Last night Wholesomeone.com hosted a twitter party about yoga therapy, including giving away awesome prizes.  Mel was the featured moderator, tweeter…speaker.  You know what I mean.

If you weren’t able to make it you missed a great conversation about how to practice if you’re a beginner, benefits of yoga and some random thoughts that Mel has about yoga…maybe the only platform where those thoughts are appreciated 😉

Usually mountain pose is considered the standard foundation for all poses. But I believe it’s cat/cow. Thoughts? #yogatherapy

@MelMoves Considering that the spine is the root of the body, you may be correct. Heating up the spine really empowers you through.
