One of my regrets was starting my yoga practice when I was 33. I always ask myself why didn't I start my practice earlier. Then I realize, there isn't a right or wrong time to start.
+Angeline Ng You are young. I am glad you have found yoga and i hope you practise it consistently every single day of your life... Donot compare yourself to some other external coordinates, you,i and everyone are a masterpiece of his creation. Always, the compareision has to be in relation to yourself.....Always....I wish the shimmering light within you guides you to higher consciousness, Angie. :) Namaste from india.
this makes me feel better about starting yoga at 31. I'm always concerned that I'll never get any advanced poses down. but this guy started at 38 and his discipline has paid off. such an inspiration!
so beautiful I even cry of how emotional I got, it's so true one abuses our physical bodies so much and like me I'm crying for help and do this. I feel so much in peace when I stretch and 'try' to do yoga, going vegan was a huge change for me 3 years ago and now I really want to learn this practice.
+My Own BS As the others said, jump in and watch the changes happen for yourself. Yoga is about (always) moving towards to the pose, not the arrival. The road is the goal... Sending you good energy.
When i see people doing the things he does, i used to think that they were born in a yogamat haha this is very inspiring.. Just practice is the best advice..thanks so much.. Love and Light
My Dear Alexandros, many many greetings from Nepal. So happy to see all the practice of yours that brought you to the point of no more effort...Nothing can be experienced as pure Love if you do not carry the LOVE. In respect from afar...
As I am getting older, turning 25 next month, I can say I have became further influenced getting into yoga because while still young, I must take care of my body, and this is a great and powerful inspiration to go far, and thank you for the video 💙 Namaste 🙏🏻💙
for me this man is a true yogi, not that occidental kind who got a TCC after one year of practice. He's a constant learner and his humility forces silence. I watched (and listen !) this one a huge bunch of times, it always anchors my practice into an honnest way i lose while surfing on IG yoga. Thank you for the lesson.
I started doing yoga I want to say 3 years ago, off and on (now I'm doing it more frequently). I have seen significant changes in my body! I am more flexible, strong, and I can't wait to get to this level!
I love that you stated that have no interest in teaching and focus purely on the practice. It is all about the practice. Nice to see another kindred spirit out there. :)
I, too, wish I’d discovered this beautiful practice sooner. If I didn’t have a busy professional life and young kids I would do this practice every day. Ashtanga has taken me by surprise and I’m elated to be on this journey.🙏🏼
@Barry Mycoqinue i did yoga following this book Richard Hittleman's Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan, and i did felt peaceful , and what more important is I had some physical illness i had for 10 years just vanished in less than 2 months
This is very inspiring to a 20 year old who used to follow rodney yee's yoga videos when I was younger and then got out of the habit for about 10 years. I'm just re-starting and my dream is to teach yoga someday. If someone almost twice my age can do this so can I! Even if I feel like I've fallen behind!
+Laruga Yoga, you and Alexandros are both incredible. Videos like these remind me constantly why I come to my mat day in, day out. The Ashtanga yoga method is outstanding and by far my favourite practice. I couldn't get over how amazing my first chin stand felt. From there on my yoga journey changed forever.
#AlessandroSigismondi Such a beautiful video. I don't know why but it made me very emotional. Just practice. Nothing else matters. :) Thankyou for sharing this with the world.
What a beautiful yogi you are!! Just practice. . you are right. I can feel your inspiration. Thank you for sharing your practice. I want to be a yogi like you someday!!
Very inspiring video, and encouraging to hear you came to yoga with no physical background and not at a really young age. Were you naturally quite flexible though?
Αλέξανδρε σε ευχαριστώ... ήσουν η αιτία να ξαναρχίσω την γιογκα μετά απο τρία χρόνια... (που ποτέ δεν κατάλαβα γιατί την σταμάτησα)... Να ξέρεις ότι κάποιος στην Κρήτη θα σου είναι πάντα ευγνώμων
Hugely inspirational! I agree, sometimes we just know yoga is the right thing to do. Also, it’s when we surrender to the breath that we really progress
This is inspirational. Something that I need right now in my life. May I ask. As you have transitioned to your better self, have you given up pleasures in life? Such as drinking and smoking? What about meat? I would like to understand that have you achieved this purely with practice or have you had a strict diet? Also, do you do other exercise to keep you body toned? Thanks
+Stefano Sesta credo che faccia solo yoga. non siamo la stessa persona comunque. Io faccio yoga ma non sono al suo livello nelle asana, me la cavo meglio come fotografo e videomaker :-)
beautiful! thank you so much for sharing! humbling, inspiring, just magnificant, about the teaching and practicing of yoga and about you yourself alessandro and your experience of yoga and life. so profound and beautiful. wish I had the decipline to practice so deep. thank you for sharing. namaste :)
Bravo Alessandro! come, grazie ad una forte determinazione, si possa superare limiti che sono più imposti che non di nascita o naturali. Anche come registra sei molto bravo, un buon occhio che si è certamente sviluppato insieme alla tua consapevolezza.
+tiziano grandi non siamo la stessa persona, io Alessandro, sono videomaker e fotografo, lui, Alexandros, è il praticante greco che vedi in questo video. grazie comunque!
Pekkato! sarebbe stata la perfezione....in ogni caso è gioia vedere i tuoi clip come è gioia vedere una persona gestire il proprio corpo in questa maniera.... saludos tiziano
Hi Alessandro thank you for the inspiring video. What is the best way or technique to train to do Mulabandhasana and how long should one hold the pose for?
Still coming back to this video after 8 years... Incredible cinetography, skills, and very wise words!
One of my regrets was starting my yoga practice when I was 33. I always ask myself why didn't I start my practice earlier. Then I realize, there isn't a right or wrong time to start.

Videoorchard I totally agree with you!!
It's been 4 years of practice now. i started practicing 3 times a week, then 4 and then it became a daily integral part of my life :)
I started at 50
I am starting my yoga journey at the age of 40 and I think that all the previus things in my life has been preparing me for this moment
So beautiful. I've been lucky to meet Alexandros and he's amazing!
Laruga Yoga As amazing as you. Thank you for your videos.
when are you coming to India .. i am greatest fan u can ever have .. love be be a part of your session.. namaskaram
"The body just accommodates to the needs of your breath.. It came effortlessly". I will cary these words in my practice every day. Thank you Sir 🙏
The best thing about this video is seeing the sweat dripping on the mat. Fantastic practice !
this makes me feel better about starting yoga at 31. I'm always concerned that I'll never get any advanced poses down. but this guy started at 38 and his discipline has paid off. such an inspiration!
How long it took to get to the advanced poses? D:
I keep returning to this video over and over again whenever I need inspiration to continue practicing. Thank you so very much!
This is one of my favorite videos. I watch often before practicing, for motivation. Is it third or fourth series? Amazing practice he has.
so beautiful I even cry of how emotional I got, it's so true one abuses our physical bodies so much and like me I'm crying for help and do this.
I feel so much in peace when I stretch and 'try' to do yoga, going vegan was a huge change for me 3 years ago and now I really want to learn this practice.
+My Own BS yoga can be very life changing for what it's around it. healthy choices first... this resonates with my own experience too!
+My Own BS You can do anything you want, the practice will transform you completely, on all levels. Wishing you all the best, love and health :).
+My Own BS As the others said, jump in and watch the changes happen for yourself. Yoga is about (always) moving towards to the pose, not the arrival. The road is the goal... Sending you good energy.
+My Own BS Come to mysore Ashtanga yoga. You will enjoy it
Go for it man! This is definitely a great moment for you to start :)
Wow that is really inspirational!! And only 7 years!! Wow.. Amazing!!!
When i see people doing the things he does, i used to think that they were born in a yogamat haha this is very inspiring.. Just practice is the best advice..thanks so much.. Love and Light
My Dear Alexandros, many many greetings from Nepal. So happy to see all the practice of yours that brought you to the point of no more effort...Nothing can be experienced as pure Love if you do not carry the LOVE. In respect from afar...
I love this story so much, I have no idea how many time I watched this video on the last years. thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I started my yoga practice three yrs ago and I am 49 and no regrets at all . Could have started it before but it’s all about divine timing.
i just started asana practice at 37 and this has been the most inspiring piece yet for me. thank you for this share
Same :)
As I am getting older, turning 25 next month, I can say I have became further influenced getting into yoga because while still young, I must take care of my body, and this is a great and powerful inspiration to go far, and thank you for the video 💙
Namaste 🙏🏻💙
This video speaks to my heart. Thank you
+Ben Rodigas Indeed! :)

one of the best videos
He is really amazing. The posrures are perfect. Must have spent years to attain this perfection !!!!

Alexandros is such a humble guy. I'm happy that I met him. The way he and Alessandro is telling this story is really inspiring!
+Paula Andrea Vahos Where did you meet him?
I started doing yoga I want to say 3 years ago, off and on (now I'm doing it more frequently). I have seen significant changes in my body! I am more flexible, strong, and I can't wait to get to this level!
Best practice of Ashtanga Ive ever seen, or will see. Thank you for your inspiring post. God bless.

Beautiful practice. I watch it everyday before I practice. Namaste.
I, too, wish I’d discovered this beautiful practice sooner. If I didn’t have a busy professional life and young kids I would do this practice every day. Ashtanga has taken me by surprise and I’m elated to be on this journey.🙏🏼

Alessandro...I find this video so inspiring. No idea how many times I've watched it. Thank you.

Watched this video for at least 30 times,great source of inspiration
Incredible discipline!! And a gift in developing a deep personal practice for all these years! Much respect 🙏
Your practice is an inspiration.
1:32 It's not really the physical. The body just accomodates the need of the breath, and the calling you have inside......
you and your films never fail to bring out the emotions in me! Truly beautiful

"There are many ways you can practice love and this is just one of them"
