It is truly amazing how much more motivated I am to do a 75-minute practice than a 90-minute one (-: THANK YOU for allowing me to keep up my ashtanga practice. I have a toddler and a baby and we moved far away from my old yoga studio, so traditional mysore opportunities are harder to come by these days--I am so grateful for your excellent cues and your embodiment of all the virtues of the practice!

@flowwithali 5 месяцев назад

So grateful to have found your channel and this amazing full ashtanga class. Although I teach vinyasa, I am not able to practice ashtanga in studio. This is amazing. Will come back to this again and again!

@HarshiTaigor 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much ❤ for wonderful primary series. I regularly practice this series with you. Kindly please share intermediate series too 🙏

@michelewillingham9060 3 месяца назад

I had to modify at times but not that much which I was grateful for and the class was amazing. I am still learning to do the bow pose and need to do camel first before I can stretch up. Really active and challenging and the real Ashtanga. Thanks for sticking to the tradition which creates energy and peace. The cues really brought to light what to do that I never heard before especially on the twists. I can see that we progress with practice. Namaste.

Hi David and Jelena Thank you for your teaching Was just wondering what was the small chanting in sanskrit that David does after the opening chant? And what does is it’s meaning?:)

@ellenmccole4984 Год назад

Thank you SO much for posting this online. As a beginner, I am learning so much from your pointers and feel like I will continue to on my progression towards the harder poses and more frequent practice. This video has brought me so much joy and calmness and it is wonderful to know I am practicing with many others despite being in my living room. ✌🏻🌹

@Noa.Shakti Год назад

I heard this mantra first time, cen you type it ❤

@janbettens Год назад

Do you have a class with less experienced people

@bellazade8036 Год назад

One of the most longest, tiring, emotional and painful practices I’ve had in my entire life. And yet, one I will be the most grateful for. I have learned many lessons from this singular session, and I truly appreciate you both for doing what you do. Please never stop and continue touching the lives of others like how you have. Namaste. Sending you blessings

@hockeydogs2239 Год назад

Ashtanga is often called yoga therapy, yes it is hard and I use it as part of my shadow because it brings up trauma and fears.

@avivavyann5027 Год назад

Why do you force yourself into painful poses? I do not get that. Yoga is a pleasent walk not meant to hurt you.

@gustavoespinoza887 Год назад

i dont know if she meant as in emotionally painful, because personally it has been emotionally painful. instead of painful i would use challenging and or uncomfortable. the practice shouldn’t be painful but at one point it will be uncomfortable as are many events in our lives. i agree u shouldnt force yourself into poses but with continued and dedicated practice you might be able to do them one day.

@platonicpixie5697 Год назад

Omg…it’s 10 pm in Thailand right now and I want to be on the mat right after I saw the notification 😍😍😍thank you for sharing the practice…you two are my favorite people always xoxo ☮️

@Jilly_mr 5 месяцев назад

I don’t have an Ashtanga studio anywhere near me, which is so unfortunate. I practice at home now because the studios I have attended leave me wanting more. These videos are what opened my practice up to exactly what I was searching for physically AND mentally/spiritually. My dedication and discipline to my practice has been strengthened 10 fold. I practice 5-6 days a week and start my day with this practice. This yoga style has transformed my life, and I sincerely hope one day I will be able to make the journey to mysore. I am grateful for this video and hope to practice in person with Jelena and David! 🙏🏼💜✨Namaste ✨💜🙏🏼

Hi David and Jelena Thank you for your teaching Was just wondering what was the small chanting in sanskrit that David does after the opening chant? And what does is it’s meaning?:)

@amiraxperimentalx 8 месяцев назад

The opening mantra for ashtanga practice, VANDE GURŪṆĀM, and the closing one is Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu, closing mantra for the same practice.

@ElodieDanjoux 7 месяцев назад

Thanks@@amiraxperimentalx , :) but I was wondering about the chanting at around 1.38 minutes that David says really fast

@mzfrizzle1794 11 месяцев назад

This is great to see other students practicing! Through your videos, I’ve been practicing solo in my small town up to half primary over the last year. Yesterday I got to take a led class in a city of full primary! It used to seem so far off but it’s become accessible for me! Excited to add these new postures to my practice!

@VincenzoManna77 4 месяца назад

Too fast, no breathing, no use of gravity, no attention at all to the “flow” (breathe&movement)… Watch out! This is very very very bad yoga… Almost an insult… Look at the students: they can do all the sequence but they don’t have “powerful” or balanced bodies, at all… none of them… I strongly advice you against doing this... “thing”...

@situamy2937 Год назад

Such a good and satisfying practice! It was fantastic! Thank you so much for your hospitality, hope I can make it to your studio one day!

This feels twice as fast as your Purple Valley Primary. I have to stick to the India edition I think.

@harpreetmehra7195 8 месяцев назад

Amazing... I practised ashtanga 8 yrs back and lost touch as we changed surroundings and situations. This is the first time it reminded me of my practice and first time carried through than my previous futile trials of getting the vigor and motivation back. Thanks gurus, the way you explain and maintain the tempo.

@sarahlee7744 Год назад

Thank you so much for this led primary series! I have benefited so much from the many subtle cues on alignment and the pace is perfect, no faffing around with the count here! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙂

@Liza-ug8lv Год назад

Thanks David and Jelena😊 I am starting to practice this again, not everyday, but most of the days. It was bad and good experience: some days are Feeling great, but some are pain ; some are improving; others are not... I guess is the practice all about. Thanks so much for your leading practice. It becomes my daily ritual❤ namaste 🙏☘️

@lakjo8837 Год назад

I’m becoming better because of you, physically in asanas, emotionally and mentally too.

@andreadybvik Год назад

Thank you for guiding me through this primary series! I've been on and off from ashtanga a long time, practicing other styles when needed, but I always come back, and now I want to deep dive into it! So grateful I get to practice with you to get back into it physically, mentally and spiritually🤍

@sadlittlesinner 10 месяцев назад

How am I supposed to get better at poses? Up to min 40 I can do most of things (not all), but after that... my flexibility is not good enough. Should I work on my flexibility outside of this class?

@Yogawithvirat 8 месяцев назад

Counting isn’t enough longer that could take that 5 breathe because of that practitioner only focus on count during practice not much on breathing, why we take 5 breathe for hold or 5 count?

@mainurkaziz9523 Месяц назад

the best variation of yoga, ashtanga yoga is the biggest love. definitely my favourite training for soul and body. It gives so much power, calmness and happiness, it makes you stronger every day and deeply happy. I am so grateful to have such an amazing opportunity to know and pratice ashtanga.

@mjones1699 Год назад

wow no room for those who need variations, not recommended unless you're advanced even if you're familiar with this type of yoga, luckily I've watched other videos which explains alternatives for if you're still working on flexibility, but this one can be very discouraging if you haven't already come across this sort of yoga and would put me off attending classes in Ashtanga if I hadn't already done so. Should maybe state in the description that it's for advanced/intermediate and no encouragement with using props or support is given.

@priyagupta17042001 5 месяцев назад

What a lovely video- i am trying to complete in one-go. One day I think I will succeed! Thank you so much!

@viktoriaa5577 Год назад

Hello David and Jelena! I'm grateful for your time and desire to share your knowledge here. I feel so energized during the practice. but suddenly my lower back began to hurt unbearably so I could not continue the training at 50 minutes. and it still hurts a lot, it's hard to bend over... does it mean this practice is impossible for me? or should I continue it several times to loosen the pain and blockage in the lower back? Thanks a lot

@arushrestha1122 4 месяца назад

I loved the way you instruct saying the words during the poses. It is one of my best yoga practice but at the same time never felt enough to bring flexibility in to my body. I can't do all poses as they all are doing. Never enough practicing. Thank you ❤
