Your sun salutation video is very transparent and thorough, so it`s easy for beginners like me. From my own experiences i must say that together with daily meditation yoga is something incredible. Namaste!

I tried Dashama's 30 Day Yoga Challenge at the beginning of this year and it's changed my life. She is amazing and has taught me so much and with it being online I can do it whenever it fits my schedule. I do some kind of yoga pretty much every day now? and the benefits are out of this world.

Beautiful and amazing! I'm 59 years old and have just discovered yoga. Where have I been? Well, I've been at the office and now I need something to combat all those years of stress and and help me reclaim my "self." Never too late to teach a forward-facing dog new tricks, I guess. I loved these videos.

Currently, I am on day 26 of the 30 day challenge. Just after a few days of doing Dashama's videos, I felt such an improvement in my flexibility, strength, and the biggest transformation, my spirituality. After her videos, I feel so much lighter, relaxed, and happier. Because of this challenge, I will be doing yoga as often as I can (and as of right now, that is 7 days a week). Dashama is truly an example to live by.

I have been overweight,very, since childhood and had never attempted regular exercise.Middle aged and arthritic and almost unable to walk normal it was time to change. I began using a variety of work out videos. While doing a workout ''dance'' i severely injured myself damaging leg and hips, torn mjuscles,tendons etc. and was almost unable to walk at all. I was depressed at the set back after just beginning to exercise and see weight loss results. I saw the 30 Day Yoga challenge on Facebook. i chatted with friend who has practiced yoga for many years who was aware of my condition. He encouraged me to try the challenge. That was in early April.. It was a great intro to yoga and the yoga was perfect for my healing process. Dashama;s low pressure approach (love the :''if its available to you..''way of suggestioning) was welcoming and comforting to an ignorant novice . In the 5 months since i have kept yoga as a part of my daily lifestyle and am excited learning more about yoga lifestyle influences and have encouraged many many others to seek out and try the challenge-especially those similar to me dealing with weight, age and inexperience. ( iactually work at store selling DVD's and when helping customers in the workout video selection iI have often shared with them how to start the 30 Day Yoga Cahllenge :D)

I would love to take some classes with you in person! Your videos have really helped me because I am a yoga instructor and I travel and teach around the world. Because of this lifestyle it is next to impossible to find a good teacher and so I have been using your yoga videos to learn and progress. You are my most constant teacher and an inspiration! Thank you!

Thank you Dashama. You remind me to look at the simple, beautiful parts of life. Since practicing yoga more frequently I no longer take anti-depressants. My parents got divorced, a break-up with the love of my life at the time (id planned a lot with him) a good friend moved. You have reminded me of so much because when I practice yoga, I feel wonderful, amazing, rejuvenated,and alive.I see what I'm grateful for. please keep in touch. Its a dream to practice with you.

Hi there, First of i would like to thank you for your amazing and most inspiring videos.I've been trying to come up with a routine during this summer break.I can't help myself wonder whether it is a good idea to start in the morning with 3 miles of running followed by a couple sets of sun salutations as warm up and then continue with some of your 30 day yoga challenge routines (day 1-6 in particular).and after that finish with some crunches, push ups planks etc.I've got also my boxing workout later in the afternoon.And maybe finish the day with some light stretches in the morning. Thank you very much and have a nice day:) bjes

Hi Dashama! What a doll you are! And such an inspiration! I've been participating in a fabulous yoga class once a week for 4+ years and LOVE the results but needed more and found it with your 30-day Challenge. I am drawn to watch and participate because of your light-hearted energy and sweet, positive nature. You continue to challenge my 55 year-young body and I feel sprier every sequence I do with you. Your instruction and encouragement on these videos is invaluable. I am compelled to push myself further, try something new, and perfect what I've been doing for years. Thank you for your gift. Thank you for the challenge. It's just what I needed to jump start my life. Much love, Darris

Hi Dashama :) Your Yoga and Inspiration has changed my lifestyle in such a positive way. I had a fairly healthy and active lifestyle before but once I started watching your healthy food and yoga videos I began to evolve and become even healthier. I love ?watching your videos, I've only been watching them for a few days but the yoga is already starting to help my lower back :)( my back thanks you:) ) Ive gone and tried the goji berries and chia seeds and there amazing. Thank you for helping me change my lifestyle :) Namaste, Kaitlin

I have been doing martial arts since age 8 and I'm now 44. Recently, I tried a new kick from TKD, an art that I don't usually use. I found a new weakness in my game. It was that my "outer" hips were not only really tight, but rather weak, also; they tended to cramp-up when I did this particular kick. My Muay Thai kicks relied very little on this outer hip flexibility. So I found a 2008 post of yours on "opening up your hips" and I spent about 45 minutes working your routine. Not only did I feel what I was wanting to feel-flexibility in the outer hips, but my lower spine started decompressing! I had simply accepted my lower back pain as something I would have to "just live with;" I've had it for over 20 years. For the past two hours, My back has been pain free for the first time in over two decades! Hows that? Two gifts in one! Thank you so much for your help. You are Awesome! Sincerely, Dan

Dashama... I had horribly tight hamstrings and was in desperate need to make them more flexible. After viewing your videos series and some daily practice,I can now stretch them a lot more than before. Over all,I am doing so much better with my flexibility because of your videos. You are a God send and a tremendous blessing to the world. Many blessings to you. Mike, USA

Aloha! Dashama, your Yoga Challenge was absolutely brilliant! I didn't have a deep relationship with yoga or a regular practice before, but YOU are so inspiring and loving, that I will certainly take myself to a whole new level and start living a happier life! I feel so blissed after every practice and I know that if I could just manage to make more better choices in life everything will be beautiful. Your last visualization video was the dot on i for your Yoga Challenge, it just gave me so much more inspiration and I just set myself a new goal for this summer - to learn handstand! Although I just reached the level when I can place my hands flat on the floor in forward bend, I think it's a great goal to work towards! And your whole Challenge was just amazing, everything was perfect! Thank you so much and I really look forward to all your videos and new Challenge in September! Thousand thank yous and lots of love and peace to you! Kadri from Estonia :)"

This alone is like a miracle after one year of pain... Thank you very much..... Whats more is even if none of these worked, getting this message from you is good enough because i almost lost my trust that good willed people exist...and u answering me so kindly taking ur time without any benefits was as good as any kind of therapy even if i thanked u a thousand times i still wont be able to explain what it means to me. stay zen forever."
