Grounding and Centering Yoga Practice

This was an amazingly relaxing and centering class for me..after a long stressfull time.. thank you..

Loved, loved this class. When focusing on and drawing to and from my center,. I experienced better balance, felt more stable as if I were planted into the earth and light at the same time. Really great, creative, helpful class. Love that image because it truly works. Thank you Esther.

Ha, that was a good "point" to concentrate. Some time ago I had problem with not feeling my legs and my therapist used different methods to help me feel the "ground". This exercise was very good in this aspect. It moved my centre of the body from chest and throat to a lower point. After this practise I feel that my lower part is heavier, stadier, grounded and upper one lighter and free. It was hard for me to concentrate but I see it worked. Thank you.

Finally, after one thousand million attempts in just as many yoga classes, at least, I managed to keep focus where I wanted, well, more or less :-) At the end I came to think of James Reeves´ class number 2 in the Kosha series. This class was good stuff, especially for someone who has a monkey mind like you wouldn't believe.... So, awareness, translated into Norwegian and back to English again, I might end up with the word attention, right or wrong? Being aware of myself, looking at myself from the outside, how literally do I interpret this? Am I looking, as in watching myself in a mirror, or am I being aware of how I feel, rather then what I look like? I tend to go for the latter option. I have heard all these words and phrases before and I have my interpretations of them, but I would like to hear you say something about it, if possible. Anyway, from being "all over the place" I now have a centre point, of sorts :-)

I enjoyed this class a lot. Focusing on this technique, the asanas fitted easier to my muscles, joints, facsia.... Less effort, same result. Feeling I did something good for my body, refreshed, happy, grounded, and no aching anywhere in my body ;) Thank you so much, Esther :)

Thank you Esther. Also, I am happy to learn Dutch as well as yoga.

Wow! This was such a fantastic class. Greatly enjoyed. Thank you so much Esther!

Lovely class and feeling very grounded. Thank you Esther xx

Lovely. thank you <3

This class was very grounding for me , thank you so much Esther

I love this class....thank you...

Belated comment I was more successful than I anticipated. Very nice, thank you.

Great grounding practice. Perfect antidote to sensory overload. I too found it nice to not look up today. Staying close to our center is a way to be more peaceful and feel connected to the earth.

Having somewhere to focus in this class was especially nice today! I found myself missing my friends and being able to look at myself from the outside was nice. Thank you.

Dear Esther, thank you for this calming, grounding class. Your instructions were amazing! Apart from the balancing poses I had my eyes closed the whole time.

What a wonderful class. So relaxing and grounding. I liked that you told us to not look up. It's so easy to just do every pose as you always do them without asking yourself what is right for today. And today was definitely a day for not looking up, but keeping in touch. I also really liked what you said about the earth and the sky, it really spoke to me about stability and freedom. Thank you Esther, I always enjoy your classes so much!

Wonderful practice! I loved the grounding and then the lightening and bringing them both together. Much love to you for this practice. I will definetly be repeating this one. Thank you Esther!

This practice brought me to another level of awareness. I'm so grateful, dear Esther! Thank you!

Yoga always seems to ground me but this class very much so- the focus made me feel steadier than I sometimes feel, less inclined to overstretch and more to stay connected to my whole body. Thank you Esther.

A very nice and grounding class, I didn't always understood how to look from the outside to myself. But it didn't mind me to feel relaxed and grounded throughout the class. Thanks again Esther! X

Indeed very grounding and centering, thank you so much! Namaste

Beautiful summer solstice 2018 practice ??☯️

Thank you Esther. This class was helpful today. I enjoyed this perspective after having done Anat's excellent heart opening class, a couple of days ago, where we did every movement from the heart space. I liked that you connected heart and naval centre during the sivasana. I think I will try the combo of Anat's class and this one again!

This was really a nice class. I feel totally grounded now. Thank you.xxx

You always help me to see clearly. Thank you

This was a special class. The beginning part, where we connected all our body parts to our center was very powerful for me. I really loved that feeling. In relaxation, I was able to feel "anchored" to the center of the earth as you suggested. Cool stuff. Looking forward to doing this practice again.

Such an amazing session. The points of focus really help my awareness. You are an amazing teacher, Esther!

Another excellent class - thank you for helping me stay grounded.

Thank you Esther, that was exactly what I needed tonight. The focus on the second chakra was super helpful to keep me grounded and centered. Namaste!

This was a really enjoyable class. I was so surprised at how connecting to our inner belly chakra was really effective at guiding my alignment & was also really relaxing. Thank you Esther!

Dear Esther, As others have stated it was beautiful. Your gentle reminding to come back to that place, to feel the breath at the ribs and see the self from the observer was perfectly timed. It seemed as soon as I lost focus you brought me back. The savasana was special. I could have spent the day there. Thank you and be good to yourself. Andy

This is my favourite class!! I have done it many times and it really halps me to ground and center myself. I used to be 'all over the place' and I often times felt that my whole being was somehow 'dispersed'. Now I really feel that I have roots and that I have a steady stance - a solid base. From there I can also experience the lightness which is there as well - to experience both makes me feel whole. Thank you so much Esther for this class and for having created this Website !

Dear Esther, This is my favorite class !!! I have done it several times and it really helps me to ground myself, to be more calm, centered and present. I used to be 'all all over place' and very easily felt somehow dispersed - not anymore thanks to you, Yoga and particular this class ! Thank you !!! Katja

Loved the different focus points. Lovely class, thank you :-)

I love this! thank you, was great to feel very different sensation in poses which I practice all the time-refreshing! will be adding this one to my favourites and come back to it again and again

It grounded me more than I thought I needed. I truly arrived at my inner home.

Wonderful one.. Thank you Esther

thank you for a wonderful class Ester. I feel wonderful, you showed me a glimpse of heaven! I didn't have any strong sensation in the dan tien area so found it difficult to connect to that region.

Thank you!! I feel like focusing on that point helped me keep a lot of integrity in my poses... also very grounding emotionally. It was hard for me to look at myself from outside, but when I did I felt a serious lightness and observational detachment from my sensations.... The savasana was complete magic, I was stewing in this beautifully freeing energy. So thank you again, Esther, namaste

Thanks a lot, Esther, you are a beautiful teacher. I feel me now so well, grounded and calm. ! :)

Thank you for a transformative centering class. I'm overflowing with gratefulness. This yoga experience is one I will come back to again and again. Beautiful and inspiring.

Thanks very much for this lovely grounding and centering class Esther :) I felt very relaxed, calm and rooted in myself after this practice. What a perfectly wonderful way to start this day! I always enjoy your classes and found this one extra special - learning how to look back at oneself is a challenge that I believe I have now managed to do with much more ease after today. Namaste.

Thank you, Esther. I really enjoyed this class today.

This practice was exactly what my body and mind craved today. I found the multi-focus points challenging but having three seemed to work really well for my typically racing mind! Even only being able to hold that outside perspective for the odd moment I felt more connected to myself and everything below and above - a really interesting approach and a class I will definitely be returning to, thanks Esther :)

Thank you Esther. I loved this grounding class and also made me so much more aware of my navel centre. I shall try to be more aware in my own practice from now on. Namaste

That was a lovely class, although the quality was quite laggy. May be my connection? I will try it again over the weekend and let you know. Thank you.

This was great Esther - physically I found it quite challenging.... mentally as well - but in a hugely beneficial way both!

Thank you Esther!! Just perfect for I needed!! Namaste

Wonderful class! Thank you Esther xx

Loved this class!

I have never enjoyed a class as much as I did this one. I have never committed to any sort of practice as long or as often as I do with the variety of yoga on offer here. I thank you for this. I feel stronger, yet more peaceful every day. Karen

I always go back to this class. It brings me back to my body, my home. Thank you.

Finally!!! The most perfect MORNING CLASS for my body. Thank you again Esther. I also do RADIO TAISO and Pilates every morning 6.00🇬🇷🇬🇷🌞🌞🌞🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
