Ashtanga Yoga is much more than just the series of poses you see on the mat, so we’re getting deep into the other parts of this practice that don’t always get talked about.
In this video, we discuss the lifestyle aspects of Ashtanga Yoga based on the tradition and on our own experiences. You’ll learn about the traditional practice schedule and the significance of moon days, as well as why the repetition and structure within Ashtanga is so important. You’ll understand how to find freedom within the discipline, what yoga is about beyond the asanas, and what kinds of changes start to happen over time when you commit to your practice. We also share suggestions for easing into this practice and finding balance while building up to establishing a daily habit.
WHAT SHOULD WE MAKE NEXT? 🎥

Guys, make more videos like this! It was such a great talk! 🙏

@yeager913 2 месяца назад

What a lovely talk. Thank you from England!

@meesh9141 7 часов назад

I love how you explained the vrittis!! This is why we do the opening prayer, right? - To bow down to Patanjali who explains in the Yog Sutras; yoga and sadhana/ our practice to find that ever- residing still component within. It’s such a joy to hear how you understand and live yogic lifestyle! More talks like this about your morning routine too! 🙏💐

@Christina_the_Astonishing 4 месяца назад

I love learning these details about ashtanga! I've been practicing every other day (or so!) but you have inspired me to go further and try six days! Dhanyavad! 🙏

@kpmaia6592 Год назад

As a person who is professionally outside of the yoga world, I would really love a talk like this coming from other people professionally outside of the yoga world! I think this would be a great place for it, since you probably have students (with 40h/week commitments) who could share their 6x/week practice with us. :)

@liberator2057 Год назад

Great video. It took me 5 years before I had a reliable 6 day a week practice.

@sixcups4895 Год назад

Such an inspiring description of why the consistency can bring peace and balance. Thank you so much I have been learning so much from your channel

@jessicamurphy3620 Год назад

The dogs, Mr. Khani and Goku, seem to be masters at holding the dogma lightly.😊🐭🐶 I want their serenity and their spiritual practice.😌 Can they teach me? 🙃

@durgaodissi7082 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for talks like this! Every time I watch your videos there is such a inspiration coming towards my practice. You both are really supportive for my practice! Many thanks from Brazil!

You guys should make a podcast 🙏🏻

@vialetta01 Год назад

Yes, this is the Yoga path.

@cyanemassue2540 Год назад

I loved your videos already and you guys already rocked but now that u rescued Goku...omg❤thank you so much for that. Its such a beautiful feeling to follow kindred souls. Signed an ashtanga enthousiast and mum of 5 rescues😊

@smitasathe3561 Год назад

Love Goku and that he just slept through that talk 😃 We have an indie too. They are super smart. And.. i love your videos 🙂

@sophiat9111 6 месяцев назад

@seanratten9567 9 месяцев назад

Just what I needed today😊.. Thankyou🙏💜

@fclss Год назад

Great and insightful talk! I would argue that there might more direct ways to observe one's own behavioral patterns or connect with inner stillness than taking up yogic gymnastics 6 days a week. That's just me though I know a lot of people feel it works for them.

@brettwarburton1428 7 месяцев назад

Wise advice.

@christine_Lii Год назад

This was so helpful to me. Thank you for being guides on my journey.

@annelachaux1165 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this talk. It provides me with a new perspective in my practice even though I am a regular practitioner. Love what you are doing 🙏❤️

@marylynnshoski3457 9 месяцев назад

I really look up to you guys and watch your youtube videos. I like to practice with the best! I really enjoy all your insight. Thank you 🙏❤️❤️ love the pups!

@annewhitmeyer1726 Год назад

Good thought for a daily practice with day of rest. Hmm. Thanks for sharing.

@angelawebb7676 8 месяцев назад

This was so helpful! I’m no where near my goal with ashtanga asana, but my real obstacle is inconsistency, and that’s is ALL due to mental fluctuations. I will continue to strive for consistency. That alone will help in so many other areas of my life too.

@David-hz1od 7 месяцев назад

Came across your channel recently and really love it. Thank You. Do you think you’ll ever organize your videos into playlists? I’d love to have them in sequential order to complete the order of the postures. Maybe this is covered in your online classes.

@karenhambleton8953 Год назад

I really appreciate your beautiful truth. Your words are powerful for life and the yoga Sanskrit word and their definition is so welcome because yoga instructors need to be reminded of this structure of this internal life so others being taught any type of yoga can be this example of the depth of truth. I enjoy your precision of explaining the asanas. Om Namo Bhagavata ❤

@joseph.r1122 4 месяца назад

Thank you David and Jelena. 🙏🏻 I recently purchased your 30 day Ashtanga for beginners program!

@anaguri5670 Месяц назад

I’m finding it quite hard to commit to my daily practice this summer, as I tend to socialise more in the evenings and struggle getting up at my usual time. I’m 25 so I don’t want to miss out on too much fun stuff but I also fee better when I have a daily practice! I live somewhere that is very quiet in the winter, so I tend to have a bit more discipline then. What to dooo

@lorithomasscott349 Год назад

Goku is a fabulous addition to the crew ❤

@nanghelina Год назад

Thanks David and jelena for this insightful post.

@cccherry05 Год назад

I want to get more into the dogma of the practice now as I struggle with consistency. It took me a while to realize the lack of consistency was about my mental state before getting on the mat and and would often stop mid way when my mind got busy with worry or if I broke concentration. So now Ive begun to implement some changes in my daily routine to make sure my mental state is calm for the yoga. Its amazing how much better a person ashtanga can drive you to be in all aspects of life.

@arielganenet6520 Год назад

It's so nice to listen you talk about yoga, i"m still struggling to commit to ashtanga, its such a dimmanding practice for me. Thank you, hope for more talks about yoga❤

@MarcusRockey Год назад

I found it very challenging to start with. A few years along and I'd be lost without Ashtanga. Try to stick with it. ❤

@mariasoledadmele1468 Год назад

I definitely love your videos. They are really helpfull. There`s not much explanation in my ashtanga yoga regular classes. You are both great professors, very generous in sharing your knowledge. Kisses from Argentina.

@alessiaperilli4244 Год назад

This was so inspiring. I am having a very hard time with the practice, in an unusual way though. I have two small children (3yo and 11mo) and I still (try to) practice 6 times a week, the problem is that no matter what time I wake up, they also wake up early enough to come and bother me and interrupt me. The result is that I get mad and sad and angry, and I feel like my days are ruined. I think this is a result of bad attachment to the practice...I hope I'll be able to take things in a lighter way 🙏 and get my space back some day soon 😅

@leasushi1968 Год назад

Welcome to Goku and love to Connie ❤❤. Thanks for all your videos 🙏🏼💚

@meowcat1111 Год назад

Hi Goku, thank you for the introduction. Please more chats, so helpful 🙏

@sabrinakrone7580 Год назад

Thank you!!!!! As I am practicing with one of your videos over and over again, you both are part of my nearly daily routine. And I love listening to you so much. Especially as there is no ashtanga teacher in my area (rural Germany). I am happy, i found you online. One good thing that came out of covid...😊

@justgobble4013 Год назад

Same here .I do practice one of their video almost daily . Lots of respect and love for both of you .

@Nae641 Год назад

Me too and in Germany!

@anitamattsen6842 Год назад

Hi David and Yelena, I truly enjoy your talks and tutorials. They have been very helpful for my practice! Could you please do a tutorial on Utthita Parsvakonasana? Thank you, love you guys, and welcome to the family Goku!

@hannahagg9672 Год назад

more like this!! or… more of you, both practice and talks!! i wonder, on sundays, should we rest from all practice?! or just yoga? happy moonday! 🌕

@astridryanotoole3800 7 месяцев назад

Thanks guys :) You both have been incredibly helpful for me cultivating and maintaining an asana and mindfullness practice! I've taken part in your ashtanga primary intensive in person and online and I can finally say I have found a home and sanctuary in my daily practice :') Would you have any advice for an ashtangi hoping to start teaching? Many thanks :)

@kristendawson273 Год назад

Thank you. Can you do a talk on vrittis? What are they? How do we know them? What are we supposed to do with them? What are they good for? 🙏

@AnastasTarpanov Год назад

@AmandaVandernoordaa 8 месяцев назад

Hi, is it possible you make a video to explain the names of the asanas . thank u . Looking forward to see you both in Mallorca in April !!

@nickveglia7990 Год назад

I can’t thank you both enough. I’ve been practicing yoga for a few years but just started considering focusing on ashtanga for awhile. I’m so drawn to the discipline and simplicity of the same poses each day for the spiritual focus it’ll offer. I feel like showing up on my mat each day trying to figure out what flow I need to come up with it tiring and takes away from what I currently am searching for within my practice. This video helped me so much. I am afraid of hurting myself. I’ve heard injuries happen a decent amount within ashtanga. I don’t have a teacher here where I live so I will be checking out your other alignment videos! Can I ask why you take full moon days off? I’m considering doing the same. I feel like that is so powerful! Is it part of ashtanga practice or a personal decision for both of you?

@milapopovich6819 Год назад

Inspiring & wise talk! 🙏🏻

@synaptic84 Год назад

thank you!

@loretomoraga6769 Год назад

How do you manage daily practice when you travel? I feel it is important to find your place and moment, but when you are at a hotel and have a busy schedule, it is difficult to organize. What advice can you give us?

@jitendrapurohit4227 Год назад

Its my request that you start a series of ashtanga yoga series upto 21 june that is international yoga day ❤🙏🙏👍

@ornagilchrist4282 Год назад

@biomarg Год назад

Thank you! You have become a big part of my Ashtanga practice. I'm wondering if you have any advice about approaching a Mysore room if one is not yet ready to commit to 5-6 days a week. Is it better to wait until one has built the stamina before joining?

@hairandknits4827 Год назад

Make such videos more....what do u think about ashtanga yoga and high vibration and paranormal...

@celielosada4738 Год назад

🌟🙏 Thank you So Much Yelena and David for this video 🪷 it brings a New understanding of ashtanga pratice 😊 Welcome to Goku it is so cute ❤ I have questions : Is it recommanded to had the pratice a moon salutation durin full and new moon ? And Does the moon salutation existe to balance a 6 days a week of sun salutations ? Thanks in advance for your answers 🙏 Take care, Love and Shine ❤

@stephaniegraham5271 Год назад

I find all your videos really helpful and this was an interesting talk. I go to an ashtanga class one evening a week and also try to practice every day but it’s often at different times of the day due to my work commitments, with longer practice times at the weekends. Do you think it makes a difference that the times in the day vary? I know the recommendation is that it’s first thing in the morning but that isn’t always possible for me. I’ve also been ill with a very bad cold recently and tried to practice though it but think I was making it worse. Do you stop if you are not well?

@juju0625 Год назад

Can you comment on how to stay safe and not get injured if you are practicing wo a teacher?

@ealesil9504 9 месяцев назад

@Caressa_with_an_E Год назад

Do you have suggestions for variations on downward dog for days where we might have sinus congestion or headaches? I'm coming back to the practice after being ill, but inversions cause too much pressure in my head and ears.

@Nae641 Год назад

Hi Kani and Goku!😊is it very important to start practicing early morning, my former Ashtanga Teacher pressed me slowly to come 6.30 and that is why I quit because I also had to drive there etc. and I thought due to chronic pain I can’t manag that longterm. Now I practice at home and I start when I want, but maybe that is a lazy mind?

@ingridlangovski8439 Год назад

Hi there! In the beginning (which I still I'm at 😅) I was only practicing midday and when I didn't have proper time I was just practicing a short practice, but with the time I started realizing that I wasn't really practicing the method but self indulgence... You know? It seems like I was making it hard to practice so I didn't have to face the postures, the fears, the discomforts that the practice bring along. And now, after a year and 3 months I'm only practicing early on the morning, but online. Because I don't live near the shaka as well, so one way I find easier to not "make myself fail" in the practice was to find teachers who attend online classes and I've got to say, my practice, habits, mind etc are at another level, so much better. Maybe you star putting once a week to go practice at the shala, may help you out 😊

@Nae641 Год назад

@@ingridlangovski8439 thank you, I agree. Now I haven’t a trainer near by either they closed. But online would be nice once a week. I see if I find something here Europe Time❤️

@username-bn8jm Год назад
