Welcome to a very special milestone, my dear Yoga with Melissa YouTube Yoga Community! This is the 700th episode of Yoga with Melissa, and I am so grateful to have you all with me on this daily yoga journey. To celebrate, I have a special class, designed to deeply replenish your energy reserves.



In this restorative yoga class, we will embrace the art of restoring our energy with LONG holds—700 seconds per pose, which is about 11.5 minutes each. These extended holds are a tribute to our 700th episode, symbolizing not only the depth and longevity of our practice together over the last 15 years, but also the potential of restorative yoga to replenish our energy reserves. 



What to Expect:



Deep Relaxation: Each pose will be held for 700 seconds, allowing you to sink deeply into relaxation and truly let go. These long holds will help activate your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting profound rest and recovery.



Energy Replenishment: Through these restorative poses, we'll focus on gently opening the body and encouraging the free flow of energy. This practice is designed to help you recharge your energy reserves, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.



Stillness & Silence: The extended time in each pose will give you the space to cultivate quiet and peace, creating a parasympathetic nervous system state that supports both rest and renewal.



Let’s honor this incredible journey together with a practice that embodies the essence of restorative yoga—long, luxurious holds that allow you to reset and recharge deeply. 



Thank you for being part of this yoga with Melissayoutube community, and here’s to many more episodes of yoga nidra, restorative yoga, yin yoga, hatha yoga and qigong yoga flows.



Join me for this special class, and let’s celebrate the 700th episode of Yoga with Melissa in the most relaxing and rejuvenating way possible.



Yours in Yoga, Melissa

It is easy to feel burned out and running on fumes, especially in summer when high temperatures make doing life even more exhausting. This qigong yoga flow is designed to nourish the kidneys so that we can recover and store energy.



Our kidneys are responsible for storing and distributing our vital energy throughout our body, so if we are looking to recover energy, this is the best place to create an energy reserve within.



The kidneys are the root of life and provide the fundamental energy we need for our physical strength and endurance. Join me for this qigong yoga flow class where we will recover and store energy in our kidney organ system.

Welcome to the first class in the Rest and Reset Series. 



This 70 minute yoga nidra for healing is a deeply healing and restorative guided meditation for when you need physical and emotional healing. Deep rest is essential to our overall physical, mental and emotional well-being. When we take time to deeply rest, our bodies can be healed at a cellular level. Our parasympathetic nervous system, lymphatic system and organs can do their natural work of repair. When you are experiencing illness, pain and emotional depletion this guided meditation for deep inner healing will allow you to tap into your own body’s innate capacity for healing. 



In this yoga nidra meditation for healing we will trace your awareness through the network of cells, tissues, and organs to improve the free flow of energy along the pathways for your body’s wellbeing. This meditative sleep yoga allows you to open your awareness into different parts of your body to mobilize your own innate healing power. This free flow of energy will greatly assist your body’s innate healing capacity.



This return to your inner world for healing is a kind of revolution. One that puts aside the demands of our capitalist consumer culture, one that demands that we are aways producing and doing. Because there is a part of your inner being that knows there is deep value in rest and repair, we can call upon it to support us in our healing. This is a radical act of reclamation and the first step towards healing our world. 



I hope you enjoy this extra long yoga nidra. 



May all beings be healthy. 



May all beings be at ease.

Cleanse, Clear & Heal your Emotional Body in this qigong yoga fusion class. Emotional pain often manifests in our bodies as tension, tightness, or even chronic discomfort, particularly when emotions become stuck and unexpressed. This can leave us feeling heavy, burdened, and disconnected from our true selves. In our Emotional Release Qigong Yoga Fusion class, you will be guided through a gentle yet powerful practice designed to help you release these trapped emotions and cleanse your emotional body.



Drawing from both Qigong and Yoga, this class will support you in letting go of emotional burdens that may not even be yours, creating space for healing and renewal. Through mindful movements and guided visualizations, you will activate the flow of healing energy, clear emotional blockages, and restore balance within your emotional body. Whether you are dealing with emotional dysregulation, nervous system dysregulation, stress, sadness, anger, anxiety, or other challenging emotions, this practice offers a compassionate and nurturing space to support your emotional well-being. Join me for a powerful emotional cleansing, release and healing class.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Thanks to your requests, we are re-releasing this yoga nidra with VOICE ONLY for your enjoyment. 



Our yoga nidra practice opens our neuroception to be grounded in the present moment, to be more regulated, calm and spacious. By gently moving our awareness around our body, we anchor in the present moment and create a sense of calm and presence. 



In this calming Vagus Nerve Yoga Nidra practice, we invite deep relaxation. As I guide your awareness through your body, I invite a profound sense of stillness to envelop you. Breath awareness and practice will regulate your vagus nerve. With each breath, we nurture connection to the present moment, fostering a sanctuary of peace within ourselves. 



Through this practice, we cultivate a harmonious balance between body, mind, and spirit, tapping into the healing power of the vagus nerve to restore inner calm.
