Half Primary with Deepika Mehta 

We're so glad you enjoy the class! Deepika has a few other courses on Omstars.com, have you tried them? Dance of Prana is a favorite!

Yes kino

Absolutely, unless you start as a child, yoga will take weeks/months to get fully stretched out. Start with just a few times a week, and before you know it you are doing it every day!

🙏

Eelke Aptroot practice and dedication one day you will be same speed and flexible 🤗

Yes definitely the early parts of finishing sequence and some seated postures

You are quite welcome, and we are thankful to have you in our community.

Spend a few dollars a month and get a RU-vid subscription and you’ll never see an ad again. Be grateful as when i was younger NOTHING like this was FREE. We are blessed.

Download it dude 😎

Yes, Elena, that makes sense. It's always good to listen to your body to know when you're ready.

It is the half of the full primary. Is this normal that you break down the primary series in half? Or does this only happen with the first serie? I am a beginner and I want to understand should I begin with a full primary serie or half?

It’s half primary series. If you are a beginner I recommend do only sun salutations and maybe standing seqence :) slowly slowly you can make the progress to sitting sequence :) but the best you can do is find a good teacher :)

@@TheWziuum Thank you darling for the information and advise. Could you still be so kind to anwser why this is half? Is there a reason they break it into two? You can do that with al the series?

You can practice ashtanga in two ways. This is led class, and you can do mysore style and it means you practice the sequence on your own and teacher will give you one pose after another when your body is ready for it. It is the best way to lewej ashtanga in the traditonal way. Led class is for students who know this asanas and it’s be considered as more advanced. This half series is more beginner friendly. When you practice more advanced series you do all primary and add poses from second series when you are ready for it. When you can do half second you practice only second, all second and third etc. :)

@@TheWziuum God bless you for the information and explanation. So from what I understand you advise me to start with Mysore, get familiar with the style and asanas and then when I am ready I can do the Astanga led primary classes? Namaste

We are thrilled you enjoyed it!

We're really happy that you think so! She has other great classes on Omstars as well.

Hi, you can either still grab your big toes with your leg fold, focusing on good alignment and with time you will straighten your leg more and more. Or, what I like to do is also to use a strap! That way you can straighten your leg and keep a good upper body alignment as well! Hope it helps!

@@stedededex it does, thanks, and I assume the core muscles have to be tucked in ?

@@estertattoli9930 you need to activate mula and uddyana bandhas, with lower belly in but not contracting it. Not sure but this is how I do it. Hope it makes sense!
