Hi Esther, thanks for the videos. Although, this says beginners but you say some things like “find your length” or “extend your heart” without really explaining what any of this means. Care to shed some light?
“find your length” means to extend. so, usually this means to lengthen from your tailbone to the top of your head so your spine feels like it is reaching in opposite directions. by doing so while in these postures, you strengthen the muscles around your spinal column while they are in their lengthened state. this is how yoga can alleviate spinal compression issues and in some cases, can prevent or eliminate the need for chiropractic or surgical corrections.
“extend your heart” means to open your chest. a good way to approach this is to draw your shoulders down and back. reach your shoulder blades toward each other behind you while engaging your trapezius muscles (the ones under your armpits). this is how yoga can gradually correct upper body posture. by working these muscles on a regular basis, they are building to support your posture even while resting. be sure to protect your low back by engaging the low belly and tucking the tailbone.
i like the vids especially to see that your elbow and the elbow folding its different than the most people ( just like mine, and i can twist my elbow in funny way that people actually get scared and disgusted lol) i used to be quite flexible when i was young but changing country and eating habits leaded to having belly fat which most of the times is in the way of doing it properly. any advice how i can do it without having that difficulty? ive been trying to get rid of it but god its not easy :S
Hi, I’ve just completed my 10 series!!!! 🙂 feel so happy now that I have built up this by exercising during a week. THANKS! Hope there is more series like these to follow.
This is awesome! thanks! my backs been cracking a lot and i have no clue why. my guess is that i’m always hunched over doing my homework. but yeah i’m glad i found your channel because my back feels great, and yoga feels very therapeutic for my body. and my little sister is starting to do yoga with me too! 😀
I didn’t know I knew yoga… lol. I just called it streches. lol. I just subscribed. I want to see what else I already knew how to do. and maybe some stuff I didn’t. I have nerve damage to my hips both sets. I need to build strength in my spine without using my hips first. I really want to dance again.
It would be a shame for you not to build muscle when these other normal people accomplish it so easily with Morsch Muscle Madness (Look it up on google).
yes I agree cant even believe it. you can make your workout sessions much more productive if your eating the right foods to avoid fat and belly. btw!but ye One of my friend working in fitness field suggested me this 7 secret food items to kill our jelly belly. if you are serious go for it now bit.ly/14FEz9k?=tvtku
Are you fucking kidding me, beginner?

keep trying! if you believe you can, you will. 🙂
It would be a shame for you not to lose weight when other people melt fat so easily using Fat Blast Factor (search for it on google).
