[@frafiretto7876]

Finally!!!!! THanks guys hoping that you continues to send us your training perfect for my morning routine ❤️❤️❤️send you lot of love

[@elhamnakhostin2827]

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 ❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔

[@AJA-ie5uu]

I wish all yoga teachers were this good. Thank you for this video 🙏

[@mello2192]

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

[@karolina.thomson]

Watching Jelena practice makes me feel so peaceful

[@luefamily0511]

Thank you! Beautiful class. Loved how you break down the details of breath, alignment, shifting of force, etc.

[@adorawang3559]

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!

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Thank you for your feedback - we're happy to hear that you enjoyed the class :)

[@analoraineabel-dy9747]

Gold indeed❤❤❤

[@lennybogart]

I love the way Jelena does ‘triny’ so slowly! And to see Jelena walking forwards from D-Dog is hilarious!! Nameste 💜🙏💜

[@niloufarkhalili]

I’m trying this almost everyday for last 10 days I’m getting so much better I’m working on breathing and movement together

[@janiverster6162]

Me too!

[@TheHitchkick]

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.

[@bananacake79]

Same here Power and strength to both of you and ofcourse to the creators of this video

[@TheHitchkick]

(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!

[@bananacake79]

@@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 🤞

[@ridhwanashaik8159]

Thank you for this super introduction to Ashtanga! Could you do the second part of the go floor series too please? 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@judithmartinez-cx4by]

Amazing! The best Ashtanga yoga teachers ever! Gracias 🙏🏼

[@OyaRevolutionary]

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 ❤

[@aliyatair]

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! ❤

[@RominaRomeroHermoso]

Jelena is so graceful! Thanks for what you both do.

[@yohil4614]

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.

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

We're glad you found our channel and find it helpful to learn from home :)

[@MahinaMoon552]

Awesome!! I would still suggest creating an opportunity to study under an Ashtanga Master - technical corrections make all the difference 😉💕🌈 GL with your practice!

[@adidi_mamon]

Thank you very much ❤ I’d love a longer beginner video ❤

[@TheHitchkick]

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!

[@sarabb2056]

Good class, easy to follow and a good pace for intermediate and beginner primary series.

[@Jynxapathy]

Thank you for this wonderful class. This is the beginning of my Ashtanga Yoga journey, and this class will always have played a pivotal role for me.

[@joethesurvivor]

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 🙏🏽

[@dinatinaz]

thank you for making this available

[@angelawebb7676]

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)

[@TofiYee]

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.

[@ceciliaboldrini5134]

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

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Our pleasure and thank you so much for sharing! Great to hear you're finding our videos and classes helpful, Cecilia :)

[@tahda546]

[@evelynjaui]

Thank you! I am new on your channel and really enjoyed following your calm and strong flow. Also with variations and chanting. 🥰 Oh and I read that you have been to Mysore! Next India visit I also wanna go there 😍 Namasté!

[@arunkaushik4901]

Short, Sweet & Sweaty....Loved it 👍....thank you guys

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rosieespinosacfh-ct3zj]

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. ❤

[@saolálainn]

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?)

[@jessicachateau2565]

I'm excited to make this my regular beginner practice until I level up. :)

[@leighmartin5344]

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.

[@lidiagarner8350]

Thank you so much! This is a great video and your both great teachers! 💖💖

[@trinihughes1447]

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!!!

[@mayfire4202]

I love the opening chant!! Where can I find the words for that one?? Your instructions are amazing ❤️❤️

[@sagsungoddess]

This is the first video I've watched and you gained a new follower! ❤

[@reginapopelaski7236]

Yes, I actually finished this class. thank you, I don't feel so defeated.

[@ailsajones4508]

Thank you for doing this lovely to find an Ashtanga class I can follow, after so many years of not doing it.

[@rosywhitehead2137]

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!

[@chingwenyang2009]

Thank you for this pre-primary series. ❤

[@sst5144]

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 🇲🇾 ❤❤❤

[@melissamarchesemusic]

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. ❤️❤️❤️

[@ardakolimsky7107]

Thanks folks!

[@maritzacurry5443]

[@carolpowell8695]

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 ❤

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Hi Carol, Thank you for your lovely feedback - so great to hear that you're enjoying the class. :)

[@carolpowell8695]

@@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!

[@yase2682]

Many thanks for this excellent introduction. One request I have is a link in your notes to the opening chant. I don’t know enough Sanskrit to follow along. 😊

[@tiasha6098]

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.

[@leonievig]

Thank you for this short Ashtanga sequence! Good tempo and on point! Namaste 🙏🏼

[@soulyoga4u]

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
