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

Feet Stretches: Supplement Video Podcast #1! Mar 11, 2007

Show notes

I 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!!!!!!
