Elsie’s Yoga Class — Alternative Health
Elsie’s Yoga Class

Inspiring, spicy, fun, joyful and uplifting live and unplugged yoga classes taught by Pittsburgh yoga teacher Elsie Escobar. Classes range from strong beginners to advanced. They are 1hr or 1hr and 15 min. Depending on the level and length of the individual class they may include all or some of the following: a theme, meditation, pranayama, warm ups, sun salutations, standing poses, arm balances, hip openers, thigh stretches, backbends, forward bends, cool down poses and relaxation. Remember, the class is live and Elsie is teaching to what she sees. It’s designed to include you into the class experience, to participate in deeper ways. This is not a “flow” or “power yoga” class. It includes power and flow, but more emphasis on alignment. You never know what’s coming but it always proves to be a blast! Strap on your seatbelts and go for the ride!
If you live in Pittsburgh or come for a visit Elsie is available for private instruction 🙂 www.elsiesyogakula.com eyogaclass@gmail.com

Ep. 62: 65 min Deep Meditative Relaxation- Yoga Nidra Yourself Out! Jan 25, 2008

Show notes

Wow! 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 :D

ALL 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

Yoga Nidra on Wikipidea

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:

Integrative Restoration: The ancient practice of yoga nidra, for easing stress, healing trauma, and awakening to your timeless Presence.

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,
