You can't imagine how this video and David's explanations have changed my whole routine and my understanding...! Videos like this are really a gift! And again... Stu, you are a brilliant interviewer!

[@livinglifewholefoods]

Stu really is a brilliant interviewer. I like that man's calm and serene approach! :) Loved the interview and it will help me too! Thanks again Stu for such a great interview!

Hey ninja nic. I know your commented on this 7 whole years ago but if you get a notification, could you PLEASE tell me how you are doing with the float today? I live in a remote area, there are no studios where I live, I am practising alone with the help of YT videos and I have to say, I have learned a lot. Of course, it doesn´t beat having a teacher by your side, but I do what I can. I would like to float, I know it takes time, months and maybe even years but I am determined that I will learn it. Have you got any other pointers, any other suggestions or maybe even another video you think would be helpful to me? I am practising a lot with David and Jelena among others, and they have explained a lot to me. Your comment gave me hope and I am just curious to how your practise is going. Hopefully you are still practising and you will reply. Thank you so much. Namaste

[@HaiHoang-xx4pk]

This is the most useful how to float instruction clip I have ever seen. Thank you.

[@TheHitchkick]

Hej HaiHoang. How are your floats going? Are you able to do it now and if so, how long did it take you to achieve and concur if I can use that word? Thank you for your reply, if I get on and Namaste from Sweden

[@thegabbazabba]

Your interviews are the best out there. These tips are simple,accessible and SO helpful! Thank you David and Stu!

[@isabeau82]

Had to smile with the final "good luck" and the difficulties I imagine coming ahead :)

[@johndouglas3622]

poetry in motion. Incredible tutorial and...Stu! I love you!

[@lindas5964]

I never really thought about the frustration with not being able to jump back and forward is really about the struggle to stay with the count! Although for me it’s exactly what it is!! Thank you for helping me understand this! I remember when first starting the Ashtanga practice I’d get frustrated with the short count that we had to get all the way to chaturanga Dandasana but I’ve since gotten past that and the necessity to do it perfectly is no longer so important to me. Much love to you both for bringing high quality yoga to all of us❣️

[@kokorouk]

The best demonstration I have seen and think this will help me no end to learn to float

[@idaho307]

Did it help you?

[@kaceesimpson3057]

Thank you so much for putting out these videos! They have bettered my practice and teachings as well as sparked me to continue to keep my mind open and curious about the 'rules' of yoga. - Colorado Yoga Teacher

[@andreagriffin9842]

Best video!!! Thank you!

[@wenangism]

I started Yoga at 53 and I'm now 55, my goal is to float one day, my right rotator cuff injury from a fall keep side tracking my training, I really need to build up my upper body. I have the flexibility but not the strength, thank you for this tutorial ✨

[@nadines.1107]

wenaism are you floating by now?

[@LaoZi2023]

Wenaism, are you floating yet? Have you stuck with Ashtanga, or have have you moved on to a different yoga style?

[@TheHitchkick]

@@nadines.1107 That´s what I also would like to know. I started recently, being 55 myself but have worked as a professional dancer my whole adult life so I guess I have a bit of an advantage.

[@YorkC19]

Great!!! Thank you both 💟🕉😘

[@MsTomashelbig]

Thank you ;). I've got it! you've, on cooperation with me, totally changed my practise. 💜

[@RaeZoladawn777]

[@gemini-gw7bl]

Stu, you are not alone, my legs also sink when I swim...

[@mizaaae]

Thank you

[@hollywilde5428]

As an instructor I will only ask people to step into forward fold, if they float good on them.

[@cordellsenior9935]

Super.

[@sarahlima9169]

Maravilhoso

[@mattrutkowski5305]

23:28 it’s Adamantium, Stu & Robson... as I know you’re both geeks it breaks my heart to not hear you get the Marvel lore correct 😉 In all seriousness, DR is one of the most influential teachers to me in terms of developing straightforwardness in practice and methods of teaching my fellow practitioners 🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@nkastropil]

David is so sweet 💓

[@yogagirlvioletsky2703]

[@sandra.saverio]

Talk too much to say nothing, not well explained the preparations.

[@TheHitchkick]

That´s your opinion, but to me it was really helpful. It´s a shame you had to be so negative. I guess no one can please everyone. Still a shame you had to comment so negative without giving a more constructive criticism. Hope you still got something out of their help. Namaste
