After a severe attack of back pain, the rehab medicine doc wrote me a number of medications that would have effectively ended my career if I started taking them. Luckily I went home from that appointment and found your videos on line and am glad to say that after 2 weeks of doing them, I have not needed any medication at all. Thank you very much.
thanks for these excersises your explanations are clam and clear. My lower back is not strong and i need to gradually build up strength so im glad there's excerises that start on a easy level. Could you upload a video to strengthen the lower back specifically?
Thank you so much for your videos Esther, they are great and incorporate the many different levels; you have adjustments available for the beginner on some of them for those who wish to try out the more difficult poses in yoga, which is great for me! As a beginner, I am finding yoga relaxing for my body and I am already enjoying it after just 10mins. Thank you so much again
I have been trying to get into yoga for years and experience "the flow," but have not been successful - until now! The was my first experience with "the flow." Thank you very much!
Dear and beautiful esther (whar a name; the same as Eckhart TOLLE :) this cant be a coincidence ! i am Dutch like you I live in paris and I do yoga for years and following quietly at home videos on youtube of great people. I just discovered yours and doing every day and night (and afternoon) a yoga sequence in this total heatwave :) It helps me focus I feel so good and I love your voice and the way you guide. THANK YOU DANKJEWEL MERCIIIIII
wonderful Esther , sinds ik vanuit Parijs jouw videos volg ben ik eindelijk 'thuisgekomen' en 'hoef' ik niet meer naar Yoga les met depressieve mensen :) Danjewel I LOVE IT! xxx
Hi, Thanks for most useful videos. Please can you tell me how many times does one do each of the exercise shown in this video including the last one. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your answer =) I was just asking because when we do abdominals in my aerobics class, our instructor always insists that we keep our lower back firmly flat on the floor so as to protect the spine. Some people seem to find it hard to keep the lower spine touching the floor all the time while doing abdominals. In my case, I find it harder when my legs are closer to the floor.
Hello :) I'm a big fan of yoga,so huge thanks for the videos!I wanted to ask you one question-when I started doing yoga,on my very first class,I burst out crying after the second sequence-is that normal?My teacher said that it's how my body is getting rid of stress.Is that true? -K
I love how you said "Don't be lazy"... it's funny but sometimes we make up our minds and exercise but only do it halfway...I don't know why, seen as if we're taking the time to do it we might as well do it right, but oh well... I'll try this vid, thanks Esther!
There can be a natural curve, but only if that feels ok to the lower back. If the abs are quite weak I would suggest keeping the lower back on the floor..
Because of leg injury not much on legs or walking...so now after 10 years weight on abs..I do yoga daily and just started your core tone to rest of yoga as no strain on back or neck...can you suggest other to tone waist area up
Hi Ester, I started yoga a few years back after i had n microdisectomy of the L4 and L5 disks. Had no formal training, but i downloaded your video's and it helped me tremendously. I heard on one of your video's that you was in South Africa and was wondering when you would come again? I'm in Cape Town...southern suberb and this side is very little yoga class and the one's that is here are not very eager to take me as a student when i tell them about my operation. I want to know from you what can i do to help myself improve? Thanks for taking the time to read my message. Regards Everyn
it underneath a pillow. I would also look at trying beginner's Pilates and using an exercise ball to help you. Beginner's usually do well using props or tools. You will achieve a lot more using props and when you have mastered sufficient core strength a sequence such as this will be a cinch. I'd give it 2.5 weeks (if you exercise your core daily) and you will be much stronger. Good luck! :)
Hi Esther, I wanted to know if you could modify this pose because I have a deep arch in my back and it is a bit uncomfortable to try and press my lower back to the ground due to the deep curve..If this cannot be modified is there any other things i could do for ab strength and toning?
I was wondering if there is a certain kind of yoga routine for nice glutes, abs and breasts coz I have been doing two different kinds of Yoga for begginer and one is for glutes from one of your videos
Karthick Myself do these daily!! I'm a long distance runner and I practice ab and core yoga along with butt muscle building yoga as many times per week as my schedule allows
hi Esther..I love this video of yours to strengthen my core ..but,I am fearful about doing the first posture of exhale legs up and inhale legs down ,as it hurts or strains the lower back ..I have heard about the same in videos of other instructors ..pls confirm on this .. note : I am a IT employee, who sits whole day and this may aggravate the strain on lower back.
The reason you have the deep arch and it's uncomfortable is because you have a weak core. Take it easy and slowly, building up each day. This sequence might be a bit advanced for you, so an exercise that physiotherapists recomend to clients in your position would be to lie on your back with your hands under the arch and press your back down onto your hands. Eventually you will be able to press your back into the floor without using your hands. Be careful not to strain your neck, perhaps propping
In addition to personally benefiting from what Esther teaches, I keep wondering how old she is, approximately, because I think she's probably older than she looks. My point is that Esther seems to be a living example of how yoga practice and fitness in general, if pursued diligently enough, can maintain an attractive shape, muscle tone and even beauty well beyond what would normally be the case.
For the people that love a good exercise.. Do this one, then the love handles one, then the strong arms upper body and then finish with the 20 minutes energizing set. :P
Maybe if you could snap your fingers and become slim will be better for you SUNYA CLARK, isn't? Yoga, especially which Ester teaching, is the best way to become powerful and conscious that you are from GOD and you can do everything you want in this life!

I'm studying the best yoga buttock exercises and found an awesome resource at Yanas Yoga Results (google it if you're interested)
Been doing this along with a few other videos of hers as my new fitness routine. I can really feel it working when I'm doing it all.
thanks you Esther, I'm a beginner and I do this twice a week
Dear Esther, I send you a kiss everytime the tutorial is finished and you say "namaste" :D thanks for being a wonderful teacher again
I've been enjoying your videos for many months. You do a wonderful job of explaining and demonstrating. Thank you so much!
thanks for these excersises your explanations are clam and clear. My lower back is not strong and i need to gradually build up strength so im glad there's excerises that start on a easy level. Could you upload a video to strengthen the lower back specifically?

Thank you for these gifts, your videos allow me to practice while my kids crawl all over me and welcome yoga into their young lives as a norm!
this is perfect ! not only for yoga but for martial arts. kicking could be quite a challenge if the core is not strong.
Favorite yoga core workout, you feel it instantly! Thanks :)

You make it look so simple! I feel my stomach is on fire even half way through... Thank you for the amazing videos..

Hi there! im just wondering what could be a good diet for getting the best results of doing yoga?

Perfect addition before your yoga class! Creating a new habit to do this to improve my core strength and yoga practice.
Nice video!
Another brilliant video :D
i do these exercises in the gym, great for building your abs! :)
many thanks Esther
Hi Esther! Love the video! I was just wondering tho how this can be differentiated with pilates? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks! :)

This one combined with the plank workout you did a couple videos back equals killer abs
Is stretching for 15 min a day 2 times a day enough to get flexible to do splits? Will it take maybe a month or longer?
VERY good! Tx. G
Thanks!! Work the core:)

How can I avoid lower back injury in the exercise at 1:00?

beautiful
Also good for us bodybuilders, just do this after your abs/core workout session.
My lower back is having a lot of pain while doing this 😣 can I take any support while doing this
I was wondering if there is a certain kind of yoga routine for nice glutes, abs and breasts coz I have been doing two different kinds of Yoga for begginer and one is for glutes from one of your videos
can I do these yoga practices on a daily basis...or do we need to give some rest ?
thank you _/\_ :)
Karthick Myself do these daily!! I'm a long distance runner and I practice ab and core yoga along with butt muscle building yoga as many times per week as my schedule allows

Esther I really love you ❤❤

Thank you for watching :-)
Thanks for the vid!! ;-) The lower back has to be all the time touching the floor, doesn't it??
Tough to keep shoulders and arms relaxed doing the side to side thing!
Hard but worth it got 6 pack within a week thx
What is the name of the pose at 5:23 with the legs stretched out and the torso reaching for the centre?
I can't do the first movement. It hurts my lower back
For the people that love a good exercise.. Do this one, then the love handles one, then the strong arms upper body and then finish with the 20 minutes energizing set. :P
Can someone over 19St do yoga effectively?????
I love you ester
