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!

101 Tenacious Gratitude 90 Min Level 2 Yoga Class

November 24, 2013 20:47 - 1 hour - 51.2 MB

Leave me feedback! [email protected] or leave me a message on SpeakPipe Come see me at the New Media Expo in January!  Tenacious Gratitude Thoughts? I can tell you mine. Tenacious didn’t quite feel “right” with me. I felt that being tenacious was not something I aspired to be. It’s too rough. Too hard. Too pushy. Too manly. I imagined the quintessential football player, the one that just stampedes over the competition regardless of anything else, bulldozing through pain, throug...

Ep 100 From student to yoga teacher and yoga teacher training with Naime Jezzeny and daily ayurvedic practices and postpartum care with Cate Stillman

August 19, 2013 23:06 - 1 hour - 49.2 MB

It’s episode 100 of Elsie’s Yoga Class! This is not a yoga asana class today, but my goodness what we have is serious yoga study and conversation. This is super special because it’s the 100th episode and also my 6th year podcasting!!! In order to celebrate I gathered two of my most influential teachers and we have incredible conversations about yoga and life. The kinds of things that are shared are the best kind of yoga you can learn and be exposed to. Listening will undoubtedly take you...

Ep 99 37 min Level 1-2 Yoga Class Shine Within As You Shine Without

July 21, 2013 00:30 - 43 minutes - 21.3 MB

I just wrote a post called When The World Doesn’t See You As You See Yourself, which was the basis for this episode. The execution of embodiment, which to me = action is what I feel in my humble opinion is a giant factor in creating lasting embedded change in our lives and something that most of us lack. We think a ton and don’t actually do anything. I know that I stay a lot in my head. I have the knowledge. I know what needs to be done. I am fired up and completely in, and yet for a huge...

Ep 98 30 min Level 2 yoga class Brighten Your Inner Moxie

April 21, 2013 13:03 - 31 minutes - 29.4 MB

Oh what a story do I have to tell in this episode! At least you know what’s it’s going to be all about looking at the artwork for this post. That image was taken very soon after I walked through my door after I got held up. I found both of my girls immersed in watching My Neighbor Totoro one of our family’s favorites. Such dichotomy. You can of course listen to me tell the story of the whole event in the class. There is a 5 minute intro and then the class begins with me telling the story o...

Ep 97 45 min Level 2 Yoga Class Invest Deeply

November 24, 2012 04:49 - 51 minutes - 25 MB

When was the last time you invested in yourself? I’m not talking about buying something, whether it be a yoga class, a workshop or even a nice new outfit. I’m talking about taking some REAL time to be with yourself, to feel your body, to listen to what’s going on in your heart and in your head. When was the last time you did this right smack in the midst of holiday season? Particularly when you weren’t feeling your best….? Then this class is for you! Practice along and…. Reconnect with ...

Ep 96- 30 Min Intermediate Yoga Class For Quick Rejuvenation [Video]

July 10, 2012 18:27 - 35 minutes - 222 MB Video

Guess what I did??? Free Video Yoga Class is the House! This is my first full on video yoga class which includes my signature intro PLUS a cameo appearance of my girls Hunter and Mae! There is no theme. It's only 30 minutes. It's an intermediate level class, because I don't break things down to much and it keeps a pretty steady pace. I would LOVE your feedback on this format. I am still going to be publishing audio classes, so don't worry :) I may just sprinkle the video classes here ...

Ep 95 40 min Level 2-3 Yoga Class I'm Fine Thanks

June 13, 2012 04:38 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MB

How Are You…Really? How many times has someone asked you “how are you?” and you mindlessly say “I’m fine, thanks.” When you are not. When I say, you are not, I don’t mean that you just had someone you love die, or you just lost your home, or your job, or you just found our your beloved was cheating on you…I mean “you are not,” because you don’t actually know anymore. “I’m fine, thanks” is something we say countless times and most of those times, we don’t even think about it. Our mouths ...

Ep 94 60 min Level 1-2 Yoga for Focus and Concentration

April 21, 2012 22:36 - 1 hour - 32 MB

This yoga class is simple Nothing fancy. No crazy poses. In fact, there are very little poses. This is more of a practice of just doing THIS. One. Thing. It's more about dharana- one pointed concentration. It's about stopping doing all things at once (including quickly getting a yoga class in as part of your continued multitasking.) ;) Let me know what you think! This is a new format as the class was recorded at home, with no students, just you guys and me! Look below for the yoga cl...

Ep 93 A 25 Minute Breathing Practice

March 04, 2012 08:37 - 39 minutes - 18.3 MB

Discover The Eve Of Your Breath FINALLY!!! The more I live my life, the more I recognize that the most important aspect of the practice of yoga is the breath. Every key insight either about me, a specific pose, the way my body functions or even my relationships has come through a growth in the breath. I remember two distinct times while practicing backbends that they unfolded themselves to me when I FINALLY breathed optimally while working deeper into the postures. I also remember my fir...

Ep 92: Level 2 90 Minute Class, Home Equals Heart

November 15, 2011 05:59 - 1 hour - 42.3 MB

I've been at home A LOT lately. My body has gone through a pretty massive transformation since giving birth, as it should, since it facilitaded an entire new human being to come out! My goodness does that still keep me in awe. It floors me when I think of what this body is capable of. If something is magical, it's our bodies :) I'm also keenly aware that as magical and intuitive as it is it MUST be nurtured. I had my sacrum/si completely go out on me about 4 weeks postpartum. Thank God my...

Ep 91- 90 Min Level 2 Yoga Class, From The Darkness Blossom Into Light

August 06, 2011 21:01 - 1 hour - 43.2 MB

I know there are some of you still in the midst of Winter. Maybe your winter has been going on for so long you're not sure how to deal with it or if you can deal with it. Winter, or at least the qualities of winter, the darkness in particular, that darkness that forces you to remain inward, to cover yourself, and to slow down is great in little bits but when it's prolonged it can get challenging. Some of you may be physically going through Winter, the season, while some of you may be going...

Ep 90: Level 2 90 Minute Yoga Class Filling Your Gas Tank

May 16, 2011 16:13 - 1 hour - 40.8 MB

The theme for this class was inspired by one of my friends Hillary Rubin. She has this amazing post plus video, asking questions that needed to be asked at that moment....hmmmmm. Or at least I needed to ask these questions ;) It was all about RUNNING OUT OF GAS! Well, at least for me it was about running out of gas. It made me think about the various ways that we deal with running out of gas: We make sure to make time to consistently fill up the gas tank at a specific time of the week/mont...

Ep 89: 60+ Min Level 1-2 Prenatal Yoga Class, Creating Bountiful Meaningful Boundaries

Ep 88: 20 min Level 1-2 Yoga Class Love, Support And Reflect Goodness

February 16, 2011 21:32 - 27 minutes - 38.4 MB

Ep 87: 25 min Level 2-3 Yoga Class- Immunity as Receptive Strength

January 16, 2011 22:07 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MB

Hunter got sick and it totally made me think about immunity. I'm sure that those of you that read this blog and perhaps other content that is similar are aware that immunity is not just about bacteria and viruses being present in your body and all of a sudden you get sick. It's not just about the physical. It's all about the beautiful trifecta of mind, body and spirit. All of this affects the how your body reacts and doesn't react to pathogens that decide they want to wreck havok inside of y...

Ep 86: Meaning and Truth To Sustain, Level 2 90 min yoga class

January 01, 2011 23:48 - 1 hour - 43.2 MB

This episode was absolutely inspired by one of you. I was asked basically how to practice yoga daily. This is something that I think about every day, that I meditate on, and continue to refine. I'm not going to describe my own process but tell you what it boils down to, at least for me: Meaning and Truth. If you don’t first and foremost ask yourself who you want to be in the world, what has meaning, what has value to you, and continue to refine the answer and deepen the questions again an...

Kubera Mudra- The One To Harness Focus

December 22, 2010 14:00 - 3 minutes - 91.2 MB Video

The second mudra is called Kubera Mudra One of the hardest things to do once you have resolved to stick to a really meaningful promise to yourself, or you've committed to something really valuable to you is sticking to it. We always waver. No matter how strong your commitment. Kubera mudra is a physical expression of your deepest wish to stick to it. It’s very simple and this can be done so easily almost imperceptibly anywhere. It’s very cool :) Practicing Kubera Mudra The first thing y...

Ganesha Mudra- The One That Fires Up The Heart

December 20, 2010 17:00 - 3 minutes - 93.3 MB Video

Here is the first mudra that I’ll be sharing with you for grounding yourself attuning to your heart. I’ll first really quickly simply show the mudra itself and what to do. We are not going to practice them. If you do want to practice the mudra, check out the corresponding videos and audio only available for both of these mudras over at elsiesyogakula.com/holidaytoolbox. They will be available very soon.

Mudras For Grounding Through The Holidays

December 18, 2010 23:10 - 2 minutes - 78.1 MB Video

This video is part of a series of three videos which will offer two mudras as a way to ground yourself through the holidays, and are part of my Holiday Toolbox! If you are not interested in watching the video, simply read on, and you will get the same information  The tools that I offer focus a lot on the engagement of your whole self. The mudras are not so much about concentrating on one practice but on using all of your self, most importantly your senses, simply because some of us get st...

Ep: 85 Level 2 90 Minute Yoga Class Are You The Bully?

October 17, 2010 18:17 - 1 hour - 40.5 MB

Who Is The Bully? I've been doing a lot of meditation on worthlessness or the feeling of being unworthy. Often times this feeling arises from the way the world speaks to us, perhaps in the form of bullies around us, family members, peers, bosses, etc. but what has really become clear is that it's not the world that is the root of this feeling, but ourselves. The biggest bullies that we have in our world are not outside of ourselves but within ourselves. In this class I went back to one o...

Ep 83: 25 Minute Meditation- Finding Your Center In Difficult Situations

August 30, 2010 05:02 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

25 minute meditation. These past few months I nearly got overwhelmed by anxiety. This hasn't happened to me in a LONG time. I lost control of my rational thought process and simply dove into a feeling that was suffocating and terrifying. I can't say that I was in any way comfortable. The only thing that pulled me out of it was my toddler Hunter. She forced me to get out of myself and engage her. The moment that I disconnected from her off I went into a very uncomfortable sense of overwhel...

Ep 82: 90 Min Level 2 Yoga Class- Stay Open, Learn, Choose the Highest and Share

August 10, 2010 05:41 - 1 hour - 40.8 MB

An iPhone 4 Yoga Class For Your Enjoyment! And here I thought that I was going to get some time to be able to publish more episodes to you guys...in JULY. Not so much, but alas! Here’s a yoga class to start the month off right! This one is close to my heart. It’s focus is all about the way we are swayed and often times misguided by what we see and hear all around us, especially the media. It is a call to take responsibility for our choice making and the way we go about making choices. The ...

Ep 81: 85 min Level 2 Yoga Class- Immerse Your Value into The Heart and HOLD!

June 20, 2010 17:14 - 1 hour - 42 MB

A powerful Level 2 yoga class that builds lots of internal strength and stamina I know that if I asked you who or what you hold valuable and dear you could tell me without much thought. I'm sure that you've thought about how much your family, your homes, your friends, your culture, etc. means to you. I'm sure that now that I've brought your attention to this, you have a clear idea in your head and feel pretty strong about where you place your value. The thing is, that we think about this ...

EYK 5: Interview With Donna De Lory, Inspiring Yoga Books and West Africa

June 08, 2010 03:56 - 58 minutes - 53.3 MB

Ep. 80 : 90 min Level 2-3 Yoga Class- As The Precious Gift of Meaning

May 30, 2010 04:44 - 1 hour - 39.9 MB

This is a level 2-3 class :)  I had never viewed memory as something alive and tangible. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve ever thought about memories as ‘gifts.’ As I thought about this concept I realized that when I remember something from my childhood or come across a scent I hadn’t smelled in a long time, or find an article of clothing I haven't worn in a long time, it is like receiving a gift. Those memories are gifts I get to open every time I encounter them. They always serve to remind m...

Ep. 79: 90 min Level 2-3 Yoga Class- Nourish the Culture of Your Body

May 17, 2010 05:50 - 1 hour - 42.2 MB

  It’s when we are about to loose something that we hold dear that we choose to step in fully to do something about it. Why is that? Why must we wait until the situation is dire before choosing to fully engage in our lives, our relationships, our environment, our bodies, our hearts, etc?   Move back into the culture of your body, cultivate it and grow it.   This was the theme of this week’s episode. Inspired by a conversation from one of my favorite podcasts Speaking of Faith . It was r...

Ep. 78: 75 min Level 1.5 Yoga Class- Elements, A practice in Studentship (Adhikara)

April 02, 2010 03:59 - 1 hour - 38.9 MB

  Yoga Lesson: How do we tune into nature and allow it to deepen our life?   Every day I am brought to back to the application of yoga lessons in my life. Yoga or life as I choose to see it now, becomes a pulsating beneficent opportunity, a gift really, for me to become a better human being. This past week I was given the task of preparing one of my current students to step into an Anusara Immersion with my beloved teachers that has already started. She missed the first weekend, or half o...

Ep. 77: 85 min Level 2 Yoga Class - Infrastructure and Love Freely

February 18, 2010 05:22 - 1 hour - 48 MB

Upon learning about and delving into the earthquake in Haiti, and specifically the lack of infrastructure within the area where the earthquake hit, and the lack of foundation to receive help, it forced me to look at what was going on in my ‘home’, my heart, my surroundings so that I could help create clarity HERE and NOW. Why HERE and NOW? I donated money. In fact, how could you not? It was made so easy to give, so very easy to give. You saw how fast the human heart can open up and offer....

Ep. 76: 75 min Level 2 Yoga Class- Vasudeva as December Lights

December 31, 2009 02:14 - 1 hour - 39.8 MB

I have to be very honest, winter is very challenging for me. I do my best to see all the goodness, I really do, but when winter begins, man does it kick my spiritual booty! I don't often have time to sit and meditate on my themes for my classes. I'm working on being more efficient in my themeing and conveying more of the Anusara Principles of Alignment ™ and Philosophy more clearly, but as I'm sure some of you teachers know this requires work, time and study. The clearer and simpler a teac...

Ep. 75: 32 min Immune System Relaxation And Imagery- Keep the flu away!

December 16, 2009 18:24 - 38 minutes - 34.9 MB

Hello All! Here's a new one towards the end of the year! I know I know! It so has been forever. I will now officially stop apologizing. Here's all I have to say about my lack of posts...Hunter. If you don't know who that is..that's my 14 month old daughter. Anyway, This week's episode came about from a lot of your requests for some more meditation/relaxation type stuff. I decided to put this little imagery relaxation to strengthen the immune system as a little treat to get you through the...

EYK 3: Yoga App, Muscular Energy and The Best Yoga Mats

October 17, 2009 04:11 - 45 minutes - 20.8 MB

The voice mail that is played at the beginning of this episode is why I decided to do these episodes that I call Elsie's Yoga Kula. There is so much power to sharing your journey. This practice of yoga can take you to so many absolutely fabulous places, not only on the mat but off the mat. I know that my yoga practice opened up so much for me, in fact it was the catalyst for gigantic growth in my life, and I'm in no way talking about the poses. They are the icing on the cake :) They provided...

Ep. 74: 90 min Level 1 Yoga Class- Sankalpa

September 14, 2009 05:56 - 1 hour - 41.7 MB

Ready to delve into the depth of your Heart? Yikes! One of my all times favorite themes to teach is Sankalpa, or Intention. This isn't a general intention, or a teeny tiny intention but your heart's truest wish, your deepest heart's desire embedded in the richness of your Self. I know that when I was first offered the opportunity to meditate, truly ponder my sankalpa, it began to shift me very deeply. In fact it was the mere asking of 'what is my intention' that facilitated living a more fu...

Ep. 73: 75 Min Level 2 Yoga Class- Skillfully Attune to Know Deeper

August 09, 2009 02:32 - 1 hour - 40.4 MB

A Level 2 Yoga class!!!!! How Do We Truly Know Anything? Man am I always a mess! Believe me, I do try to be neat...and tidy...and organized...but somehow I always end up with fantastic chaos all around me ;) The worst part about this is that I was like this BEFORE I welcomed my beloved baby, so now with her in the picture my chaos(mess) has escalated to new heights. The good thing is that as the mess escalates my need to find clarity also grows and thus came the theme for this week's yoga...

EYK 2: Financial Anxiety Meditation and an Update

August 03, 2009 02:50 - 18 minutes - 8.57 MB

The Yoga of Everyday Life and Podcasting! I honestly have tried to post and episode for almost a month. Every day I think about it. Every day I decide THIS is the day to get it all done. Every day the day ends, I'm exhausted and focusing on editing, writing, encoding and uploading is the last thing that my brain is capable of doing :( 3 years ago I began to publish this podcast. 3 years ago Elsie's Yoga Class: Live and Unplugged Podcasts came to life! So much has changed, and so much has s...

Ep. 72: 1 hour Beginner Yoga Class- July 4th How Clear Is Your Heart To Reflect Freedom?

July 07, 2009 03:55 - 1 hour - 31.2 MB

This week's Yoga Class Online is a beginner yoga class Declare Your Freedom I had the opportunity to teach a yoga class at this year's Annual Mensa Gathering in Pittsburgh! It was quite an exciting experience. It's always such a treat to teach outside of the yoga studio, and it's also very exciting not knowing who is going to be showing up :) I was thrilled to see a pretty good outcome of between 20-25 people. The majority of them did not have yoga mats and quite a few of them weren't wearin...

Ep. 1: Elsie's Yoga Kula (The Beginning of Deepening Community)

Ep. 71: 75 min Level 1-2 Yoga Class- Agni in Body, Mind, and Breath

June 15, 2009 04:27 - 1 hour - 38.4 MB

The Power of Fire Hunter and I got the opportunity to see fire at it's most powerful, as it blazed across the street from our home. I was in awe of watching it burn. I had a visceral reaction to the flames, as I felt it's strength and felt it's power of destruction deep into my bones. As much as this fire was destroying the building across the street, I also new that it was transforming not only the building, but the entire neighborhood. In Ayurveda, fire or Agni, is incredibly important. ...

Ep. 70: 75 min Level 1-2 Yoga Class- Does Your Yoga Help You Be A Better Person?

June 01, 2009 17:26 - 1 hour - 34.1 MB

The Path of the Yogi Within Social Networks I’ve been on Twitter since the Spring of 2007, way before it became so CRAZY mainstream. When I first got on Twitter, there were only a handful of people that I had actually met face to face. In fact, the people on twitter that I interacted with were basically all from the podcasting/new media community and 90% of them where out of state or out of the country. There was not one person from my yoga community. That has now all changed. I would say...

Ep. 69: 70 min Level 1-2 Yoga Class- Take a Moment To Stay Steady

May 18, 2009 03:05 - 1 hour - 35.4 MB

Always doing SO many things at once. I know for myself it is very rare that I do just ONE thing at a time. Now being a Mom, it becomes even harder. The mind races from one place to the next, things become so cluttered and often times takes us away from our center. Practicing some asana and taking even just a few moments to pause quietly and feel can give us so much access to the vast wealth of steadiness that we all posses. When we see that steadiness, when we find the Center, we can make b...

Ep. 68: 75 min Level 1-2 Yoga Class- Align and Re-Align with Sensitivity

May 10, 2009 02:29 - 1 hour - 34.6 MB

Aligning and Re-Aligning My baby girl has recently started having solid food. She got constipated. One would imagine that the only thing that it would affect, would be her demeanor, as she was pretty uncomfortable. In fact, this constipation made other things come out of alignment. She was unable to process her food properly because nothing was really moving :( She threw up. A lot. This made me very worried, as she had never done that before! This is this week's yoga class theme. Listen to ...

Ep. 67: 75 Min Level 2 Yoga Class- Why Listen?

May 05, 2009 04:38 - 1 hour - 36.4 MB

I'm going to stop saying that I'm going to post more episodes more often. I absolutely don't know! Agh! Mind you, I'm now all set up technically, finally! I've been recording more consistently, so now it's just a about editing and posting :) I have recorded more than one class, and I'm refining my workflow so that I can TRULY post more episodes.
