- Sharing My Personal Prenatal Yoga Practice- 1 hour VIDEO!!!
(150mb)
Fri, 5 Sep 2008 15:54:00 GMT Author: eyogaclass@gmail.com
1 hour video or prenatal yoga practice sharing!
The majority of my pregnancy has not been about sharing too much. This is my first pregnancy so obviously everything was new to me. I felt a strong need to stay inside a bit more. I allowed my yoga podcast to take a bit of a back seat as my body, my heart, my mind slowly morphed into motherhood preparation :)
I think God did some great thinking having us HAVE to allow the baby to grow for 9 MONTHS!!! It's the beginning of patience I tell you. I cannot tell you how many times I just wanted her out! Not out of discomfort or pregnancy aches and pains, but simply because I just wanted to hold her already!!! Big lesson for me, big lesson.
I've gotten to a point where my pregnancy is a bigger part of my body. I had been blessed by having a pretty seamless pregnancy. She grew slowly. I haven't really gained that much weight. There have been changes, but as they happen so very slowly, I was able to align with the shifts and make choices that would support my weight gain. It's <strong>now</strong>, at the 8th month that I 'feel' absolutely PREGNANT :D I have to move slower, mind my steps, move around a lot more as being in one position for too long does not feel good, and I am getting all sort of achies and shifties all throughout my hips and belly. I particularly dislike getting in and out of cars. Oh lordy if the cars are short cars...Tough I tell you.
So, I share with you now, <strong>my</strong> prenatal yoga practice. I speak with you as if you were with me, telling you the why of what I do. It all happens organically. I did not plan on a specific practice. I just followed my own instincts, focusing on my baby girl and what feels good in my body. I am not in any way saying that all pregnant women should feel good doing what I do, or that THIS is the way to practice. I'm sharing to have you be with me and perhaps share some of my insights with you that I have learned :) I would love to start a conversation, both with pregnant yoginis, wanna be pregnant yoginis, or just plain 'ol yoginis that want to deepen their understanding of their female body (possibly even having gone through this already)
I had to compress the video A LOT, as it's a 1 hour video, please bear with the lack of resolution :( But, if you would like to receive this class in High Definition DVD, I would be happy to mail it out to you for a small donation of $5 + $1 shipping :D Come to my site for details www.elsiesyogakula.com - Episode 65: Align to Harmonize, Level 1 75 min Yoga Class (Yoga Mat Winner Announced) (40mb)

Not a class, simply a video catching my listeners up with what is going on with Elsie's Yoga Kula. And some pretty stupendous news!!! Hope you enjoy. I would love to hear from you guys! eyogaclass@gmail.com - Salute the Sun Easily-A short Beginner Video (89mb)
Fri, 14 Mar 2008 23:05:00 GMT Author: eyogaclass@gmail.com
Yeay! Salute the Sun Easily!Hmmmmm
Where has Elsie gone to you ask? Well, getting swallowed up by the Pittsburgh winter, if you must know :(
I have been unable to even have an opportunity to practice regularly let alone find somewhere to teach. It's been a very challenging for me now that I have a full time 9-5 job. I now spend all of that time infront of a computer! And it's been so cold and dreary that I have not wanted to step into anything other than my yummy home and sleep.
I have become a bear that happens to work on the internet for a living ;)
I will be back, fully at some point. I just cannot, in all honesty and integrity tell you when this will happen, and when I do I guarantee that it will be a much different Elsie! That's all I gotta say...
I created this video to a fellow internet buddy, Nick Schmidt. We met randomly through online community and he asked me to teach him a little bit of yoga, and I did...with this little video.
Simple, short and precise. A great way to get your yoga practice in even if you only have 5 minutes :) I usually add music and all that jazz, and I may in the future, but I just quickly edited this puppy and decided to publish. To get something out for y'all!!!
Would love to hear your feedback! I would love to hear from you guys all the way around. You guys have now become my only connection to the Kula. How very ironic that Elsie's Yoga Kula is now fueled by you guys. I love it! This is what it's all about!
Please leave me a review in iTunes! or tell a friend about this podcast :D

Happy Valentine's Day!!!I keep telling you guys this, but I'm still not teaching publicly, so I cannot post any new yoga classes for you guys :( But I do have one that I just found!!! I just have to take more pics for it, as there are some things that are new, and may be a bit confusing ;) but fun, fun, fun!
I hope to get an actual class up next week! Yipee!!!
So, my way of kinda dealing with this issue is providing you all with some of my prior content on the feed so that those of you who are subscribed can get these videos delivered right to your computer!
I do hope that you enjoy these!
You can listen to it's birth ;) in Episode 33. Enjoy!

Of course reviews on iTunes are so greatly appreciated - Episode 62: Yoga Nidra Yourself Out! 65 min Deep Meditative Relaxation (39mb)
Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:00:00 GMT Author: eyogaclass@gmail.comWow! a 65 minute Yogic Sleep, of course relaxation. Yoga Nidra coming your way!
I had such a great time recording this Yoga Nidra! Experience deep yogic sleep. It's a great practice for unwinding and truly diving into the depth of unconsciousness. So fun :DALL MUSIC IN THE PODCAST BY VIC HENNEGAN
intro song: Movin' from the Pure Creative Spirit CD
yoga nidra music: Gaya from the Desert God CD
I'm not a yoga nidra expert by any means. I had a experience during a Yoga Therapist teacher training to study with Richard Miller and experienced such bliss!
I bought his yoga nidra tapes and practiced it at home that way.
In case you are interested here are some more sources of Yoga Nidra studies and basic information:
http://www.swamij.com/yoga-nidra.htm The Yoga Nidra CD that I have
Totally dug Anandmurti Gurumaa's beautiful voice in this CD. If I were to buy another Yoga Nidra CD I would get this one: http://www.yogawonders.com/
this site has a great introduction to yoga nidra narrated by Anandmurti Gurumaa, so worth it.Plus she's got a great website herself: Anandmurti Gurumaa
With a fantastic Charity for girls...Shakti :)Richard Miller and his website Non-Dual.Com
These are a couple of Richard Miller's books:
Yoga Nidra: The Meditative Heart of Yoga
Rod Stryker : and his CD Relax Into Greatness
I based my yoga nidra on his CD. His stuff is also great.All right,
So my birthday is coming up! Some of you have asked to give me something, as a thank you, and what I ask of you is to leave me a review in iTunes. I'd love to see if I can get 50 reviews by my birthday!
also,

Sat, 5 May 2007 22:56:00 GMT Author: eyogaclass@gmail.com"without courage we can never attain to true simplicity, cowardice keeps us double minded, hesitating between the world and God. In this hesitation there is no true faith. Faith remains an opinion. This hesitation is a death of hope. We never let go of those visible supports which we well know must one day surely fail us, and this hesitation makes true prayer impossible. It never quite dares to ask for anything, or if it asks it is so uncertain of being heard, that in the very act of asking it surreptitiously seeks by human prudence to construct a make shift answer.
What is the use of praying if at the very moment of prayer we have so little confidence in God that we are busy planning our own kind of answer to our prayer?"

(this is the song that I spoke about and played at the beginning of class) - Feet Stretches: Supplement Video Podcast #1! (38mb)
Sun, 11 Mar 2007 02:17:00 GMT Author: eyogaclass@gmail.comI have ventured in unchartered waters and I'm thrilled!!!!
So this is my 1st attempt at playing with video. Bad video quality (HD Camara on it's way), iffy editing, but hey, I did it all myself! Yeay for iMovie. I kid you not, it's a fantastic little program for newbies like me ;)
Anyway, so the stuff that's in the podcast is some feedback that I sent to a fellow podcaster that I admire very much, Father Roderick of the Daily Breakfast, for he just started his own first video podcast called Healthy Catholic, and it inspired me to get my behind going on this stuff. I sent this info to him 'cause he's been getting back into running, so this little video is just a couple of ways that you can stretch out tired feet :)
Please let me know what you think!!!!!!

Vic Hennegan Workshop - Episode 28: Authentic Love, Level 1 75 min yoga class at the Center for Yoga (39mb)
Mon, 19 Feb 2007 07:32:00 GMT Author: eyogaclass@gmail.comAuthentic love is not a vague sentiment or a blind passion. It is an inner attitude that involves the whole human being. It is looking at others not to use them but to serve them. It is the ability to rejoice with those who are rejoicing and to suffer with those that are suffering. It is sharing what one possesses so that no one may continue to be deprived of what he needs. Love, in a word, is the gift of self.
