Ashtanga Sun Salutations to the Beat of the Drum | Deepen Your Yoga Practice | 20 Minute Class

[@CarmenLeung]

Hi as a yogi and a drummer I really enjoy the idea of this practice!!! The steady beat rhythm is calming, regulating breath and mind - soooooo good.

[@robinp2039]

Have you ever considered a 108 sun salutations video? We used to have a class at my studio and it was nice to have someone minimally queuing the movement. I cannot find anything like it on youtube. You both understand the practice and I think you would be fantastic to guide this challenging practice.

[@dsargeant]

I would really like a version of this with only the count. Kind of a minimalist version. I find it easier to focus without all the instructions. Especially if I am going to do this practice everyday or every few days. Once it's memorized, I could do it from memory, but I find the audio/visual helpful sometimes. Just would prefer a more minimal version with count only. If you were to record the video with the drums in a headset worn by David, then you could edit the audio post production. Producing 2 versions with instruction and without.

[@RAHHicecream]

I agree

[@robertf4209]

Davids instruction is wonderful and Jalena's practice demonstration is perfection. I so appreciate the work and effort you both put into this and your making it freely available. Regarding the request for just drums and count, I understand why someone would want that but I find the narration meditative. Thank you !

[@Searotonine]

Great idea 😊

[@lennybogart]

Ahhh amazing!! I did this after meditating for an hour or so in the morning. My head nearly exploded when I laid down to rest!! 🫨🫠🤤😂💜🙏💜

[@petermettam2936]

Hello David, I live in Mysore for 8 years now, practicing with Saraswathi Met you at liquor shop one evening, we had short chat, love your work, enjoy watching your videos with Jelena🙏

[@laurabutie611]

Love the sleeping pup! Definitely some balanced in that room!

[@iahorvath]

This is very helpful - to go through the whole flow with you with a timed drum. Most explanatory yoga videos do a lot of talking and there is no indication as to how the movement should flow with the breath. I do not have access to a live class right now so this is the next best thing for me and you explain it extremely well in this great daily morning flow. Thank you for this! I so wish I could go to your classes.

[@Nortonius_]

Thank you! ☮️🙏🏾

[@zpritomneni]

My teacher in the Czech republic has recommended me your channel. I really enjoy your classes and David's funny attitude in the beginning and at the end of the classes :) but on the other hand he is a great guide!!! Please create more drumbeat led classes slowly incorporating and extending into the whole series eventually, that would be amazing! Thank you for your work!

[@captainbobsparrow9092]

This has been my daily routine since 11/6… not sure if anyone else has noticed but you only count 4 breaths in downward dog on the 4th sun A … but thank you so much for this vid! A few more months & I should be able to move onto the 40 min one! 💪🏾

[@username-bn8jm]

Music and Asana love it. Had like a warrior tribal energy, felt very empowered. This is brilliant thank you David and jelena

[@jiayihuang6137]

love the drum. Love your teaching. Feel like in flow during the class🎉

[@DreasYogaJourney]

I love this video and will keep it as a tool to continue to improve my practice. Jelena moves with such precision and grace. Thank you both for your beautiful teachings. Your videos inspire me!! Since watching and practicing Sun A and B more regularly. My focus and control has improved immensely. My practice and inner connection continues to strengthen. Thanks again!

[@ioanamateiciuc4250]

I start my day with this class. Thank you so much!

[@kimieseaton]

Loved this class. I've been doing yoga about 3 years and never to a steady beat, which brings in a whole new level of focus and challenge. I always think of myself being more flexible than the average person, but watching Yelena at warm down sure makes me realize that I'm only part way there. Thank you for the new insights!

[@lauragouchermusic5471]

Absolutely loved this practice with the drum. It really helped to calm the breath stay focused. I'd love a full class with drum. Thank you both!!

[@veronaconstruction4278]

Love their primary series drum audio!

[@robertf4209]

Breath pace in A/B when practicing in a led class has been elusive for me. The instructor may do a vinyasa, or not, and breath for individuals winds up all over the place. In Mysore style that is what it is. But for a led and synchronjzed class the idea of a drumbrat is novel to me and I love it. I use a metronome when practicing instruments and it makes total sense to do the same with a breath paced practice like A/B. Thank you !

[@phoenixvision100]

I love this class! I recently started getting back into yoga, after taking a few years off around Covid time. It’s nice to have the shorter option to fit it in your day, versus doing a longer session or nothing. I could see a few mistakes I was making in some of the alignment and positioning, which I was able to realize and correct via repetition. Also, trying to keep with the Breathing rhythm was new and helpful.

[@HasSan-wr5tv]

I really like and apperciate the detailed instructions in your videos. I would love to see one on building a stronger core and pavlic floor. 🙂🙂

[@mikegroothoff16]

I ve done this one several times now. Sometimes as an intro to further practice, sometimes as a "quicky". I really like it. Thank you!

[@jarasysenderos6308]

Really good way of learning how to keep the movement and the breathe flowing! thank you :D

[@PeacefulHeart-do2wf]

I loved this short practice so much. Thank you!

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

You're so welcome!

[@joethesurvivor]

Fantastic class. Emphasis on the breath is very helpful. Will do it many more times. Namasté 🙏🏽🌻

[@Danni24]

Yessssss I love the drums ! 4 years ago this thought me how to get the rhythm ❤ I bought it I have it I used in my personal practice 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

[@jmg4952]

Thank you, this is my favourite class as a beginner❤

[@desifromitaly2205]

I'm a beginner and I love this practice and also the drumbeat MP3 track. I immediately bought it! And I subscribed to the channel, of course 🥰

[@yogawithnancy]

Good practice with the drum, I'm lov'in it! Thanks David and Jelena ❤

[@Seasmile8]

Amazing guys Thank you!!!!

[@vicki_fisch]

This was such an awesome class. Thank you. The beat took me to another level.

[@CurlyEm]

Thank you so very grateful for these teachings.

[@liberator2057]

Love this idea, I hadn’t realised how much my breath speeds up in SN B until today. I particularly cut short inhales. I’ll be getting the drum track, thanks!

[@niloufarkhalili]

Love this practice ❤❤

[@itsaboutalexa]

Ok did this again and it was so grounding and powerful and maybe my favourite short practice now

[@zaaful]

So relaxing🙏

[@marisabelhy3936]

Great to practice movement with breathing this way. Thanks for sharing!

[@contrattempo7]

This is amazing!

[@miekebosma1201]

Thank you so much. I really like this to get started again with Ashtanga. I am taking it slow, so couldn't do all the SN 2 but that is ok. I will be back ASAP. 🙏💓🙏

[@mgr.belavalentova8348]

Favotite one as a totall beginner❤️

[@or1g3l]

Amazing, I loved it 🥰 Thanks for making this video.

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@caramelyogini]

I loved moving with the drums. Can i find other versions of metronom drumbeats somewhere?:)

[@catherinemcmaster6740]

Great watching this ,I've not long started and have learned so much from you guys.

[@elbacosme]

I’ve never practiced Ashtanga and I’m a bit nervous to go to my first ever yoga retreat with Ashtanga and Rocket yoga. These videos are so helpful, thank you so very much!

Hi could you please share which Matt's are good ? Thanks 🙏

[@bezmein]

🙏🙏🙏

[@jayvanegas9679]

Is it possible to go through Natarajasana, please? I always struggle with balance on this asana and flipping my hand. 🙏🏾

[@lauragalli600]

Hi, I am a beginner… I started to shake head to toes when practicing with drums even just the sun salutations…what did I do wrong? 😅 thank you fo your help ❤

[@Caressa_with_an_E]

Do you have any suggestions for increasing flexibility in the hamstrings/back of the legs? I've been practicing 6x/week, but doing only a half primary (due to time and energy constraints) and the back of my legs are still so tight.

[@desifromitaly2205]

A specific video for increasing flexibility in the hamstrings/back of the legs would be very useful 👍

[@rupalthakkar6943]

Hi, in downwards dog..hands keep slipping forward? Thanks 🙏

[@bethanytamburri4735]

"promosm" 😀

[@Ravishns]
