  • www.ekhartyoga.com/ 60 minutes Yin Yoga for the Spine. This free online yoga class is a perfect and sometimes necessary complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. This yoga class loosens out any tension in the spine and will relax the mind as well.
    For more online yoga classes, yin yoga, hatha yoga, vinyasa, meditation and many other styles of yoga go to my website www.ekhartyoga.com/

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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!

    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!

    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! :)

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!
