We are 5!

EkhartYoga celebrates its fifth birthday and offers a huge thank you to you all.

EkhartYoga team

The last few years have seen huge changes in Esther Ekhart and her husband Bas’s lives – not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people who are part of our EkhartYoga community. 

Esther first came up with the idea of offering online yoga in 2008 whilst out walking in the woods. She wanted to share her love of yoga with as many people as possible but was limited by the space in her Ireland-based studio.

Esther’s first YouTube video in 2008聽proved聽a huge success and the word spread quickly, with some of her聽classes gaining more than 6 million views. In 2012 EkhartYoga.com was born, offering longer classes, guided programs and in-depth articles.
