Hi Everyone,

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. Your body will begin to get stronger with repetition and you’ll get used to the instructions. Most important of all is to end with a few minutes of relaxation to let whatever you’ve done integrate in the body and to observe what it has done for you.

The poses I demonstrate here are:

cat pose / marjaryasana

cow pose / tibilasana

mountain pose / tadasana

standing forward bend / uttanasana

low lunge / anjaneyasana

downward facing dog / adho mukha svanasana

warrior I / virabhadrasana I

warrior II / virabhadrasana II

enjoy,

Esther

HI everyone,

Twisting is such a great thing to do, you give your organs a nice detoxing squeeze, not to mention the benefits for your spinal column and back muscles. Bring a twist into any practice you do and sometimes just focus on twisting only. Here are some of my favourite twists, Enjoy..

Yoga can be very useful for athletes and sports people of various disciplines. In this video I explore some of the benefits of yoga for runners. Runners can suffer from stiff hips, quads, hamstrings, and a tight muscle called quadratus lumborum.

if you want to do more my “yoga class for hips” will do wonders for you too, alternate between the 2 a bit.

standing forward bend / uttanasana

downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana

low lunge / Anjaneyasana

hamstring tretches

intense side stretch or pyramid pose or runners stretch / parvottanasana

Yoga may help those who suffer from asthma. In this sequence I explore some simple exercises that may help you to relax your breathing, open your chest and lungs. It will help you to generally feel better, more relaxed, more open and that in itself will calm everything down.

Do it for a while every day and feel the difference for yourself!

Hi everyone,

I made this yoga video when I got back from a holiday myself.

Hi everyone, If you fancy doing handstand, what you may used to do naturally as a child, without fear, this is a great pose. It gives you great energy, really strengthens the upper body, and warms you up beautifully for any work afterwards. If there is some apprehension or fear and you do go for it, it’ll give you a good buzz, remember its good to sometimes challenge yourself a bit, go beyond your comfort zone.

the poses I demonstrate here are:

plank pose

downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana

half handstand

childpose / balasana

Hi…, I’ve made this video to help you get stronger legs. I’ve personally noticed that when my legs got stronger my back relaxed more. Also this sequence helps to stretch and open the front of the body. You can repeat this sequence as many times as you wish, I would recommend to repeat it up to 6 times to build up some stamina. Also you can change pace, for example start with 6 breaths in every pose and when you know the sequence well, you can take one breath in every pose, it keeps it interesting.

Have fun and drop me a line if you have a question or comment on how you’re doing!

The poses that I demonstrate in this video are:

mountain pose / tadasana

standing forward bend / uttanasana

downward facing dog pose / adho mukha svanasana

wide legged forward bend / prasarita padottanasana

yoga squat

warrior I / virabhadrasana I

warrior II / virabhadrasana II

seated twist

garland pose / malasana

This yoga routine is to help you strengthen the mid and upper back. I use 3 variations of the locust pose / salabhasana for this sequence (I will upload a photo in the poses section soon!). Important is, when you follow this video and my instructions, that you focus on the muscles you’re looking to strengthen, feel them. Also make sure you’re not contracting more muscles than necessary…, like your face, keep smiling and have fun.

Esther.

Yoga video for the hips

When I made this video it was one of Ireland’s very rare very beautiful days, isn’t it a great country! Anyway…. back to yoga. When your hips are sore or stiff , when your lower back hurts, when you feel emotionally stuck, all good reasons to do this sequence!! Also for general maintenance for your hips, do this sequence now and than. Especially when you don’t like working on the hips, do it even more!!!

Be gentle though…. keep checking in how you, the hips, feel. You’re looking to open your body, to create space, not punish or push yourself.

As I keep saying …. most of all , enjoy!
