Detox Yoga Video
Hi everyone,
I made a yoga video to help you detox. This sequence focusses on twists, since twists have a detoxing effect on your organs. Also it can be very helpfull if you suffer from wind, or bloatedness.
The poses I demonstrate here are:
half relieving wind pose / ardha pavana muktasana
relieving wind pose / pavanamuktasana or vatayanasana
half revolved belly pose / ardha jathara parivarttanasana
half lord of the fishes pose / ardha matsyendrasana
locust pose / salabhasana
child pose / balasana

Comment by Georgina Feb 28, 09, 5:14 pmI truly enjoy your clear and detailed videos. As a yoga novice (I have only been doing yoga for 1,5 years) these details really help improve my understanding of the poses and help me get in touch with my body. As an obese woman though I find quite a few poses out of my reach and they therefore do not give me the stretch and often there are no alternatives given (as there are no other big people in my class). I would love to learn how to adjust my practice to suit my bodytype.
Thanks, Georgina
Hi Georgina,
Comment by Esther Mar 09, 09, 9:15 amI’m glad you enjoy my video’s.
I will look into your question about adjustments for your body type. In the
mean time, try some stuff out yourself, be intuitive, be adventurous, and if
it feels good it usually is….Move a hand away further a little, or outside
a foot rather that inside, place your foot in a different alignment that you
teacher tells you, just to try it out, your alignment will be different from
the others sometimes. adjustments have been created by people trying it out
and deciding that that works better for them, by people like you who find
conventional doesn’t quite do it for them. Imagine you are the teacher and
you had to adjust yourself…..
Anyway, I’ve put it on my list of yoga video’s to make but my tips will never
be better that your own exploration and experience!
Be well,
Esther
I absolutely love your videos.. They help me so much with muscle tension and my asthma. I can’t thank you enough! And your voice is so calming and you explain how to do each pose clearly. Keep it up! Thanks again, Esther!

Comment by Rhonda Mar 24, 09, 5:07 amI am brand new to yoga and i have tried 3 of your beginner video’s. I need you to know your demeanor on video is very inviting i didnt feel inhibited at all, you clearly explain things and it is a joy to have discovered you. since i am new I was wondering are there any videos i could buy to have at home. This is a new time in my life and i am for the first time in a long time truely intrested in nurturing and taking good care of me. I have had 5 children and been as you can imagine buisy and have let me go, i realized after tring this with you how good i feel and that it is a gentle way to love myself and get on a healthy track. To really take care of me, I do want to incorperate other excersise later, for now i would love to really focus on this and make it a part of my daily schedule which is also a delema for me how do i get myself in the habit and when is the best time to do yoga? Thank you so much for sharing this and helping me discover a way to love myself.
Dear Rhonda,
Comment by Esther Apr 11, 09, 9:53 pmThank you for your kind message. I’m selling my dvd soon, its almost
finished, I’ll announce it on youtube when it is.
when you practice, mornings first thing is great, before breakfast. However,
any time you can fit it in is great! just remember to practice on an empty
stomach!
I’m glad you are starting to take care of you, keep it up, its the best
thing you can do, also for your children!
Be well,
Esther
Hello, Esther I just discover your video on youtube about one month ago but the same week I got very sick with a breathing problem call Voice Cord dysfunction but I will like to still do some yoga to try to get some of my energy back can you let me know which exercise I can do to improve my breathing and get back some of my energy back.
Thanks
Carmen

Comment by Esther May 07, 09, 8:29 amduring something like this I would suggest calm restorative poses, The menstruation sequence would actually be ok for that, since it is not too active, the detox can’t hurt either. Be good to yourself, do the relaxation and meditation. Some routines on my site which are good now as well, are yoga lying down, yoga sitting poses and after that the relaxation pose. The warming up sequence and wake up sequence are an idea too. When you begin to feel stronger, you can bring in the stronger practices again.
I’m sure you will feel well again soon,
Esther
I just found out about you & your videos seem fantastic. Could you tell me a video to get for osteoporosis?
Comment by Kathy Schneider Aug 10, 09, 11:22 pmHi Esther! I really like your videos, I’ve learned a lot. Thank you :-)
Comment by Kika Aug 11, 09, 3:33 pmI need to ask you a question. I just found out I’m pregnant. Can I still do detox yoga? Sun salutations? Can some of those exsercises hurt the baby? What do you recomend
Hi Esther,
Comment by Theng Tyng Feb 03, 10, 3:55 pmI found your web site a few days ago and I can’t wait to try out each and every one of them. I practiced yoga for around 1 year as my co-curricular activity (CCA) 4 years ago and stopped doing it after I got transferred to another school where there is no yoga for CCA. I missed yoga so much. I’m so glad I found your web site. You’re truly amazing that I wish I can attend your yoga class in person. I love all your videos, they are descriptive and simple to follow. I find it relaxing and calming just by watching your videos. Now that I find your web site, I can practice yoga again.
I have been suffering from skin disorder/allergies in my joints since a year ago. Are there any yoga poses to improve skin condition? Any suggestions/feedbacks will be appreciated.
Theng Tyng
Hi Theng,
Comment by Esther Feb 26, 10, 3:44 pmI think the most important thing for you is the relaxing aspect of the yoga, always do a relaxation at the end, and doing something that increases circulation. Besides that I would recommend seeing a qualified chinese doctor, for acupuncture and herbs. Hope this will help you!
Best wishes
Esther
Best to wait 3 months. Look at the yoga for pregnancy video’s. Find a pregnancy yoga teacher and go to a life class!
Comment by Esther Feb 26, 10, 4:18 pmHi Esther,
Comment by Theng Tyng Feb 27, 10, 8:00 amThanks for the valuable advice, I’ll add in the relaxation part at the end of every yoga session from now on.
My skin is now improving at an incredible speed since I turned into a vegetarian. I find killing cruel a long time ago but my parents won’t let me follow a vegetarian diet until recently my skin become more and more sensitive. Besides, I follow your yoga classes through the videos you post on here and it helps a great deal.
Many thanks to you Esther. You’re truly an inspiring teacher. I look forward to more of your yoga videos here.
