[ArranLovesIphones]

Impossible

[ArranLovesIphones]

I tried this and suprizingly I could do it

[eswat888]

god~~~

[Deposetheboyking]

Just did this for the first time in class today. Never thought it was possible. Our instructor had us cross the ankles before lifting up. Next time I am warmed up, I would love to try your way. It does look harder though.

[RikkuBurnside]

Incredible!!! I haven't reached this yoga level yet, but I hope I will! :)

[jamiliyana]

Esther... what happened to the toe? +_-!!!

[TheSolarChild]

Only a professional can do this pose and explain it so well at the same time! Esther rocks:)

[jigmesam]

1:25 - trying to extend that leg a little bit *bone snap audible* "Okay..."

[purvisbread]

[anni17fan]

[franzie10]

well this looks comfortable. :/

[thehappyhippyo0]

holy kryptonite! i wish!

[Ashhad940]

Is your seelp good after all of this ? Thaaaaanx

[pinkxvenom]

Is that your home? If it is, it's so cool! :D

[FuzzyPurpleSocks]

Psssh I could do that.

[runner920]

Esther, this is very impressive. What preparatory poses to you suggest for someone who doesn't have this flexibility?

[ThirteenHealth]

You make it look so easy :D xoxo

[highflyer4]

OUCH@!@!

[tube4625]

the effect of all these hip opening poses is that i am beginning to walk funny; lol

[ap0calypse5]

I love the way you say your name ... <3 :D

Sorry, just had to say. It's one of the things I look forward to when I see a video.

[HCFMB]

Esther your hair color is stunning! + thank you for your always fab routines

[skyjockbill]

Oh, to be like you! It really makes me want to do more yoga - even though I am SO inflexible in yoga poses! I cannot even sit cross-legged, and never have been able to - even when I did karate 6 days a week and could do the splits!

[melzerr1]

I have a question re how do you manage to do these poses without hurting wrists? I find that even when I do chaturanga, my wrists get sore--I think that rather than putting weight onto my whole hand, I put the brunt of it onto the wrist area. Is there a way to make sure that my whole hand is bearing the weight and not just my wrist? Are there ways to strengthen this area? Thank you. Love your videos!! I learn so much from them!

[ExodusXstark]

I am jealous all i do so far is run a few km's and cheap little stretches before my run.

[enginekid88]

can disabled people missing an arm or hand do yoga?

[maggiemeepok]

Lovely! Thanks for showing this difficult pose.

[BravoMuchacho11]

Amazing,this is my yoga move of the week.

[punishshot]

Gave Me Best Pointer!

[watermelonygoodness]

Do you do other strength training or do you only do yoga?

[yogatic]

@watermelonygoodness Only yoga :-)



[walkertexasranger33]

@yogatic you're lean and fit but you need to do some powerful deadlifts, squats, and bench press of no less than 300 lbs. get jacked.

[ShakDaddy1000]

@walkertexasranger33 yoga strength is very important

[minxski]

I think I'm years off before I will be flexible to try that pose!

[firestar1728]

Maybe this time next year my hamstrings will have stretched out to comfortably begin attempting this pose Namaste:-)

[DidTheGameStart]

I lyke dat :3

[shanrocks777]

For anyone who took gynastics as a kid, remember when you'd have someone spot you for trying new moves? I think I'd need someone to spot me for this! It looks intimidating.

[yanathrae]

Oh my god you must be all elastic from the inside O_o

[unokilo321]

@yanathrae she has a G.I. Joe core, a hook with a rubber band connecting the limbs.

[mpgalindo]

Yay, that looks really hard to do... You are awesome Esther !!!! =D Namaste

[131chaze]

[Animia95]

[borricuachica]

Love this pose! Namaste.
