Thank you Elena, this class was exactly what I needed. I had a moment of such clarity in this class today that I've never experienced before. Thank you so much for helping to deliver that to me! xx

Thankyou Elena, it wouldnt be the same without your mindful and inspiring words..
Do you have any for the glands and/or lymph nodes on releasing toxicity? Namaste

Sweet Elena...I think this is my favourite practice.....could you make this a 60 or 75 class? Namaste!

Lovely,really enjoyed the information about each pose, look forward to making this weekly . Peace, Dar

After a busy and unbalanced, ungrounded feeling week. This was of course, just right. Thank you Elena. **Love**

This class has been my go to class lately to help build my immune system after having let myself get run down. Thank you for a wonderful class, Elena! The information you share with us during this class about the meridians and how we know if we are in balance or not is so helpful. It really is a great class to do on a regular basis to make sure that we keep these areas balanced! Namaste

This was one of the best classes I have taken so far. I loved the way you shared with us the benefit of each pose, the meridians, and how to notice balance and imbalance.

Beautiful & balanced...thank you Elena :)

Thank you Elena for a lovely, soothing practice. It's quite timely I came across your class. According to the allergist/immunologist (for some unknown medical reason) I have a very weak immune system that (may) benefit from monthly transfusions, which I'm not quite ready to submit to. I'm hoping that this yoga practice as often as possible (especially this particular class) will strengthen my immune system so I won't need the recommended medical treatment. I'm already feeling better as my digestive system was out of whack all day today...and I had a fever all week. My tummy is definitely in a happier place right now! :) Namaste!

My immune system was dropping down today, and felt that I was getting sick as winter arrives; this practice turned me to feel better. Thank you very much.

Thank you Elena, ending quote amazing,... Much I loved that needs now to be let go. Thank you for helping me find a way to do that.

Elena, I hope you'll see this post. I must admit this practise with you will always stay in my special heart drower therefore I sould only say thank you and thank G** 4 YogaGlo. Loved it so much <3

Simply beautiful, as always, Elena! Thank you so much :) An absolutely magical journey through the organs that I'll be returning to many times! xo

Great practice. I, like Jennifer, searched for the article.

Thank you so much for this wonderful practice! My son brought back sniffles from the daycare and this practice is what took me out of bed this morning. I knew this is what my body needed. I now feel energized, balanced and clean!

Amazing practice. The balancing of body and wonderful poem at the end. I was brought to tears in savasana because it so related to what I am going through in my life right now. Love, Live and Let Go.

Thank you Elena! And thank you for the poem (which I searched for if anyone else is curious: "In Blackwater Woods" by Mary Oliver). Beautiful.

Love all the great information that you share in this class, Elena! Thank you!

Wow! Felt like I was coming down with something, now my organs are charged to defend. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much! Been feeling ill and low. What a release. I'm so grateful for this healing. Thank you!

This was perfect. My digestive system was feeling off this morning, but this made it feel so much better. Thank you!

Thanks for a great class Elena! Really enjoyed all the info that you shared. Adding this to my favorites. Thanks!

Elena, Thank you for such a powerful practice. I've been searching for a copy of Lori's article. Can you please point me in a direction to find it? Thanks! Jennifer

soothing anusara ! feeling the balance already ,thank you, Elena!

So so nourishing. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this! Thanks.

Question for you: are there real benefits to using my inversion table. It's right there and I never get on it... Should I and for how long? Thanks <3

Elana, I enjoy every practice with you. I was so fortunate to take a class from you a SF Yoga Journal and you are as amazing in person as you are on screen. Thank you!

Sadie

Such a wonderful healing practice. Thank you.

Thanks Elena for sharing this powerful practice with us. Very moving. I would love to read Lori's FitYoga article but can't find it online. Can you possibly direct me to the right place? I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful practice, indeed. Thank you, Elena.

This practice helped me so much, thank you!

Simply lovely. I was feeling a little out of my body and now I feel more connected. Loved the explanations and felt my body opening up. Om shanti.

Thank you for this practice. What a blessing!

Elaine talks about a book - I would love to know what book it is... Anyone know? I appreciate the help very much.

You identified the exact problems I was having. Now I feel so much more grounded and know where to work! Thank you so much for this video.

So beautifull...Thank you Elena.

Lovely class. I felt ill today morning, now I'm complete focused and centered again. Namste

hola bella - this sequence/practice is absolutely brilliant- still trying to get the article from lori ( rita does not have it)- feeling so close - xom jane

Let it go, let it go. the poem brought tears to my eyes. Thank you! I am loving your classes! And not a surprise the poet is Mary Oliver. Somehow, her poetry has always felt very connected to my yoga practice.

excellent, quiet but grounding

This practice certainly clears and enlivens! My body feels more cohesive. Thank you.

thank you very much! loved it!!!

Sending so much gratitude your way Elena :)
This class brought the sweetest release
The tears kept flowing in savasana
And the emotional blockages lifted
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Namaste

Elena...LOVED this class...It was just what I needed today...thank you for your practice!! Sharon

That was AMAZING! just recovering from a cold, while breastfeeding, needing balance on this cold winters day in Sydney, many thanks and blessings Elena for this offering.

Just did this on a boiling hot night in Abu Dhabi as I am battling a sore throat, bought on I am sure by near-constant but necessary exposure to air conditioning. Lovely lovely. Thank you.

amazing practice, pertinent as my immune system has been shot down by Sydney's cold winter day. amazing poem also. thanks Elena!

Thank you. What a beautiful beautiful practice. We are so lucky to be able to have access to these practices in our own homes!

That was such a delicious practice, I can feel a change in my belly. Thank you. The closing poem was beautiful.

lovely class...

thanx, Elena

@Mindy and everyone, so glad this felt good... thank you... @Angela, "In Blackwater Woods" by Mary Oliver can be read here in its entirety.. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/70062

thank you thank you that was just what my body needed

that was delicious better than the hagandaz I ate last night - ha - perfect way to move the meridians...i feel connected again........loved that poem too at the end.....thank you!

Thank you. I loved the ending prayer. Can you share the source of it?

So sweet and educational! Many blessings Elena!

Absolutely beautiful. You moved me to tears. Just the inspiration I needed in a time of high anxiety to nourish myself and let things go that prove toxic. Thank you.

So beautiful. I feel clean and renewed. I especially love the poem and would like to know where to find it. I wish I lived near you to come to one of your classes in person. You should come to Santa Cruz and lead a workshop.

Thank you Elena I love your calm poetic style. I feel a renewed sense of peace. Victoria

Thank you Elena. I feel so at home and happy in my body after this practice. I love the clarity and beauty that you bring to your teaching.

I was brought to tears. Thank you. just what my spirit was asking me for.

elena-do you have any other book recommendations, specifically regarding the meridians, their connection with asana, etc? thanks thanks thanks. this practice has been serving me so, so well.

Hilarious. As usual I've begun with Eastern Body, Western Mind, and am now backtracking to the workbook and to Wheels of Life. Thanks SO much for your time and thoughtfulness, Diana.

Morning Elena, thanks for your comments. I base my Yoga for Mindful Eating series on Anodea Judith's work! If you want deeper explanation, more the psychology of the chakras, she has a text called Eastern Body Western Mind. I began my work with her Chakra Balancing workbook - easier to digest, and am moving into this deeper explanation.

Much love on your journey within!
Diana

Diana,
I'm just beginning to study the Chakras in earnest this year. I've been studying Anodea Judith's books and using her mapwork as part of my meditations, which has been helpful in ways I'd never imagined. I think in about a year or two, once I really understand the connections and functions of each Chakra, I could speak on this a bit more educatedly...

Until then, thank you for sharing what you know. Much love.

great purifying sequnce.

Love it~

Elena, what are your thoughts of translating the meridian/asana connections to the chakras? In my Yoga for Mindful Eating Part I series, we explore how the chakra energy processing centers result in our behaviors and especially those beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve us. This asana sequence seems to flow right along with the chakras.

So glad this one is resonating...

This class is one of the best ones I've ever taken. Thank you so, so much. Namaste.

Elena, your teachings are always profound. This class in particular is life changing, powerful & beautiful. I am excited to do it again... and again.
Mahalo :)

What a beautiful class! I loved it! Thank you.

What gifts this practice and the beautiful Mary Oliver poem are! I'm looking forward to use inspiration from this class with my own students. Thank you, Elena!

Very beautiful, thoughful practice! Thank you.

Beautiful practice, indeed! The InSight series was my first introduction to Yin Yoga, and I so appreciate seeing more of that being used here. Thank you!

lovely, grounding, healing practice...perfect at the end of a busy Monday thank you, namaste

wonderful <3 nameste

It is the second time I do this class in a few days, because the first time it made me so calm, so grounded and I felt so in harmony. The second time was no disappointment, thank you so much!

Thank you for all you do; GREAT stuff! and for that BEAUTIFUL poem!!

thank you thank you thank you! perfect

Huge thanks for this practice, Elena. A godsent/blessing after a tough day in a gloomy Paris.

Thank you, Elena. That was just what I needed!

Elena, You took me to a place that felt so enriching that it was hard to come back. Namaste...

elena-book recommendations to go along with this theme? thanks!

If speechless could be described without using a word, that quietness, would be the feeling opened through this class. Namaste

I've been sick all week, and this, Elena, was the best medicine I could ever have. Namaste.

aaaahhhhh Thank you, I feel better now :)

Thank you for another great class. Your classes are always so nourishing and uplifting.

What a beautiful practice. Thank you, Elena.

I love Mary Oliver! I always tear at her beautiful insights and always the tears cleanse. Thank you for this beautiful class !

Laurie

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Such insights I had in this practice. So many more healing aspects that I feel I can connect with now. Thank you so, so much for the balance and grace.

An amazing practice to feel your inner organs and self.... LOVEIT!!!!!

This is so amazing, I just studied with Sarah Powers at Kripalu, and she was extraordinary. Thank you for bringing this to the table.

Beautiful practice Elena. I jumped online tonight specifically looking for a 45 min nurturing class that would fill me from the inside out...and kaboom..here it is! Lots of love from Australia xo
