Yogatic with Esther Ekhart - Welcome!

Hi Everyone,

Here part 3 and the final part of this somatic series. Doing all 3 of them in a row when you are in pain, tense, stressed is very healing. Do them slow, less is more, focus on the release, be with the breath and stay away from pain.

Enjoy it!  It might become one of your favorites!

Here’s part 2 of the Somatics Series

Hi Everyone,

Here a very nice restorative pose to do when tired, or to balance your hormones, trying to get pregnant, … It frees the energy in your pelvic area, opens the groins and hips. Great one to do at the beginning or at the end of your practice :)

Enjoy it!

Hi Everyone,

And here is more on the back! Really you cannot do enough for backs I think and having a few different video’s to choose from is great, you can alternate them and you’ll than find out what works for you!

The poses I demonstarte here are:

• variation of down dog against the wall
• downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana
• cobra pose / bhujangasana
• variation of reclining big toe pose / supta padangusthasana

Have a go at it.  Bringing these poses now and than into your normal practice is also good to maintain a healthy back!

Hi everyone,

Here my favorite set of very slow, meditative healing exercises! These exercises help to remind your brain to keep your body flexible and free from discomfort and pain. It works on releasing habitual holding patterns after shock or injury! You’ll love it, it relaxes you so deeply, also great to calm the nervous system down before going to bed .

Let me know what you think!

Hi Everyone,

In this video we work up to practicing crow pose. We wake up the abdominals first, than we teach the body to round the spine and use the intercoastel muscles so that the body knows what is expected when you are ready to get into the final pose crow pose :) Again don’t give up, allow yourself some time to master this one if you can’t the first time ….

And enjoy the process!

Hey everyone,

Here my new video on how to do half moon pose / ardha chandrasana. It can be a bit of a challenge because it requires focus, core stability and balance, but it is great fun and comes with great benefits! Strengthens your ankles, legs, spine and core. Opens your chest and improves your balance and focus. If you cannot do it at once, great… than enjoy the process of learning, falling out, going back in and eventually suddenly getting it! :)

Hi Everyone,

Here some poses you can do to find relief if flat feet are giving you problems. The main pose to practice is virasana / hero pose. the other thing to think about is to pull up your arches when performing standing poses. Hope this will help :)

Hey everyone,

Here a simple short exercise to do when you feel your shoulders are stiff. Simple and effective and it works on the top and front of the shoulders. Great to do a couple of times a day in the office, and any other time you think about it!
