    This video surprised me. As I was doing yoga with the Aston I began to be a little self-conscious about how far I was able to stretch, but every time I felt this way I heard her say that it was okay. It was okay to not be in the same place or not be able to stretch as far as I would like. It was very comforting and allowed me to relax more. Thank you!

    I really liked this beginner class. I will admit I'm not the most flexible person so holding downward dog and plank was challenging for me, but pacing my breathing helps a lot. Once it was over, I could feel how open and stretched my body felt compared to before the class. I found myself relaxed to the point where I yawned a couple times lol!

I like your videos because you teach about posture and that’s important. You are also focus on breathing which is also important 👍😀🙂

    I always get nervous when I try something new, but this video helped me get more comfortable with doing yoga. Being able to go step by step and learn how to put the poses and breathing together was very helpful. It also showed how to transition from one pose to another pose which I feel is essential to keep you focused and determined. Following the correct steps and having proper form is important so you can get the full experience. I felt very relaxed and full of energy after following this video.

    Have moved between this & another yoga class by Ashton August for 6 weeks - every morning (even that is a massive thing as I have rarely been this consistent in anything for many years - I'm 60). I have had very little yoga practice, none over the last 4/5 years. I have damage to the lower discs of my spine, no left knee cap & further serious injuries to that leg (left) that seem to have resulted in arthritis throughout the body. Well, my body is responding so well to the instructions & poses here & I can see some great results in flexibility - it really feels like my body is growing younger each day. I am absolutely thrilled to find these practices & have liked/subscribed. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ashton - you are amazing. Namaste.

      Hello アダムスエルア, thank you for sharing your feedback! I am so glad you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Yes, you are correct that learning any pose or technique (like walking feet forward to meet the hands) takes time and practice (and in this case, flexibility which also deepens over time). Feel free to reach out with any questions along the way. I also think you'll enjoy this Beginner Sun Salutation Flow: ruclips.net/video/L4Z7lix6Qao/видео.html Namaste! Ashton from YogiApproved
