Handstand at the Wall 31 Weeks Pregnant

yogeek — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 01:53:02 GMT

I shot this while I was 31 Weeks pregnant with my daughter Hunter.
Inversions are not contraindicated in pregnancy, although, like anything in yoga, if you do practice any sort of yoga, make sure that you have a qualified teacher helping you out, or at the very least have been practicing inversions for quite a while.
My body felt great doing inversions, yours may not. Always listen to your own body, make sure you honor your baby

Knees in the Mirror

yogeek — Sat, 10 May 2008 20:12:48 GMT

Can we bring our knees to anatomical neutral? Can we in very simple ways begin ( for this is just the beginning), to engage in new ways to align our bodies. Using your muscles and making active choices with them can help stabilize and strengthen joints and connective tissue.

YoGeek Chill after a Setback

yogeek — Sat, 10 May 2008 19:50:23 GMT

So I had it all planned, I was going to get lots of footage for this show! Lots of it, thought it would be easy. Not so much :( I got a bit disappointed and quite defeated, but really that's what it's all about, allowing yourself to step in fully and whatever happens is part of your yoga. How do we then make the best choice, to the best of our ability. At this moment, I just needed to breathe and chill out, so here it is...5 min of movement a little bit of quiet time to pay attention to the basics and breathe. That is being yogic.

Salute the Sun Easily!

yogeek — Fri, 09 May 2008 21:07:36 GMT

A very short, friendly and down to earth quick tutorial for basic Sun Salutation. This tutorial was originally made for one of my online buddies, Nick Schmidt. He wanted to do yoga and I decided to make this quick tutorial. It was never meant to be a totally serious, hard core yoga teaching, as how much can you really teach in a virtual video private?

L Pose at the Wall With a Twist ;)

yogeek — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:31:31 GMT

This is a supplemental video to Episode 50: It's Hot! of Elsie's Yoga Class Live and Unplugged Podcast. A simple short demo of L Pose at the wall with a twist. Nothing fancy. It's really truly meant as a supplement so if you want to do the class and actually have this pose 'taught' listen and practice with Episode 50 at http://elsiesyogakula.com. Mind you I'm a latina woman, and well sometimes you just gotta go with what aligns you to your highest :) I'm not your classical yogini!
