Finally!!!!! THanks guys hoping that you continues to send us your training perfect for my morning routine ❤️❤️❤️send you lot of love
Hi lovely couples, it’s been more than two months i lost my beloved 27 son in an extremely shocking way, I haven’t done any yoga since then and I’m under medication, though today was the first day I started with this 30 minutes and I am so grateful to you, I wish the best for you ❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔
When I started ashtanga 3 months ago, I had to stop this video twice, i was that tired! Today I do your half primary series with some variations, because my flexibility isn't so good, but I can do all the chaturangas with you! Thank you so much for such a brilliant practice
I’m trying this almost everyday for last 10 days I’m getting so much better I’m working on breathing and movement together
Me too!
Hi! Just out of curiosity, did you keep up the practise or did you decide not to? I did my first one today and although I am not disappointed, I felt that this was too much of a challenge for me, I am a beginner and I feel I don´t have enough strength nor mobility yet. But reading your comment about the 10 days, gives me hope.
Same here
Power and strength to both of you and ofcourse to the creators of this video
(2 months later) I came back to this practise and video today and although I am trying not to judge myself, the dancer in me cannot help but being very proud and grateful that 2 months ago, this was too intense and too fast for me. Today I enjoyed the practise and wanted it to be longer. I still am not quite there yet with a few poses such as the forward fold and placing my hands next to my feet on the mat, I am aware of it and that´s all. No judgement, only gratitude. No, who am I fooling? I am thrilled!! 😍. Thank you David and Jelena, you two are a joy to both listen to and watch. Namaste!
@@TheHitchkick O wonderful! So you are continuing the practice. I have been doing Hath yoga so, I am able to achieve asan the way instructed. I lack stamina to achieve full class. I am working on it and slowly I ll be there 🤞
This is GOLD! Thank you so much for sharing a routine that is a bit challenging but still attainable for an absolute Astanga beginner! There are so many yoga “beginner” videos out there that don’t even offer alternatives if one is too stiff… I just decided to start Astanga and then your video magically appeared in my search. I will practice it every morning. Looking forward to more videos from you David and Jelena, thank you again!
Thank you for your feedback - we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the class :)
Gold indeed❤❤❤
Watching Jelena practice makes me feel so peaceful
Amazing! The best Ashtanga yoga teachers ever! Gracias 🙏🏼
There is no yoga teacher in the area where I live and I want to master this. As yoga is a very natural form I believe that people can find the right way to do this. Thank you for your content.
We're glad you found our channel and find it helpful to learn from home :)
Awesome!! I would still suggest creating an opportunity to study under an Ashtanga Master - technical corrections make all the difference 😉💕🌈 GL with your practice!
David and Jelena, thank you so much for your work and these beginner videos. I used to learn to practice Ashtanga at mysore classes and led ones as well a while back and haven't been practicing since the pandemic. Your tutorials are helping me to get back into Ashtanga without resistance and kindness to myself. Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you for this great video. I have always had an interest in Ashtanga yoga but was quite intimidated, came across this and have been practicing regularly almost daily with this video. Can almost follow along😁. Looking forward to trying other videos as I continue to progress!!!
Thank you for this super introduction to Ashtanga! Could you do the second part of the go floor series too please? 🙏🏽🙏🏽
thank you for making this available
I'm not a beginner I started yoga over 30 years ago I'm almost 60. I like this bc I'm determined to get a practice back with ashtanga so beginners is ideal for me right now. Great video ❤
I am 50 and have decided to look after my body better, I am writing this during my 1st break (only managed 9 mins)....I need a few more minutes and will begin again. I am determined to finish it and do it again tomorrow....hopefully I will get stronger. Thanks for the lesson and all the information on how to do the moves (flow?)
Short, Sweet & Sweaty....Loved it 👍....thank you guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dear David and Jelena, l appreciate you every time more and more. I am not an ashtanga, and this lesson is perfect for me. I am a yoga teacher but l am not as good as you are! I am learning so much. Thanks for your intelligent lessons. GOD BLESS YOU. Cecilia
Our pleasure and thank you so much for sharing! Great to hear you're finding our videos and classes helpful, Cecilia :)
Thank you for the detail instruction. I m back to basics and discovered my many errors and unnecessary steps! Thanks again. Love your videos and sharing of your knowledge.
Thank you guys for coming back on youtube.
Thank you for watching our videos. We're excited to be making content on here now as well :)
I discovered ashtanga yoga style few months ago. Primary classes were actually for advanced.
Thanks to offer this fundamental class. Very helpful to gros.
Namasté 🙏🏽
Thank you David & Jelena! Though I’m regular in yoga, however this beginner yoga still the best for me to strengthen my core and review my basic poses. Great love from 🇲🇾 ❤❤❤
Gosh - I really enjoyed my first Ashtanga class! I am 56yo and I have been doing yoga at least twice weekly for almost 2 years. I have also learned quite a lot from watching many of your videos - I really love the delivery (format & pace). I will be back! ThanX much! Much ❤
Hi Carol, Thank you for your lovely feedback - so great to hear that you're enjoying the class. :)
@@DavidandJelenaYoga Did it this morning - Yay! Truth be told - I was really kinda intimidated by Ashtanga. I did not think I could do it. But your beginner video has become my workout x2 weekly. Moving slowly and allowing myself to experience the breath and movement - allowing my brain to be at peace in each movement - it's rhythmic. I embrace the growth process. It definitely inspires me to keep going. ThanX again!
I wish I could have done "better" but I am a beginning with a dancers background in my mid 50s. Unfortunately, this practise was too difficult for me, I will have to return to a vinyasa practise to get more strength and mobility before I can come back to you two gorgeous people. Such a shame but still I would like to thank you very much for letting me take part of this. It is however a joy to see you move your incredible body, Jelena! David you are a gem, your voice and your guidance is perfection to my eyes and ears. Thank you!
THIS IS AWESOME! already shared it with a few friends that want to learn but schedules don’t make it possible to have a regular teacher. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the great instructions!
Just what I needed. David's instruction is so helpful. I've dabbled in Ashtanga before, but I guess I, the student, was finally ready and David and Jelena appeared (in my algorithm)
Thank David and Jelena, best pratice for beginners. This video helps me a lot. Karina from Brazil
Yes, I actually finished this class. thank you, I don't feel so defeated.
Excellent straight- forward instruction. It’s my second go and I’m feeling a bit broken, but i remember back in the day that I’ll mend with practice and my body will thank me for it. It’s been years but I enjoyed it before - when I was able to do the whole primary series! - and I’m looking forward the getting my posture, balance and flexibility back. Thanks!
Thanks folks!
Thank you for this pre-primary series. ❤
here' the flow we all need :D 🙏 thank you
SO great to hear - thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing this lovely to find an Ashtanga class I can follow, after so many years of not doing it.
Great work! Very informative and useful video. THANKS!
You're very welcome :)
David and Jelena! Thank you so much for this amazing video! It has helped my practice immensely and I have been using this video almost every day for the last few weeks for guidance. It's so nice to follow along with both of you
I would like to take up a Training with you two one day. Watching your vidoes all over youtube brings me so much encouragement and motivations. I am currently in Thailand doing TTC and almost coming to an end with my traning, infact on Sunday it will be my written exams to becoming a Yoga Instructor. Thank you guys for this video, it helps me polish my errors and above all I enjoy learning from you both. Keep up the good work. Namaste. ❤
I love this beginners class. Would it be possible for you both to do a beginners 2 class as I have been doing this one for a few weeks now and feel ready to move on to the next step. Maybe a 35 min one and then 40 mins etc up to 60 mins bringing it to the full version in a time frame that builds on progression. I love the chanting but just can’t follow so maybe break that down a bit. I love Ashtanga because of the structure and watch your tutorials but end up being overwhelmed, whereas a weekly structure or monthly might work for me and others who need to build up using a more scaffolding approach. I don’t know how you would structure it but I am sure you do! Thank you. I am a big fan and love the way you both work together in a supportive, collaborative and fun way. You have definitely cracked it and made it accessible. Ashtanga teachers in the London suburbs are few and far between. I am very grateful to you both.
You guys are amazing! I loved your super clear detailed begginers class with all the details in only half an hour!! Many thanks!
Our pleasure! Glad to hear you found it useful :)
Love your class! I’ve followed you on Instagram, and found your vedios on RUclips, which helps a lot! Thanks!👏👏👍👍
Thanks so much! Glad you found us here too! We'll be releasing lots of longer form content on here so stay tuned for more :)
so good. I feel like I improved my yoga in one session then I have in a year. thank you.
Thank you for choosing to practice with us :) Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I showed up for class today. Completed just the Sun salutations. Would try my best again.
Thanks a ton for putting in efforts and sharing this.
Thanks a lot from Russia
Thank you David and Jelena.
Excellent class! It focused me full in breathing. Thanks !
❤❤ Thank you so much for all your videos and dedication 😊 Tried the 60 min ashtanga first, i was sore for a week 😂 Gonna keep this one in my daily routine to build some strength and come back to the hour lesson later 🫶
you two are the BEST!! my top morning routine as a beginner and I get stronger every day!! ❤❤❤❤
Good to see you after a long time🙏🙏🌹🌹
Thank you so much! This is a great video and your both great teachers! 💖💖
It's great an in-between practice especially when I don't have energy to do a 1 hour version. Thank you!
I'm gonna try this. Never done Ashtanga before because I'm still a beginner (been doing yoga since 2021 but very inconsistently and big gaps in between) and I feel like it might be too chanllenging (as compared to Hatha) and I'm scared of potential injuries. Excited.
Also, I keep saying this - the Liforme mats are soooo pretty, I wish I got one instead of buying another brand.
Thank you so much for making this video and breaking down the positions. Saving this video to continue practicing my positions ☺
I love all your videos ❤ May you include more different pranayama techniques to complement our yogic practice.
☆Thanks for sharing such a beautiful energy☆ !!
Wow! Amazing:) thank you David&Jelena❤️💃🏻
What a great video . I can't believe you only have 11k subscribers . Your channel will grow with great content you guys are putting out .
Thank you so much! We're only just beginning on here - lots more to come :)
Thank you soooo much! Loving your classes. I used to do Ashtanga a decade ago and it feels so good to start doing it again.
Love love love this Thank you so much 💋❤️🙏🏻
Thank you - saw your previous message and was just about to recommend this class to you. So happy that you love it :)
Thank you and more!
Our pleasure! :)
I'm excited to make this my regular beginner practice until I level up. :)
This is amazing guys ! U made this easy .. !! Keep posting!
Awesome! I am familiar with the postures, but not with the Asthanga sequence. When you present the sequence slowly it is easier to follow and to memorize it.
Thanks guys❤
David's voice like quiet lake, so peaceful and relaxing .
Thank you for that video David and Jelena!
Super helpful! Sending thanks from the tiny island of Jersey 🙏❤
I loved it,!!!!!!! I will definitely be doing my daily ashtanga with you guys. Love following your links and all of your tips and reminders really help and deepen my practice. Thank you xx
Great to hear that you're enjoying our teaching. We'll be releasing more classes soon as well :)
This was wonderful, love the detailed directions regarding the press points on the mat. Ashtanga is challenging but very structured. I am a yoga teacher typically teaching Vin or Hatha. Jelena and David are such beautiful people and a great breath of fresh air. Thank you for the videos. Gabriele
I am so glad I found this page. I love how you break down the asanas for this practice. I will be adding this to my morning practice.
Love this class.
Thanks so much for your kind feedback :)
Thank you for this short Ashtanga sequence! Good tempo and on point! Namaste 🙏🏼
Thank you So Very Much... This is so Crucial for Beginners...
Thank you SO much!! 🙏🏼
You're very welcome :)
Thank you for nice video
I love and wait to practice with your full ashtanga here in Thailand ❤️
Thank you for the support and great to hear that you enjoyed the class! More coming soon :)
I love you guys you both are amazing guidence 🙏🏼🕉💜 thank you so much 🙏🏼
Love u both! 💖💖
Thank you, amazing video and easy to follow 🙏
jelena molim te
you are the best guys
Love the practice! Thank you ❤️
So glad you enjoyed the class :)
You are the BEST!!!
Love it! I just did this for the second time this week. My shoulders are still sore from my first try a few days ago so I was struggling a bit more this time, but I know I’m building my strength 😌💪🏻
This was wonderful. I've wanted to try something more challenging than my regular hatha yoga class for a while but there always seemed to be a big leap to the intermediate and Ashtanga classes. This was the perfect level of challenging but doable(ish) :) for me. Thank you so much and please, please do more like this!
I agree! Such a great resource they have provided for those of us new to Ashtanga.
Love the way ypu lead... Waiting for the next level ashtanga,
Thank you! Looking forward to the next one :)
Thank you for watching! More coming soon :)
fantastic-thank you!
