I have always enjoyed classes taught by Esther.

"I have a lot more energy and feel happier overall, I’m more present and my sleep has improved. My core is noticeably much stronger, I’m not suffering from the cold as much and my digestive system has never been as good!" – Esther Ekhart

“Around us, life bursts forth with miracles – a glass of water, a ray of sunshine, a leaf, a caterpillar, a flower, laughter, raindrops… When we are tired and feel discouraged by life’s daily struggles, we may not notice these miracles, but they are always there.” - Thich Nhat Hanh (The Sun My Heart)

There is no turning back, you
know. Once the soul is awake,
and the voice of spirit beckons,
there is only one direction. Of
course, the route may look a
bit circuitous. Yes, it may
look as if you move every which
way but forwards until you see
the broader view, the one that
shows you with arms thrown
wide, embracing absolutely
everything, your stride
carrying you to the exact spot
on which you stand.

The path to truth moves through
some quite peculiar landscapes,
and there are times you'll swear
you're going nowhere.
But if you tried to iron out
the twists and turns and make it
all into a perfect, straight and
narrow walk to the finish line -
think how boring and predictable
that would be! Where you need
to be right now is here, just here,
precisely where you are.

Take a deeeeeeeep breath in.........ahhhhh

Conscious breathing is my anchor. It has helped me when dealing with confrontational people, blizzards, stressful situations and just regular daily life! The world would be a much happier and calmer place if everyone just learned to connect to their breath and not get caught up in the drama that surrounds them. It is not difficult to do. It simply requires commitment to your practice. ✨
