created this minimal-cue restorative yoga class — a quiet, prop-supported practice designed to meet you exactly where you are, without asking anything of you. You’ll remain in inclined, supported positions to reduce head pressure, with optional extras like a heating pad for your neck and shoulders, an ice pack for your head, and an eye pillow if you’re light sensitive. There’s no talking once you are in the poses — just gentle guidance into stillness. My hope is that this practice can be a sanctuary when you need relief, softness, and permission to rest. Props Needed: Bolster, Blocks, Blankets, Chair Optional Extras: Eye Pillow, Heating Pad, Ice Pack  🌿 Looking for more gentle support for headaches and migraines? Inside my membership, you’ll find exclusive classes like: 🌀 Headache Soother – using a soft foam roller to gently release fascia around the skull, neck, and shoulders 🌸 Yoga for Headaches & Migraines – blending acupressure, self-massage, myofascial release, and mindful movement to retrain pain pathways These practices are crafted with care from someone who truly understands.

    30 minuteYoga for Flexibility Slow Flow | Yoga with Melissa 724

    In this slow flow yoga class, we explore the connection between physical flexibility and nervous system adaptability—a key to staying steady in times of change. You’ll move through standing postures that mirror the grounding qualities of lying-down poses, bringing a sense of ease and release into your flexibility practice. This dynamic yet soft sequence includes hip openers, shoulder releases, and flowing movements that encourage a free and easy flow in both body and mind. By embracing flexibility on the mat, we practice meeting life with openness and resilience. We are also in wood element season, the time of spring renewal and growth. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver meridian governs flexibility—not just in our muscles, but in our ability to adapt and flow with life’s transitions. If you want to dive deeper into seasonal wisdom and meridian-based yoga, check out my book on 5 Element Yin Yoga! 📖 💚 📖 Explore the Wood Element & Liver Meridian in the green section of My Book ➡️ https://melissawest.com/book/ 💡 Track Your Nervous System & Recovery with Ultrahuman Ring Flexibility isn’t just about movement—it’s about understanding how your body responds to stress and recovery. I’ve been using the Ultrahuman Ring to track my HRV (Heart Rate Variability), sleep quality, and overall nervous system balance, and it has been a game-changer in my practice!

    Yin Yoga for Liver & Gallbladder Meridian | YWM 723

    Yin Yoga for Liver & Gallbladder Meridian | YWM 723 🌿Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership Spring is the season of the Wood Element, when the Liver & Gallbladder meridians guide the smooth flow of Qi (energy). When these meridians are in balance, we feel ease, clarity, and emotional flexibility. However, when Qi stagnates, anger, frustration, and irritation can build up. This Yin Yoga practice supports emotional detox for spring, helping you release stuck emotions, restore flow, and soothe irritation. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) inquiry, we will explore anger and frustration, allowing them to be seen and gently transformed. This class includes a reading of “I Remember You” by Dave Ursillo and uses blocks and a blanket for support. Let go of tension, clear stagnant Qi, and connect with the free flow of energy within. ✨ 📖 Want to go deeper? The green section of my book, Five Element Yin Yoga, explores the Wood Element in full depth. ➡️ Get the book: https://melissawest.com/book/ 🔆 Join us LIVE this Sunday for a Spring Equinox workshop-style class inside our membership! 🌿 Membership ➡️ https://www.melissawest.com/membership

    Restorative Yoga for Hips & Low Back | YWM 720

    Restorative Yoga for Hips & Low Back | Yoga with Melissa 720  🌿 Ready to take this deeper? Join our membership for a structured journey into nervous system regulation through yoga. ➡️ http://bit.ly/ywmmembership  Our hips and lower back hold the energetic tension between flexibility and stability, expansion and support. This restorative yoga practice invites you to explore the deeper psycho-spiritual meaning of these areas through somatic experiencing and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering space to gently unwind patterns of control, tension, and holding. By settling into long-held, supported postures, we create an opportunity to notice where we grip, where we soften, and where we can invite more fluidity, creativity, and trust in the body's wisdom. Rather than focusing on stored emotions or trauma, this class embraces the hips as a center of life force energy, adaptability, and creative flow, while the lower back reminds us of the balance between personal strength and the need for external support. Through guided awareness and intentional pauses, you will have space to listen to the quieter parts of yourself—the parts that strive to hold everything together and the parts that long to release. With a nervous system-informed approach, this practice encourages small, sustainable shifts in how we meet resistance, how we recover, and how we expand our capacity to move through life with greater ease. Whether you’re feeling physically tight or energetically overwhelmed, this class is an invitation to trust your body's natural rhythm, find grounding amidst change, and cultivate a deep sense of spaciousness within. If this class resonated with you, inside my membership, we are taking this even deeper this month with a guided pathway for Nervous System Regulation Through Spiritual Ascension. Each week, we integrate practices like this one into a supportive community where you can ask questions, receive guidance, and deepen your experience. You can join us inside. 📖 Deepen Your Practice with Yin Yoga – Winter is the perfect time to nourish your low back, kidneys, and water element through deep, replenishing rest. My Yin Yoga book is filled with poses to support your hips and lower back, bringing balance to your body and mind. Get your copy here 👉 https://melissawest.com/book/
