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 obvious [more...]ly 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

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 [more...]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 eyogaclass@gmail.com
