Yoga for Beginners - Part 1

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



Yoga after the holidays

Hi everyone,

I made this yoga video when I got back from a holiday myself. I spent some time in London and Brighton, and it was absolutely lovely there, but I didn’t do too much yoga… I expect neither did many of my yoga students, so to help them to get back in shape before my classes start again, here you go….

As well I’m demonstrating basic standing postures and made this the 1st part of a sequence of 3 video’s you can follow in a sequence, to have an all rounded and extended yoga practice.

The poses I demonstrate here are:

Cat pose / Marjaryasana

Cow pose / Bitilasana

Downward facing dog pose / Adho mukha svanasana

High lunge

Mountain pose / Tadasana

Warrior I / Virabhadrasana I

Warrior II / Virabhdrasana II

Extended side angle pose / Utthita parsvakonasana

Triangle pose / Utthita trikonasana

Warrior III / Virabhadrasana III

Half lord of the fishes pose /Ardha Matsyendrasana



Yoga for legs

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

Yoga Class for Hips

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!
