Thank you for this video Esther! I have been able to eliminate depression and anxiety medication by introducing yoga. My body feels so much more alive and active, it has really changed my life.

@shano0015 9 лет назад

Thank you for this practice and your kind words. As someone who has suffered from depression most of my life, I found you mentioning that there is no wrong answer for what we are feeling at this moment to be extremely supportive and uplifting. You are intuitive in so many ways; Many thanks.

Esther - I am a new Yoga Instructor and have only been practicing for 5 years. I feel blessed to bring Yoga to my small community in Central KS, but have missed participating. I have enjoyed your classes and they have brought me great comfort and left me feeling awesome. Namaste :)

Thank you for this video, Esther. Yoga is always my fail-safe way of reacting to my depression when it gets triggered. And it really helps me feel the joy in my life! I'm so glad you posted that book as well! It's so helpful for any habit or pattern you want to change, or enjoying life more fully in general. Jon Kabat-Zinn is amazing, he has some great talks that are posted on youtube.

As always, Esther, thank you. I live in a place where it rains a lot and I am affected by dark cloudy days, and I feel there is lots of blocked energy. This practice is excellent. I am glad I found this and will look forward to doing this on a regular basis.

@findingmyowntwofeet 12 лет назад

This is a very good sequence just to stretch out the back muscles after sitting writing by my desk all day, letting go of my work and just coming into the now and here. Thank you for sharing. I think I will let this be my afternoon/evening routine from now on. For when I am low on energy, and just need something to relax a bit and centre myself. :)

Hello Esther, you are wonderful and my favorite yoga instructor. Your voice relaxes me! Your yoga videos have helped me a lot. I was hoping you would make a video for work out recovery, you know, like stretching out soreness and calming the mind? :)

@MercySoulstress 12 лет назад

@innerauthority 11 лет назад

That's all you can do and it's amazing and certainly so much better than doing nothing at all! :)

@thepurplecrayon86 11 лет назад

You're fantastic as usual Esther. One major problem that people with depression have though is the feeling of not being able to get up so one improvement I can think of is maybe starting from lying or sitting and work up to standing? Just my experience. Thanks for another great video :)

@HenkvanDoorn 12 лет назад

Well timed Esther, with all this greyness around us today! Thanks! PS. can't find the mindfulness book title...

@pritipea 12 лет назад

Greetings Esther :) Where are you based now? You should post a video (When/If you have time!) about how you ventured into becoming a Yoga Teacher! I would love to know such info. Love your work, Keep spreading the Love, Light and Peace. Namaste!

@xvictoriaxrose 12 лет назад

This was great! I was wondering if you knew of any yoga moves to help with ITB issues or other knee problems? Thanks :]

@YogaMitLeslie 12 лет назад

lol I was just about to just watch because I feel really low but I go and get my mat out now :)

@GreysAruasi 12 лет назад

Great videos! I've been watching the one for studying for exams too and i do it when i'm really stressed, and it really helps me. Funny also, i recognize a Dutch accent, vert clearly :)

@irca27 12 лет назад

:-))) thanks for answering. i'm excited about your subscription site :-) can't wait for september 1st!

@irca27 12 лет назад

Thank you Esther! I have a question: would it be possible to say at the beginning of your great videos which props will be needed? then i wouldn't have to break the flow by searching for pillows :-))) that would be great! thank you :-)

@mistersirisaacnewton 11 лет назад

i suffer from binge eating and ultimately puts me in rather sad mood, yoga always helps me prevent myself from binging :0

@asunsol 11 лет назад

Hello Esther! is there any reason somebody who has a spinal disc herniaton should not do this exercise, or just by being careful could do it? thanks a lot for your videos!!!

@riinareismaa 12 лет назад

Maybe you could write the props needed in the description?

@schalmers1984 11 лет назад

Actually, there is really good evidence that exercise (I have no idea if there is evidence that yoga is especially effective) significantly reduces depression. That does not mean it is enough... people with debilitating depression usually need more. A good psychiatrist or therapist will tell you that in addition to medication and therapy, changes in lifestyle are important. However getting up and exercising if you're depressed can be really hard, so thank goodness other stuff is out there.

I keep hurting my neck in cobra, any advice welcome--

@Junichild 12 лет назад

My balance isn't good enough to do the pose at for instance 2:41 and my hips (??) are too inflexible to move my leg forward from downward dog pose, so this is too difficult. It would be helpful with suggestions for modifcations, thank you :-)

@margaretpokorny103 2 года назад

Do you have any DVDs available?

@jasxteo 8 лет назад

Hi I don't know why but there is no audio from this video. Other videos of yours are fine

@cynthiahern 12 лет назад

Ciao Valentina- non c'e nessun ordine prestabilito per fare pranayama, meditazione e asana. Infatti la maggior parte di quelli in Occidente che praticano yoga fanno solo asana. Non devi neanche necessariamente farli insieme; io di solito faccio meditazione separatamente dagli asana.

@avataylor8474 10 лет назад

there is a very good book, yoga for emotional health by #boforbes that fits nicely with this video. thank you for this. i believe yoga can be a great compliment to emotional healing.

@endlesswonder22 10 лет назад

Thanks for that tip, Ava. Checking it out and may buy it. Looks good.

@orfamayQ 11 лет назад

You have no idea what you're talking about. There are forms of depression that persist despite of years of therapy and medication, and practicing yoga and mindfulness and meditation every day is a wonderful way of improving life quality for those who cannot be cured otherwise.

@schalmers1984 11 лет назад

P.S. I think the evidence may actually indicate exercise is more consistently effective than medication... a lot of people don't respond to medication, and in studies the real antidepressants aren't always much more effective than placebos. I really need to practice what I preach... I don't get enough sleep, I eat crap, and I rarely exercise, so yeah, I know what I should do, but doesn't mean I do it. I take the meds and tx and not much else.

@song4mozart 12 лет назад

Esther, who is behind the camera? Is your husband always behind the camera or do you have others? Thank you! :)

@JanMejerRasmussen 10 лет назад

okey, maybee with ujjayi breath

@asunsol 11 лет назад

and also...instead of delivering all kinds of harmful medicines, they should first start with breathing/yoga exercises like these, much more effective without the side effects! I am not saying that somebody might in some cases need the antidepressants, I am not a doctor, but...I bet in many cases this would be more than enough, and I am talking by personal experience...
