Healthy lower back and flexible hamstrings

Jose, I'm so glad you've joined the Ekhart Yoga family! I absolutely loved this class. Your narration and instructions were perfect, and I felt very deeply relaxed and calm, but also that I was really worki in my hamstrings and lower back. I can't wait for more videos! Am hoping that you do one that works on the tension that builds up in the shoulders, neck and head.

Absolutely wonderful! I feel so relaxed after that. My hamstrings are very tight, so I need to practice relaxing them a lot more ;-) Fantastic soothing instruction. You have such a lovely calming voice! Thank you!

Jose`, this was a fabulous yin class. A definite do again . Also nice after 108 SS Program . Namaste _/\_

Welcome! Love the practice and really LOVED your voice!

Best Yin Yoga teacher I have experienced, thank you Jose. I loved the half shoelace variations you described...so glad you're here!

Very lovely class Jose - also looking forward to more classes! Blessings-

I loved this class, and agree with above comments, thank you Jose.

Welcome to EkhartYoga José! Your voice is so .... relaxing and calming! WoW! I loved how you explained how to adjust the props for different levels and necessities. Beautiful, calming and deep class: THANK YOU! Namaste, Francesca.

This was really wonderful class! The lenght of the poses is perfect, because you always need some time to adjust and get really into it and then relax deeply. Your calm talking through every pose and variation is great and doesn't disturb me, when i already find my pose. This was exactly what i needed and the combo of hamstrings and lower back is always good for me. Thank you very much! Namaste.

Thank you for this beautiful relaxing class, I loved it.

More please?

A nice yogasession. Your instructions are clear and your voice is calm - nice to listen to. The practice is also great to start the week with. Looking forward to other yogasessions with you. Thank you, José! <3

Awesome practice, José! Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom with us! I enjoyed this a great deal, especially doing Nadi Shodan at the beginning of the class was very juicy! I love your style! Looking forward to more classes with you!

Thank you for this beautiful yoga practise. I come back to it again and again.

Thank you, Jose, I hope you give more sessions.

Favorite class so far! Thanks so much.

Amazing class. Amazing teacher! Thank you :)

namaste!! Please, more of this relaxing classes! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this great yoga session. I really appreciate the way you teach.

Dear Jose, thank you for your wonderful Yin classes! They have saved my life!

Great it worked out Char!

Dear Char, I have send you an email, but I don't know if you have received it. Therefore I place my answer here as well. Great you benefitted from this class. There are many variations to do for saddle pose. If you want to try the initial pose, try placing a pillow under your hips and then go back into saddle this might diminish the pressure on the knees. Also separating the knees might help. If this doesn't help then you can do one legged version or against the wall. Place a pillow under you right knee and the instep of the right foot against the wall. Left leg is bend like in Dragon. Rest your hands on your left thigh or knee. I hope this helps. Let me know if not. Warmly, Jose

Thanks Elizabeth and Ann :)

Wow! Im am really touched thank you all for your support and motivating comments. I will gove personal comments back via email. Hope to see you all soon again. Namaste José

Namaste Jose, thank you so much for this class. It was concise, calming and packed with variations for people with different levels of flexibility. Your detailed instructions were very encouraging and helpful. I'm looking forward to more classes from you! Would like to find out though, in the seated forward bends, even though there were no sharp pain, I did feel sort of vibration from my hamstrings to my toes and they were tingling. I hope that's quite normal? Thank you again.

Loved this, thank you very much.

You have such a calming voice. Combined with this practice I felt myself able to release my back muscles which seem to be chronically switched on; even on holidays. Thank you for a healing practice.

Thank you so much for your comments Jose. They worked. I used the wall version just as you deescribed. Felt this on the outside of my left thigh. I did one legged version with a square bolster just above my lower back with the right leg bent for the other side. Felt it on thhe inside of the right bent leg. Thank you for being so precise and helpful. Namaste!

This was such a beautiful calming practice. I echo what others have said about the clariity of your isntructions annd all the options you gave us. I have a question for you. I cannot do saddle pose as I have sharp pain in my left knee. Is there an alternative that would give attention to the same muscles that does not involve bending the knees? I can do one legged saddle pose with the foot turned out. Namaste and deepest gratitude to you for sharing your gifts with us

Thank you José!

I also look forward to your classes because your voice helps me get centered . I live in New York city and this is a welcomed quality. This sequence was particularly helpful in opening up in different part of the lower body. I loved that the poses were long. Thank you Jose

thanx for a good session.

A well-balanced session. Liked the effect (on body and mind) of holding the breath in the pose and exhale to release and to let go. Will definitely do this more often, thank you José.

Thank you so much for this wonderful practice. It was perfect and we will definitely be revisiting it. x

Thank you
