    I love Esther. It's all about Yoga for her and not about being a pop star like with so many other yoga teachers. Great video

      I've been researching relieving back muscles pain naturally and discovered an awesome website at Fergs pain ease (google it if you're interested)

    I absolutely love this video. It really relaxes and calms me before bed. Usually when I go to sleep I lie there thinking about stressful things, but after this all I feel is happy and ready for a stress-free night.

    Good for you! Regular yoga practice and decompressing and destressing are great habits to get into, especially at your age. As you get older, you'll thank yourself for the early training you've done. It'll help you deal with tests, more schoolwork and other stressful situations and people. Keep up the very healthy work!

    Thank you Esther for these evening sequences, they're really wonderful and I really need to do somethings like that to focus in relaxation, and the body, it's so important... thank you very much Esther, you're a great and lovely teacher!

    Although I've never been able to commit to a daily bedtime yoga practice, this video is always there for me when I am so stressed or anxious (and holding it in tension in my body) that I don't even know where to begin to decompress. I am always remarkably centered, calm, and a at least a little bit better physically after doing this flow. I really appreciate that this sequence is so simple I can do it no matter how I'm feeling physically or mentally, yet it is profoundly powerful and helpful. Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how helpful it can be.

  • @tylertyler82
    @tylertyler82 Před 13 lety

    This is such a great exercise, it goes by so fast, before I know if I have done the whole exercise in 15 minutes. This is the true remedy for relaxation and sleep. Forget ambien and zoloft.

  • @Serialangel
    @Serialangel Před 11 lety

    I've worked 16 hour days for the last few days and I've been so exhausted and muscle weary, and doing this routine again has got me back in touch with my body. Thank you!

    i really love this yoga sequence and find it relaxing, but when I go to sleep after a yoga sequence I find myself having lots of repressed childhood trauma and memories being brought up in my dreams. I have PTSD and my therapist told me yoga is a way of releasing trauma in the body. Has anyone else had this experience?

  • @Ekhartyoga
    @Ekhartyoga  Před 11 lety +2

    I am so happy it helps you! Thanks for letting me know! I also mad another video before bed called "bedtime yoga" If you fill that in on my channel it should come up for you. Keep practicing...

  • @Ekhartyoga
    @Ekhartyoga  Před 15 lety

    If it is really painful and inflamed you might need to rest it for a while before you start stretching. So yeah, these video's will help you to maintain the flexibility, but again it might need rest first, that is a call you or a doctor need to make, its impossible for me to asses the situation from a distance.
    Hope this helps, and you can do sidekicks soon again without pain!!!

    • @Ekhartyoga
      @Ekhartyoga  Před 10 lety

      Hi Ilana, Search our channel for Yin Yoga and you'll find a short Yin class for the shoulders. Also if you go to our site ekhartyoga.com we have a great 64min class for shoulder release (subscription)

    • @ilanaaudetlevine646

    I love this video so much so I'm really annoyed that there's a disruptive advert plonked in 10 MINUTES AFTER THE VIDEO HAS STARTED. I ended up rushing out of my pose and needing to restart the vid as it wouldn't continue properly after the advert. Very frustrating, please fix if you can.
