Yoga for when you are low on energy

What a wonderful class! I am having a bad cold, started the day with this and feel so much better now in my body. Thank you Esther.

That is great Azahara, exactly what this class is meant to do !

Thank you Julie, I am happy to hear that . Love Esther

Hi Camilla, I am very sorry to hear it was so tough for you. I am also very happy that you were able to do this class. Take it very easy, give yourself time, take some superfoods like goji berrys to build up your energy again and mostly lots of yin yoga and restorative as well! Wishing you all the best Camilla, things always change, so also this will pass.. Love, Esther

Thanks Esther! That was just perfect for post flu recovery xxx

Often come back to this class xx

yes, a beautiful class, peaceful, thank you

During the last few weeks this class and your somatics class have been big blessings for me, both have allowed me to stay with my practice even when I'm so so tired! Thank you Esther, much love x

Thank you, Esther, for this gentle. mindful practice. Helps keep things in perspective.

"...makes you feel lots better then watching tv" Brings it to the point! Practiced the lesson yesterday after a day of stress at work.Exactly what my body and especially my mind needed...

Really love this class. Great class when you are really tired but still need a stretch. Thank you, Esther!

Thank you for this wonderfully relaxing class, Esther. It is the only class I can face when I feel exhausted and it always makes me feel better afterwards.

Perfect for when you are recovering from the flu, as I am. Thanks, Esther.

Also a good class for a really hot day! Thanks a lot :-)

Started with a headache and ended without. It's hard for me to slow down, but this class was beautiful.

Fabulous!

thank you.. feel grounded now

Thanks - really great to have these sort of classes as well as the more active ones!

Lovely restorative class, thank you Esther :-) xx

What a beautiful class, thank you so much, Esther x

this is such a healing class, one of my absolute favourites! I come back to it often, kind of a saviour ;) thank you, dear Esther!

Today is almost one month after my big surgery, it took 10 hours and I have a big scar down the center of my body. The time before and after has been full of complication I lost lots of blood and have had so much pain and really been in "no mans land" were the time moves so slow you would not believe. I'm now out from the hospital since a few days, still with pain and so week, but today I put my Laptop on my bed and loged in to this Class, started to follow you and just crying for the first half because I could do it! All of a sudden I found my breathing, that has been so painful, it just worked again. Esther, thank you for your support. My best wishes for you and those that are your family. Camilla

Great class! I felt energised afterwards!

Thank you Esther this made me feel great. I was wondering though. When I go into a low lunge where I have to come up on my fingers (and other poses too) that putting my body weight down onto my fingers is quite painful and difficult. I don't have any problems with my fingers just when it comes to supporting myself during yoga. I am thinking that maybe I am getting it wrong and I am supposed to be holding my weight differently (more from the core maybe). :)

That was lovely, thank you!

Ah Esther this was just what I needed to arrive where I am. Thank you. 🙏🏼

Hmmmm, that was delicious once more. I now no longer feel drowsy-tired, but happy-satisfied-tired. Hmmm. Like honey. I love it. Thank you!

This was so refreshing :) I did it several times during the course of a cold and I found it to be very helpful. But I have a question about the hero pose. I've never been able to sit like that for long due to knee problems (the result of fallen arches that went uncorrected for a long time), but recently I've come across some controversy regarding this pose. I've read that this pose can be detrimental to the health of the knees, and also that others claim it as a key to maintaining healthy knees. So I was wondering what the Ekhart Yoga community has to say about this. Is there perhaps a technique for sitting in this pose properly, or common alignment issues that can cause it to be unhealthy?

"This shall too pass." Thank you Esther for this great class and for your kindness and wisdom.

? Thank you Esther. I feel much better ?

Thanks for this class! Exactly what was needing!

That was wonderful!

I have fibromyalgia and did far to much heavy, physical work yesterday - which I today have to "pay" for. My whole body is totally exhausted. I usually call these days "Fibro-days". This class was perfect for my Fibro-day. :). Thanks! <3

Also perfect when you´re tired inside out; both mentally and physically. Thank you, Esther!

I have been suffering with a sinus type cold. This was an ideal practice for today and will be going in to my favorites. I am also encouraging my husband who has metastatic prostate cancer to start some yoga and plan to introduce him with this video. You are an amazing resource Esther! Thanks so much for sharing yourself with us.

What a perfect class to release a ton of stress and anxiety! A month of stomach troubles and the worries of figuring out we needed to buy a new car and then the process of doing so had really gotten me so very stressed and tense all ever. I am now like melted butter:) Thank you for sharing such beauty with us Esther! I may have to get a proper membership now instead of the short videos on youtube. Namaste, Kelley

After the first month of grad school filled with presentations, exams, and multiple sicknesses I have been feeling so so tired. This felt so supportive and nurturing--thank you!

Thank you Esther for this wonderful class - it is like giving yourself a much needed hug.

Wonderful practice thank you. I am at home ill and low on energy and this practice allowed me to feel relaxed and calm.

Thank you so much. This one is going in my favourites. I felt so sluggish this morning, not just tired but also like I was wearing lead boots and carrying a heavy backpack. After this practise, I am still low on energy but not stuck; I can get on with my day slowly and gently. My hips and sacrum have a tendency to be a bit out of alignment, and when I placed a block there I heard a loud crunch and felt everything go back into place! An unexpected bonus for me.

Thank you Esther, this class is fantastic I was a bundle of stress coming from work, now I feel refreshed and relaxed, like a totally new person!

Hi Esther, I tried this today for something less vigorous and loved it. Also, I am using this site for the first time as a member along with the yoga tune up & refresh. I have been very stiff and sore after a six-week long road trip a few months ago -- yes, still -- and found the tune up to be more challenging than I thought it would be. So this was perfect. It is wonderful to be able to keep my yoga practice going at home and avoid the crowded yoga studio, especially this time of year. Sending you much gratitude for making this available to us. Namaste. _/\_

Very nice soothing practice. I'm home sick today and this was perfect...I snoozed away at the end.

Thank you thank you thank you - just came off a violent stomach flu and this calmed me - you are always “a special angel”???

Thank you for this kind and thoughtful practice and sage words. I really appreciated being reminded that all things come and go and that every situation will pass. Thank-you for reminding us that the mat is always our friend.

I am very grateful that I found this class this Morning, I needed these words, that everything is ok as it is....Thank you Esther

Your words are always a precious gift. Namaste.

you help me so much Esther, every day. Thank you! I have days where I´m totally exhausted and really have no energy. It hurts, this class help me to accept

Esther, thank you so very much for this class.....how it helps me through the tough days is so amazing :-)

Thank you Esther, wonderful class it was exactly what I needed today :)

Thank you, Esther, this was beautiful!

This is exactly what I needed today - I still feel tired but happy tired. Thanks for the reminder that this too shall pass.

Thank you very much for this practice. Just what I needed.

thank you for this class. I have been feeling horribly fatigued lately and have not been going to my yoga class because of it. Thanks for assuring me to keep practicing even when I am exhausted.

Ester, I have ms and suffer from fatigue. After a busy week and weekend I needed and wanted to do some yoga but nothing too strenuous-this class was perfect. Thank you. Namaste x

A wonderful class for removing work stress and tiredness. A reminder of what is really important. Thank you Esther.

Thank you, Esther! This was such a great way to be kind to my body before a long day at work.

Hi Esther, I have chronic fatigue and joint hypermobility and come back to this lovely class regularly when I can't face an energetic practice. I have two questions: 1) what other classes might you recommend for people with chronic fatigue ? 2) my SI joints are hypermobile, do you think the 'resting sacrum on a block' section is ok?..what is it meant to achieve and what could I do as an alternative or modification? Thanks in advance and namaste :-)

Thank you so much Esther. It's Thanksgiving in the States today and I was so tired from cooking and cleaning. Thankfully, I allowed myself the time to experience this beautiful class which was truly lovely and nurturing. I am very grateful for all your beautiful classes.

Perfect! I thought I was too exhausted even to think about yoga ...but now, I am new person. Thank you.

Wonderful - thank you.

Thank you. It was just was I needed today.

Lovely sequence. So relaxing - I wished it would go on. Thanks Esther.

Thank you. I'm recovering from a cold and this felt good.

thank you, I needed this today. Namaste.

Thank you for your beautiful teaching that helps me so much in every area of my life - even recovery from illness. You are very inspiring Esther! This class is absolutely lovely. Thank you xxx

This is a beautifully mindful practice, perfect for a lazy Sunday after a busy weekend. Thanks you Esther xx

What you say while you guide the movements is really helpful too. 'It shall pass' - I forget that sometimes. Thanks you Esther. x

As always another wonderful class. Thankyou

very relaxing class--thank you.

Thank you for this class
