Love and hugs back Andrea! Silas I hope you will enjoy the class.. form now on every week a chakra class till they are all up there :-)

powerful, challenging and beautiful, so grateful, Namaste

That felt good. I am enjoying this series. The classes are gentler than I anticipated. The energy flow is powerful. My third chakra needs lots of attention at this moment in my life.

Great class! Thank you Esther :) x

Thank you for this class Esther! I have had this poem framed in my living room for a few years and now you have reminded me to hear it completely again. This class comes at a very important time for me and I will make it one of my favorites to repeat again and again!

This became my favorite class! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

esther, thank you for making me understand the importance of balance in the third chakra.

Just wonderful :)

Hi Esther I suffer with very bad IBS, anxiety, bloating, over-eating. I read an article this morning on Elephant Yoga about the navel chakra and how to balance it, and then found this class! Perfect! I will definitely repeat to see if I can bring some balance to my navel chakra. x

Thanks Esther, lovely class. I'm wondering ... if you feel one Chakra is particularly blocked or out of balance, would you keep doing the sequence daily over a period of time?

Wonderful class...thank you so much!

Esther, A full-hearted thank you for this moving class and spiritual nourishment. I am nursing all that I have gained from it.

This is very powerful. Thank you.

I am speechless. Thank you so much! Also for the poem. This class came 100% right-time right-place. Thank you!

Dear Esther, I enjoyed the enjoyed this class very much, even if I was practicing it in early morning (for me it's still more challeging this time of the day). I love the meaning of this chakra, I think is so important to accept the reality for what is it. Sometimes I think life is chellenging us with difficult situations and it's good to be "prepared" and in balance. The poem is such a bliss. Thank You for this time. Namaste, Francesca.

Very, very good class. Bravo. Especially the poem at the end. Perfect for a quiet Sunday afternoon.

A beautiful class, very powerful and rounded. Thank you

This class was very intense for me, but nice and I liked the intention to say consciuosly yes to life. Thank you!

Great! Thank you very much to all the people that are making possible to practice with you.

Thank you Esther for this wonderful class and the beautiful poem! Thank you for always preparing your classes in such a lovely, caring way! Love and hugs from Austria

Very beautiful and powerful class Esther. Yes!

Thank you so much! This was a great class!

Hi Esther; love this class and Oriah Mountain Dreamer! I have a friend who has an excessive amount of Manipura Energy...anger, chronic digestive issues...my question is: would practicing this class help to balance an excess of energy—Or is it best used to stimulate and bring more. Thank you as always for the amazing classes <3 Renée

Dear Esther, Thank you. Amazing. All my love, Christine PS The poem should be taught to every child on earth.

Amazing class. Thank you Esther!

Thank you Esther! I chose this practice to "bless" my new yoga mat...perfect ;) Namaste

Hi Esther I absolutely love the way you teach!

Beautiful and relaxing class... I really enjoy the chakra series, there's something special about how you sequenced this series and the focus of it... thank you very much, Esther!

This was wonderful. I am not a naturally back-bendy person so all the backbends were challenging for me. Of course that means I need to practice them more! Your inspirations during the class are always so encouraging and I loved the poem. Thank you!

Thank you for another wonderful class; I am really enjoying this series. I always appreciate the lessons learned and "permission" to find my own expression.

Oh, I'm so happy you've added another chakra class! It's my favourite program and my third chakra really needs the attention. Putting this on my list for tomorrow.

This is awesome. Beautiful poem! My favorite class by far. I am truly grateful for the positive impact you have made on my life, thanks Esther :)

That was challenging, hard - thank-you for acknowledging it! Thank-you for that most amazing poem - it is so wonderful, so powerful! Thanks for showing us how to accept hard and just be with it!

I am learning much from this series. I did the chakra series 2 yesterday and found the different way of breathing in and out challenging; today I am starting to see how breathing in from the heart and down to the root; and to exhale from the root to the heart strengthens all chakra's and especially the low back and female organs. I am in my 50's so this is of great importance. I appreciate the teachings about the charkra's and the poems - Simply lovely and very reflective!

Wonderful class! Thank you, Esther, for your understanding and softness.

Hi Everyone - Esther is away for a couple of weeks but I'll make sure she gets your comments, she'll be really happy to read them. I agree totally it is a great class and lovely poem! Best wishes Jenny

I have loved the series so far, however I am finding it very hard to load this one. Any advice?

This class was really good for me and in fact this whole series so far has been. I had a very scary experience at work recently and it has left me feeling anxious and disempowered and I could feel the energy change through this practice in my solar plexus area. I am so grateful for your classes. Thank you.

Lovely class and beautiful poem. Thank you!

With every class I'm stronger...inside and out! Thank you.

This class hit the spot. Nice concentration and flow. Thanks!

Yessss, I needed that. Namaste x

Thank you so much for this class! I feel so wonderful every time I do it.

Thank you for this wonderful class. I feel so balanced and strong.

I was resistant to doing this class today, but it’s exactly what I needed and I found myself enjoying it. Thank you!!

Beautiful challenge. thank you.

Hi Beefy, please check our FAQ section on 'I'm having problems viewing videos". If that does not help get back to us... I have sent you an email too! :)

esther, i began my yoga journey with you 5 years ago and you continue to encourage my love for the practice. i appreciate how present you are and the fullness you bring to each class. thank you!

I am so grateful for you Esther. Thank you!

wow, usually i don’t do this but i'd like to share my experience because this practice was one of those giving me a "breakthrough" in understanding my body. i often have much tension in this area and digestive problems. i’m aware of some issues underlying that but the practice helped me get behind it physically. trying to constantly breathe through this area and creating a lot of space space makes the postures more proud, more open, more confident and it releases a lot of the tension for me. and warrior felt new! i always wondered how to get more weight on the foot thats standing back in the warrior poses. somehow i couldn’t distribute the weight more equally and was trying various things mostly thinking about my core or the hips, or „upper body“ but now that i tried to deeply breathe into solar plexus i automatically shifted back with my weight. that was amazing. because i like the symbol it gives me. i wasn’t standing my ground, leaning forward too much in struggles. Thank you!

Wow that was a beautiful inspiring lesson. And the poem......so lovely!! Thank you so much!

Thank you Esther. It was a truly beautiful class and the poem at the end brought me to tears.

Beautiful class, and poem. loved it. Thank you, Namaste

Esther, I truly can’t express how much you’ve helped my journey into becoming a better version of me. This class was very emotional due to struggling with self identity and which has also caused my relationship to suffer. Taking the time to think about what I need and want has really helped me focus on what it is. Thank you for your endless help.

Beautiful thank you. Wonderful practice xx

This is my favorite class. The longer length and depth is exactly what I want. Would it be possible to make another class like this? I do this class regularly and I can really feel the benefits. It would be nice to have some variation with any additional classes on this topic. Thank you for leading this class Esther :)
