Ashtanga Led Primary Series | David & Jelena Yoga

[@outliersIDstudio]

Hi Yelena and David, after years of not practicing, today I came back to my mat and was so happy to have you lead. Love the new studio!

[@bellazade8036]

One of the most longest, tiring, emotional and painful practices I’ve had in my entire life. And yet, one I will be the most grateful for. I have learned many lessons from this singular session, and I truly appreciate you both for doing what you do. Please never stop and continue touching the lives of others like how you have. Namaste. Sending you blessings

[@hockeydogs2239]

Ashtanga is often called yoga therapy, yes it is hard and I use it as part of my shadow because it brings up trauma and fears.

[@avivavyann5027]

Why do you force yourself into painful poses? I do not get that. Yoga is a pleasent walk not meant to hurt you.

[@watchingzahid]

i dont know if she meant as in emotionally painful, because personally it has been emotionally painful. instead of painful i would use challenging and or uncomfortable. the practice shouldn’t be painful but at one point it will be uncomfortable as are many events in our lives. i agree u shouldnt force yourself into poses but with continued and dedicated practice you might be able to do them one day.

[@ellenmccole4984]

Thank you SO much for posting this online. As a beginner, I am learning so much from your pointers and feel like I will continue to on my progression towards the harder poses and more frequent practice. This video has brought me so much joy and calmness and it is wonderful to know I am practicing with many others despite being in my living room. ✌🏻🌹

[@amariebradish]

I am in love, mind, body and soul with your practice. Thank you both for offering your shared knowledge and wisdom to the world!

[@Jilly_mr]

I don’t have an Ashtanga studio anywhere near me, which is so unfortunate. I practice at home now because the studios I have attended leave me wanting more. These videos are what opened my practice up to exactly what I was searching for physically AND mentally/spiritually. My dedication and discipline to my practice has been strengthened 10 fold. I practice 5-6 days a week and start my day with this practice. This yoga style has transformed my life, and I sincerely hope one day I will be able to make the journey to mysore. I am grateful for this video and hope to practice in person with Jelena and David! 🙏🏼💜✨Namaste ✨💜🙏🏼

[@kimberlyyogi]

I was so happy to wake up to a new “D&J” video. Full, Led Primary Series in 1hr, 16 min… Perfect! Many Thanks.❤

[@caseygough9933]

It is truly amazing how much more motivated I am to do a 75-minute practice than a 90-minute one (-: THANK YOU for allowing me to keep up my ashtanga practice. I have a toddler and a baby and we moved far away from my old yoga studio, so traditional mysore opportunities are harder to come by these days--I am so grateful for your excellent cues and your embodiment of all the virtues of the practice!

[@cantikkeren]

Just stop by here, hv to tell tht ur class is amazing super, the. Participants are powerfull people, -greetings from Europe -

[@tizianaelenacolombo7436]

I really want to THANK U for this inibitable led class: your tone of voice, the rhythm of counting and your smile !!! U both, David and Jelena. I also want to thank your practitioners. I wish U all a peaceful day!!! 🧘🏼‍♀️🕉💓

[@harpreetmehra7195]

Amazing... I practised ashtanga 8 yrs back and lost touch as we changed surroundings and situations. This is the first time it reminded me of my practice and first time carried through than my previous futile trials of getting the vigor and motivation back. Thanks gurus, the way you explain and maintain the tempo.

[@HolisticBlissYog]

I am practicing this daily! Since I started, it's brought so much discipline in my life. Thank you for this class, David & Jelena! Love & love to you.

[@TheForestSinger27]

The primary series always humbles me

[@mzfrizzle1794]

This is great to see other students practicing! Through your videos, I’ve been practicing solo in my small town up to half primary over the last year. Yesterday I got to take a led class in a city of full primary! It used to seem so far off but it’s become accessible for me! Excited to add these new postures to my practice!

[@MickyDassler]

Thank you David and Jelena for this! I love how you manage to squeeze in so many pointers for each pose! Hugely helpful.

[@yogagirlvioletsky2703]

I knowww, right-I had atleast 4 maybe more "ahhh haaa" moments w/ David's instructions/tweaks! gotta love that

[@flowwithali]

So grateful to have found your channel and this amazing full ashtanga class. Although I teach vinyasa, I am not able to practice ashtanga in studio. This is amazing. Will come back to this again and again!

[@niloofarrashidi7811]

[@marritadasilva8466]

Please do a complete wall yoga class. It helps us understand how tight areas are and what is req in a move. Thank you for all the wonderful videos you provide.

[@booksspeaking287]

Always helpful on days I just find self practice difficult. This definitely helps. Moving with the sound

[@mainurkaziz9523]

the best variation of yoga, ashtanga yoga is the biggest love. definitely my favourite training for soul and body. It gives so much power, calmness and happiness, it makes you stronger every day and deeply happy. I am so grateful to have such an amazing opportunity to know and pratice ashtanga.

[@on_your_yoga_mat]

A really great pace with clear and concise instructions, thank you 🙏

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

[@blackplague-x3y]

Much gratitude for this practice. You can really sense the spirit of yoga with David & Jelena. A couple of times I had tears of joy and gratitude. Cheers to the teachers. I'll be back for more :)

[@eve5568]

That was pretty intense but so worth it . I am ready to learn more and push my practice further after this class. I am grateful! Thank you ❤

[@Liza-ug8lv]

Thanks David and Jelena😊 I am starting to practice this again, not everyday, but most of the days. It was bad and good experience: some days are Feeling great, but some are pain ; some are improving; others are not... I guess is the practice all about. Thanks so much for your leading practice. It becomes my daily ritual❤ namaste 🙏☘️

[@arushrestha1122]

I loved the way you instruct saying the words during the poses. It is one of my best yoga practice but at the same time never felt enough to bring flexibility in to my body. I can't do all poses as they all are doing. Never enough practicing. Thank you ❤

[@damiaanvolp2714]

Again very helpful in learning the whole sequence! ❤

[@AdmissionsCheckup]

Thank you so much. Your classes are amazing.

[@le_hardi6984]

[@lakjo8837]

I’m becoming better because of you, physically in asanas, emotionally and mentally too.

[@kellylynch3755]

[@lottabella9783]

Oh I`m amazed,, that is the hammer ! That are not beginners. : ) Very beautiful asanas and inspiration for me to get better. Thank you.

[@user-cn8jy7vd7t]

Thank you so so much for the video David and Jelena. I have been enjoying doing this class at the other end of the world in New Zealand. I love the pace and all the tiny extra details for each pose that David includes in his dialogue. And the video is ad free! You are such great teachers. I look forward to meeting you two in Goa in the near future🥰

[@matthieumateo6714]

Very good teaching and nice energy from all the students

[@EleonorPortfolio]

The cues are precise and very helpful ! Many thanks for this great video, I practice often with it 😊🙏

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

You're so welcome!

[@beverleylawrence2751]

Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much David & Jelena, I can't go regularly to classes but this is an absolute God send...beautifully delivered.

[@andreadybvik]

Thank you for guiding me through this primary series! I've been on and off from ashtanga a long time, practicing other styles when needed, but I always come back, and now I want to deep dive into it! So grateful I get to practice with you to get back into it physically, mentally and spiritually🤍

[@michelewillingham9060]

I had to modify at times but not that much which I was grateful for and the class was amazing. I am still learning to do the bow pose and need to do camel first before I can stretch up. Really active and challenging and the real Ashtanga. Thanks for sticking to the tradition which creates energy and peace. The cues really brought to light what to do that I never heard before especially on the twists. I can see that we progress with practice. Namaste.

[@srv2136]

It's very effective starting to chant for Maharshi Patanjali for his yoga sutras from which we are benefitted....

[@saraswathyvenkatachalam5232]

Saw this on Xmas morning and rolled out my mat immediately! Thank you Santa ❤️
