Ashtanga Primary Led Class in Short Form | 45 minutes class for Busy Ashtangi or Ashtanga Beginner

[@moniquedalgleish8153]

0:04 Ashtanga was my gateway to yoga at 30 when a dancer friend shared her practice. It was a revelation and I practiced on and off for 20 years. After exploring other forms and modalities, now at 62, I found myself realising just how cleverly integrated it is in drawing so many wisdoms together. After exploring recent understandings of vagal tone I felt a yearning for the refined integration of breath and movement, strength and softness from Ashtanga. This short version has been my pathway back. I’m going slowly and gently, loving the way I feel myself unfolding and welcoming the practice back in. It’s amazing how memories of wonderful intensities and connections come flooding back. This practice is a wonderful teacher. It’s been over a month of regular practice now with this and some of your other classes, and I’m beginning to feel curious to try the full practice. Maybe soon! Thank you for providing this perfect way back for me ❤

[@DoronYoga]

This touched my heart. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@amieeinerson9452]

Great job! Thank you. I too hope I can come practice with you in person. That view is amazing!!

[@DoronYoga]

Indeed, I hope so too!

[@ElizavetaGorzhiy]

Yesssssss thank you so much for this! I'm a teacher and have lots of students throughout the day, so it's a real challenge to find time for a long ashtanga practice. This 45-minute lesson was a blessing!

[@DoronYoga]

Thank you for supporting us. Sometimes less is more in our daily practice.

[@photosilvereyes]

excellent thank you😀👍!

[@DoronYoga]

Thank you for practicing with us !! 🙏

[@jacquelinemundellperkins6773]

I love your ashtanga classes. I am so glad to have found this channel. I am 68 , my knees are very arthritis but this makes me stronger and everything improves. Thank you for posting these videos. I am going to master the whole primary and secondary series 😂 a great challenge . Never say never

[@DoronYoga]

Yes! so happy to serve your needs for a great challenge and make you stronger. Keep us posted on your progress in mastering both series!!

[@MeditateandManifestwithJonnie]

i've been doing vinyasa for so long, and recently discovered ashtanga. I feel that it's more effective to improve my weaknesses, but it makes it also insanely more challenging. This shorter practice definitely has been helpful for me to build up to the full series. Thank you.

[@DoronYoga]

That's great! Thank you for joining us! Remember to practice with awareness and honoring your body, don't rush to new challenges!

[@jacquelinemundellperkins6773]

Wonderful confidence building , calming, beautiful practice. Thank you

[@shirjajeva]

This was totally new approach for Ashtanga for my and you know what - I loved the gentleness, good reminder that practice doesn’t only have to be one specific way, that we are alloweed to modify and its not going to “ruin” the practice. Namaste🙏

[@DoronYoga]

Absolutely!! You are so right, and I am grateful you can see it. Dedication and practice are essential, but compassion must come with it.

[@kellyjackson3352]
