    So good. I had a really awful day and this practice helped me to release the fear and the anxiety, as well as my hips! Thank you so much.
    • Felicia Tomasko     May 6th, 2013

  • Autumn Jordan     Aug 8th, 2012
    Glorious yin class to counter my usual vinyasa, and what a great way to prepare for a great nights sleep. I loved your instruction, and the sleeping pigeon twist was perfect. Thank you so much Felicia. I am going to make it a priority to take at least one of your yin classes to let go of my other practices. Namaste
    • Felicia Tomasko     Mar 25th, 2013
      Dear Autumn, Thank you for your note and feedback. I find that Yin is vitally important to help us cross-train for some of the more vigorous practices--or even just daily life. Glad you enjoyed this! I love the sleeping pigeon twist as well. keep up the cross-training and until next time! Namaste, Felicia

  • Meg Rushbrook     Jun 12th, 2012
    Felisha, you were the first teacher I took a class from on yogaglo.com! I really love your classes! Could you please tell me the song you played during Savasana in this video? (Title and artist) Thanks so much! Meg xoxo
    • Felicia Tomasko     Mar 25th, 2013
      Dear Meg, Thank you for your note about my classes and thanks for trying out Yogaglo! I'm hoping you see this note. Are you asking about the chant I sung during savasana? I sang the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra which is an ancient healing mantra asking for us to be released from fear. Sorry I missed this comment till now but I hope you saw it! Namaste, Felicia
  • Leah Carpenter     Apr 4th, 2012
    thank you Felicia! wonderful reminders to sink and surrender into the poses. you were very helpful during this class. just what I needed tonight.
    • Felicia Tomasko     Mar 25th, 2013
      Dear Leah, I'm glad that you found just what you needed and the reminders helped you connect internally. Sometimes we need permission to surrender. Hope to see you again online. Namaste, Felicia
  • Stephanie Sherie     Mar 2nd, 2012
    My husband and I did this together. Very relaxing and good hip openers!
    • Felicia Tomasko     Mar 25th, 2013
      Dear Stephanie, What a great practice to do together! Since everything we do in life sometimes has a tendency to make our hips tighter, these practices that open us up are a vital part of our health and well-being. I'm glad you were able to relax! Namaste, Felicia

  • Amber Davis     Aug 31st, 2011
    Just what I needed. I released a couple of tears too. That's releasing tension alright!
  • Felicia Tomasko     Aug 2nd, 2011
    Dear Florence
    When I titled this releasing tension, I was hoping it would have that effect. I'm glad it did.
    Happy practicing!

    Mmmmm...delish!
  • Felicia Tomasko     Jul 13th, 2011
    Thanks Concetta for your comments. We're all trying to practice, on and off the mat. Teaching, practicing, learning, adjusting, in each pose, in every part of the practice, every step of the way.
    Felicia
  • Concetta Antonelli     Jul 13th, 2011
    Wow! Its interesting how Linda's comment landed on me. My first response was to be curious and ask: Was she being playful or making a joke? My second response felt sarcastic: How can she do the practice and watch the video that closely? Cuz when I did this class I didn't notice Felicia's habit! So thanks to Linda AND Felicia for giving me a chance to do my yoga practice OFF the mat!
  • Felicia Tomasko     Jul 13th, 2011
    Dear Linda,
    I guess we all have habits that we don't even notice! Thanks for the note,
    Felicia
