Kira, thank you for your gentle, encouraging teaching style which encourages me to return to yoga for healing and relief...and to accept the challenge to work toward a practice of yoga and learning to breathe.

This is wonderful :) Could next season be on the upper back though? That part can get really jammed!

Dearest Alicia, great idea! Next season is with Arturo Peal who will be sharing how our emotions affect our back. Pretty sure there is some upper back included, but we will look into Season 3 as upper back. xok

Just a huge thank you.  Multiple lower spine issues have kept me out of truly living.  This helps so much I can actually attend a concert this weekend without fear of pain.

Is there a way to give a whole show to a friend?

Sumana Ramanan D, that is a great idea! Right now we only have a way for you to share episodes. I believe it's up to 5 a month. So, in 2 month, you could share a whole Season of a Show.
