Hi Everyone,

Here a few yin yoga poses focussing on the lower back and hip area. In yin yoga you hold the poses from 3-5 minutes. It is of great benefit to the body, it works more on the deep connective tissues and joints, rather than on the more superficial yang tissues like the skin and the muscles. Very restorative!

The poses I demonstrate are:

butterfly pose  / also known as  baddha konasana

shoelace / cow face pose

sleeping swan / sleeping pigeon

reclining twist / jatharaparvatanasana

Enjoy the practice!

Hi Everyone,

For this video I have Rachel with me, and she makes me a yummy breakfast. If you like eggs than see how Rachel gives us poached eggs on toast, but with a few added ingredients to make it that bit healthier and nicer!

I promised you a list of ingredients:

• eggs
• cider vinegar (healthier than wine vinegar)
• avocado
• tomatoes
• tahini
• yeast extract with added vit B12 (marmite is how most people know it)
• alfalfa
• spelt bread  (healthier and easier digestible grain than wheat

That’s it, if you want to know how to make it, look at the video!

enjoy! (I did)

Hello Everyone,

If your upper and/or middle back needs a good stretch,..

If you shoulders are tight and you want relief..

If you want to live your life with an open heart, and open mind?

Than this is your pose to practice! Hold it for 3-5 minutes, it is great. Also it is a great warm up if you want to practice deeper back bends.

Hello everyone,
Here a few yoga poses you can do to help calm the body and get the digestive system going. Bring these poses into your regular practice for a while, or do them by themselves. But also think about the portions you eat, overeating could well be causing the problem!
The poses I demonstrate in this sequence are:

• thunderbolt pose / vajrasana
• seated forward bend / paschimottanasana
• lying simple twist
• one leg twist
• savasana / corpse pose

Happy digesting!
Esther

Hi Everyone,

As a result of some requests I’ve decided to let you have a look in my kitchen  Eating healthy does not always come natural and I know it can be helpful to get some ideas so I hope this gives you some.. It is so important what you eat, also from a yoga perspective. You probably all know the phrase “you are what you eat” That is a bit much for me, you’re much more than just what you eat, but if want to be healthy and energetic physically you want to look at eating healthy. A lot of physical problems start from bad diet and some can be fixed with help of a healthy diet. So have an honest look and start making some changes!

Enjoy..

Hi everyone,

In this video the poses I explain are:

• chair pose / utkatasana
• downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana
• plank pose
• variation to chaturanga dandasana
• cobra pose / bhujangasana
• lunge / lunge twist
• child pose / balasana

For all of you who want to do yoga, but don’t know how! There’s no time like the present to start practicing , Just start…, begin with this part one. Slowly get used to some of the basic standing poses that I will go through in this part and the next few.

Hi Everyone,

Here it is, the final episode of yoga for weight loss. All about the thighs and the buttocks. whether you want to lose weight or just bring your body in shape. these are enjoyable exercises to do and you will notice a difference if you do them diligently. I would love some feedback on how stringing the 4 parts together has worked for you!

Yoga for weight loss series:

Part 1 – Visualisation of the series is still in a way the most important exercise, because if your subconscious mind stops believing that you can and will be healthier, stronger and thinner soon, than you can exercise and work out al you want but it won’t happen or stay.

Part 2 – Getting Moving! is also important because it works on getting you to move more, so work on yourself believing it and then go and do the work!

Part 3 Abs and Core This is all about stomach and abs routines which are very effective for strenghtening your core and trimming your tummy…

Part 4 Thighs and Butt This video focuses on burning it off your thighs and butt – and enjoyable yoga routine

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Part 3 of the Weight Loss series. This yoga video is all about working the stomach, abdominal muscles. This is often case a problem area if you want to loose weight, besides that strong abs does a lot for feeling more confident and strong in the world. That in turn will have a positive affect on your sense of discipline to stay with this.

Good luck,

Esther

Hi everyone,

Here I discuss how yoga can help you lose weight, also at the end I take you through a visualization to begin your journey in becoming slimmer and healthier. To be able to lose weight you have to at least be able to imagine yourself being thinner and feeling better about yourself, so your mind knows and understands what it’s working towards. This visualization (that you can do yourself after you’ve done it once with me) is something that you want to repeat often, if possible every day to keep you motivated and disciplined. This is part 1 of a series of 4.

I wish you all the discipline in the world, and a subconscious mind that agrees with becoming thinner and healthier  :-)
