The drawstring and the zip-up

Thank you, Esther. I so enjoyed this class. I appreciate the drawstring and zipper cues. I can carry those with me as a reminder to strengthen my lower back which is so important for a person with osteoporosis.

I just completed this as my morning practice. Wonderfully expert instruction, thanks I feel great and can apply principals

Familiar poses, minor adjustments, major effects! Very interesting and useful!

I did not know, where this anger came from, coming up, during practicing some of the poses. there is a lot going on in this body area, and also in the energetic counterpart. definitely a class to repeat for me, thank you, dear Esther

Great practice Esther , it felt like a yoga Pilates fusion ?

Thanks -these tips help to concentrate the practice too

Thank you Esther, this was wonderful! Namaste

I love this & keep comign back to it. Last times I was wondering about mula bandha aka pelvic floor. Should I activate it as well?

Hi Esther, thank you for explaining and showing this so thoroughly. I think I worked too hard, subtlety may come later for me....;) What I do not understand is that in Yin Yoga you drop all of these principles and do "hang in the joints". I must admit that I really enjoyed Yin Yoga and did it a lot before I had a back injury a year ago. Now I don't dare do Yin anymore. But I wonder how the two principles go together, the yin and the "yang" way of yoga. ..

Dear Esther, does the drawstring and zip-up action also involve enganging mula bandha? Because it "automatically" happens when I do it ... Thank you so much for this.

Great practice, I really enjoyed this Esther; I found myself smiling working through this and good to take a slower pace and really appreciate the postures and great abs sequence!

Thank you, Esther, that was very powerful and effective. I feel great after this practice!

Hi Esther!! Finally made it to this class-amazing guidance :) After my classes here at EkhartYoga, I sit back in amazement at what I learn. So blown away-thank you very much. Very useful cues and instruction. I feel wonderful. All my love, Christine PS Hi fellow yogis, if you have the time, take Anat's class "Pick Both Sides" and pair it with this one :) amazing benefits and you really get what is being taught. Love to you all on this beautiful day.

Really good ester, I have a deep curve in my back which often pinches when doing back bends. I will do up my zip and tighten my corset from now on!

Wonderful, and so good to know this and apply it in my practice! Thank you Esther.xxx

Very nice, thank you. x

Great class just what I needed after bending and cutting back in the garden. Back feels really good now

Thank you ESther, great practice & good explanation for all the single details. Namaste

Beautiful class. Thank you, Esther! x

I learned a lot following precisely the wording from Esther, I feel wonderful. Thank you so much for this class, it's really a gift, Namaste, Martine

Thank you Esther for great practice and great tips. I found it challenging, especially fore arm plank pose. I could only do it on the right side! I will practice. Thanks for the useful tips.

Using the "Cues" does this enable the breath to be felt more in the chest/ribs?

I come back to the class every so often and I wonder if there are other cases that help in using the abdominals more instead engaging my psosas? I have come to realize that I have a very nasty habit (muscle memory if you will) of engaging my psosas instead of my abs and the psosas are always very tight! Thank you

Wonderful class! I feel strong in my core.
