I have been coming back to this practice for 5 years. I am convinced that including this practice 3-5 times a week is the reason I no longer have lower back pain, which plagued me for all of my life on and off. As a teacher, who spends hours every day bending over desks, children, and computers, this calming practice and gentle stretching is a gift.
I find she has the best yoga videos here on youtube, she brings the knowledge and information about the poses and also seems to have a warm and kind aura.
This is my first time practicing Yin with you, and I want to say thank you! I like your pacing, not too much dialog, and the delicious silence during the pose. Ill be back!
I needed a more restorative practice today and you have given me just that. I feel so relaxed and de-stressed now! Thank you for all of the videos you have been posting. I like to do different videos all the time to try to stay well rounded. Most of the time I do more Hatha yoga, but have recently started more Ashtanga to try to loose more weight. This is a great video to help balance out the fast pace and hard edges. Again, Thank you and Namaste!
Esther, I just want to thank you for posting this practice. It is giving me more years to comfortably ride my bike. I enjoy an annual 7-day 250 mile bike ride, and three years ago, started to have difficulty with my lower back. I began doing this practice 3-5 times a week (in the morning with coffee) and it works! I have not had any difficulty since. You are brilliant! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hello Esther, im 24 and I have been suffering for chronicle back pain the last 8 years, i have always been active since i was a little kid, and i remained active even though the pain wouldnt go away. With your amazing instruction and gentle voice i nailed this! :-) Beeing able to let go of the perfection and frustration was surprisingly easy with your guidance. Thanks alot, you made my day
I woke up this morning almost completely unable to walk. Slept a wrong way and there was a noticeable curve in my lumbar. After one session I feel so much better. Going to do another a little later today. Been using this video for multiple years now whenever I get a flare up. Thank you so much for this content. It really makes my life better.
I LOVE how she has a beginner on here. I'm as flexible as wood, so it's intimidating to see people fall easily into these poses. Plus many don't show how to pose as a beginner.
Hello Ekhart, thank you very much for this yoga video and all the other wonderful yoga videos that you have so graciously shared with us. You are truly a gracious woman to take the time to share your gift with all of us and it is certainly appreciated you have added a great quality to my life and I pray for you thank you so very much.
I've been doing this class for years and it's on my playlist of Favorite Yin Yoga Classes. I'm picky about yin teachers since I am one myself. Thanks Esther! 💜🙏💙
I've been watching your videos for the past 5 years Esther! I've had a break from yoga but am now slowly getting back into it and you are my favourite teacher out of all the new talent I'm seeing on TH-cam that never existed back in the day. Thank you for this class I really enjoyed it and my back feels great :) Love from Australia
Esther ,Your classes are my online favorites (for years) You are an excellent teacher and you have a lovely soothing voice-which many new teachers don't seem to get.Thank you for your online classes.
I like your voice, very peaceful. I am 52 years old and I am improving my stretching every day with your wonderful class. you are the best! Thank you very much. Greetings from Germany
Oh my goodness. I have fibromyalgia and connective tissue disease and yoga is one of the only exercises I can do. I have never tried yin yoga, so this was incredible for me. I feel like I just had a deep tissue massage! I was able to get further into poses than I have doing flow yoga that moves faster. This is going in my favorites to do again and again!
Absolutely agreed! I can't thank you enough for sharing your practices on TH-cam. This one in particular is a lifesaver at the end of days where I'm feeling overly anxious or unsettled. Thank you so much, Esther. I really appreciate these videos.
yin Yoga is my very favorite yoga and I was so surprised and happy to find this class. I had a doctor tell me that with dislocated disc disease I would always have back problems and there was nothing I could do about it. After many yin classes and working on spine poses, I have had no pain for 7 years! I know I will always be doing yoga and especially yin yoga. Thank you for a wonderful class! Blessings and namaste!
I discovered Yin Yoga about a year ago. It is an excellent practice, very simple but very difficult to do it, because brings on the surface all your character traits. If you are a pusher type, this Yoga will teach you how to respect your body. It is an excellent video Esther (and Karin). Your approach is very good and your teaching also. Thank you for taking the time and share with us your knowledge. Namaste!
I just want to thank you for starting me on the yoga path. This video has been instrumental in beginning my yoga practice. I know there is a very long journey ahead of me and I thank you for taking the time to reach out to me and the others who use your videos on a regular basis to expand their knowledge and understanding of yoga. So thank you.
I want to tell you something miss Esther. I love your accent! Along with your voice, it is really calming, relaxing and reassuring. At first I though you were from Iceland, because it is sooo similar to Björk's and to other Icelandic artists'. Keep up the good energy and namaste! :)
I've had friends say that when they're in need they turn to the bible and open it at random and find just the phrase or story they didn't know they were looking for. I always thought it was BS because I'm not a religious person. I've done a few yoga practices with Ester's youtube channel now and I've loved them. But today I felt kind of meh and I just wanted to lay down on my mat and relax. This was perfect. It was slow, gentle, and relaxing and I feel great! I definitely needed this. Thank you!
Thank you, Esther (and Karin) for this video! Just what I needed today. Esther, your voice is so calm and soothing. I find it so hard sometimes to just sit in a posture, to not push, to just be, this video was heaven sent. Thank you ever so much and Namaste!
George you are right.. it's hard for us over achievers. I have been uber flexible my entire life but now that I have arthritis I have to slow down and be mindful. This is a wonderful practice and I feel so grateful I discovered it this week and that I discovered Esther!! This might be a great New Year after all!!
This was exactly what I needed, on a physical and as well on an emotional and spiritual level. Being at home with a mild burnout (not the first one) and everything in my body hurting this is what I needed to hear: accept what is, go through it and don't force anything. I will try to keep this with me in everyday life. Thank you.
Hello Esther, I have adrenal fatigue, or chronic fatigue syndrome, I have found Yin Yoga to be very helpful....but I was wondering if down the road you might do a class for those of us who have these conditions to improve our quality of life. My acupuncturist was thrilled I was doing yin yoga, as it helps also. Look forward to more videos from you and your partners.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have had Scoliosis all my life. Wore a back brace for 5 1/2 years. I actually do this yen yoga every other day. I'll do an aerobic workout one day then watch your video. Simply love it !!!!!!
I would love a Yin Yoga for the hips video!! After doing this video I can imagine how great my hips would feel with a practice like this Thank you very much Esther!!
I loved this video! Really opened up my spine and allowed me to breathe so much easier as well as released some stores up emotions. I'll definitely be returning to it. Thank you so much for posting 🙏🏼💕
It really helped to open up the deepest parts of my mind and calm them. A lot of emotions were stuck in me for some time. For more than a week I had a terrible headache and now after this one and some other yoga practices pains are gone.. And I feel more free now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This was a great meditative sequence. I was able to feel points of tension softening and opening up with the time spent in each pose. This style of yoga is completely new to me, but I enjoyed it very much. Thanks.
I love this class. I have a messed up, painful neck and it always helps. I get something new everytime I listen. I love your peaceful voice. Thanks so much for this:)
Thank you for another great class Ester. I have subscribed to your website where there is a truly comprehensive library of programs for all levels. Following your programs really helps to keep me motivated.
one of the nicesest yoga that i ever had. Thank you for making it available for us! I feel so relaxed, like i puted down something :) thank u again, i will keep going on with this practice to see where it goes for me! namaste
I've had a sore stiff back every morning for weeks. I did this relaxing class before bed a couple of nights ago and it's better! Im now trying some of the short back classes for maintenance. Thank you.
This video was perfect. I've had terrible sciatica (is there any other kind?) the last few days, and now that the nerve pain is subsiding, I find that all my muscles are sore from being clenched continually. This practice felt amazing, better than a massage. You're a wonderful teacher and this is a beautiful way to do yoga. Thank you so much for posting it.
I have been coming back to this practice for 5 years. I am convinced that including this practice 3-5 times a week is the reason I no longer have lower back pain, which plagued me for all of my life on and off.

Thanks for being my companion on Xmas. I'm in recovery and this practice just helped me not drink for another day. Thank you Ester and Karen!
I still use this, and have been for years! Your voice is incredibly calming!
I swear this only felt like thirty minutes, even my toddler joined in. Definitely relaxed my mind, thanks! Namaste.
Yeah, I felt the same.. I didn't feel the time passing by. I was able to relax both body and mind.
I find she has the best yoga videos here on youtube, she brings the knowledge and information about the poses and also seems to have a warm and kind aura.
This is my first time practicing Yin with you, and I want to say thank you! I like your pacing, not too much dialog, and the delicious silence during the pose. Ill be back!

We are an aunt and a niece and we follow your lessons together once a week. It's great! Thank you. Daria and Maddalena.
Esther is an amazing no BS yoga instructor. I'm always watching you videos for my afternoon yoga sessions followed by a cup of tea.
I woke up this morning almost completely unable to walk. Slept a wrong way and there was a noticeable curve in my lumbar. After one session I feel so much better.

did your spine became more flexable?
@@hqcart1 not much, it still feels good though!

What a classic gem of a practice with our beloved Ester. My dream is to one day take a class in person with you.
Esther ,Your classes are my online favorites (for years) You are an excellent teacher and you have a lovely soothing voice-which many new teachers don't seem to get.Thank you for your online classes.
Yin yoga allows me to stop pushing through and let go of buzy-ness as a lifestyle. Thank you Esther and Namaskar.
I like your voice, very peaceful. I am 52 years old and I am improving my stretching every day with your wonderful class. you are the best! Thank you very much. Greetings from Germany
Lovely. Doing this is like saying "hello" to yourself.

You are still the best❤❤❤. Some more 50-70 minutes yin with Ester?
Thank you. I really love yin yoga. This video is a favorite. you are a great teacher. I enjoy working along with you in the morning
Thanks Esther and Karen! Really interesting to hold the postures for so long! Love the approach! Very Mindful.
Please, more yin yoga videos! I loved this one! It was so relaxing! I'm going to have such a great restful sleep tonight! Thank you!
a long yin yoga for the hips would be amazing, i second that thought! Thank you for your videos :)
I listen to a lot of yoga practice and am a teacher myself. Esther! I really love how you teach! Beautiful in Every Way! Many Thanks to You!
GREAT class and thank you for offering a forward and a side view to enhance participant understanding!

Aah I love yin yoga. So glad I could find a class online!
Truly refreshing, relaxing sequence - great for post covid recovery.

You're a great teacher, so clear. Really helped me relax.
your guiding words make all the difference, thank you
Thank you for the yin practice. I enjoyed your mindful guidance. Namaste.
Thanks for this side of Yoga. Yin is terrific,especially when you get older -- like me..
This was really relaxing and it did wonders for my stiff back. I'm going to try this again first thing in the morning, thanks!
I would love a Yin Yoga for the hips video!! After doing this video I can imagine how great my hips would feel with a practice like this
Thank you very much Esther!!
Thank you. This helps me recover from my hard-charging days on the rocky trails of the Blue Ridge. Namaste.
Since years this is my favourite Yin Yoga Video on youtube and it will be my favourite for ever. Thank you so much Esther. Much love from Germany :)

Thank you a million times.... Your videos have changed my life... looking forward to having more "classes" with you...

So good. You are a blessing Esther
Excellent, excellent & excellent!! Thank you and be blessed~
I needed some sun salutation before getting ready for this yin yoga.
It was very relaxing, I'll do this one again before sleeping.
Thank you.
Thank you Esther. This was great. I love the longer classes!
I really appreciate this practice. I’m working from home on a wooden stool and my back has been in so much pain. Thank you. I feel much better now.
Love this. Thank you Esther ❤
A test on my patience but loving it :). Thanks so much!
I absolutely love this Ekhart. You voice is soooo soothing. Loved it!!!!
