Guerrila Video: Pigeon Prep Live Yoga Class Demo

12 Nov

I really am in the process of creating some extra bonus content for the yoga podcast! Little extra features here and there, maybe for the stuff that may not be too clear via audio.

This was my first attempt at a bit of video. What I did is what I usually do when I record the audio for my yoga classes. I placed the camera and simply proceeded to teach. I don’t want my ‘live’ students to be interrupted in any way by the technology. Since I didn’t have much time to set up you can see that I place the camera a bit ‘off’ 😉 So this is a headless pigeon! 🙂

I’m sure it will get better.

I would love to know your thoughts! Up for sharing?

Video Supplement to Episode 31: Pincha Mayurasana Prep with Headstand Arms

21 Jan

A supplement Video to my yoga podcast, focusing on a variation of Pincha Mayurasana (feather of a peacock) with a different foundation-Head Stand arms.

It’s not the full pose, it’s simply the preparation for the pose so this is great for beginners 🙂

This specific pose is done in Episode 31 of Elsie’s Yoga Class Live and Unplugged Podcast.

I decided to release this on my feed given the fact that I don’t really have a chance to teach publicly (as of now 😦 )

Would love feedback!

Also….my Birthday is on February 6th, and in order to celebrate, I would love to get up to 50 reviews in iTunes! Please help! Currently I have 32, that’s only 18 more people! Let’s do it!
