Jelena’s demonstration of the swooping movement is so graceful as well :p

Please Ardha Chandrasana tutorial!

[@dileks.yogaspace]

I truly enjoyed watching this! Thank you so much for the insights 😊

[@mariethornton3123]

omg isn't it so nice how they think each other is just so wonderful ! Love how they teach us with love too !

[@CurlyEm]

again so much valuable information.... forever grateful. We are always the students, once we think we have it perfected we loose the aim of the practice. Thank you again

[@le7062]

This is awesome!! There is beauty and science behind tradition. To understand that May take years so it is safe to just follow it as it is until we understand why poses are done a certain way.

[@irenehersk9302]

Brillent as usual David abd Jelena :)

[@Nae641]

You are so harmonious together, it is an extra joy to watch.

[@zpritomneni]

Thank you! Never thought about yoga being a meditative practise, but as something that prepares you for meditation, well when you said that now I think it will have an impact on my practices, recently actually I am quite distracted by thoughts when practicing.

[@claudiaalzamora5485]

I love this tutorials, so well explained and the way you both complement is just wonderful. I smile all the way until the end :) thank you!

[@samuelpolgar4764]

Sincere thanks to you David and Jelena. With each of your focused tutorials I feel my practice improving step by step, and my understanding deepen. We’re lucky to have you make these tutorials!

This is incredibly detailed and helpful 🙏🏼

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Thank you, glad to hear it's helpful 🤍

[@mwdayani1212]

Fantastic 👏

[@kristendawson273]

So many thanks. Your videos have helped my practice become more stable and strong. You both have opened up ashtanga for me as a meditation system. The video where you use the metronome has really transformed my focus. I'm really looking forward to the day I can practice with you two in person. Coming to Connecticut anytime soon? 😁 Or anywhere in the north eastern area of North America 😍🙏

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Hey Kristen, that's great to hear. Thank you so much for sharing your kind feedback with us. We don't have any plans to come to the US in the near future, but we will be hosting a few intensives at our home shala in Toronto, Canada. Maybe you can come up north? ❤

[@sanskritforyoga-brasstacks7359]

That's good teamwork!

[@leoc.8185]

Thank you very much for all the information you are giving, it would be nice if you can make a short video of each ashtanga pose like this one.🙏

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Hey Leo, thanks for the kind words :) We plan to add many more tutorials. We do also have an extensive library on our website of longer form courses that break down each pose of the Primary Series into much more details. www.davidandjelenayoga.com/courses/

[@andrewb4992]

The details in foot placement are very helpful. Can you do a pyramid pose video? Bc not sure on foot placement of that.

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Hey Andrew, glad you found this helpful. The feet are the same as in Trikonasana but we will do a video on it soon too :)

[@kattyroy]

You guys are the bestest :)

[@teodoravukovic4643]

I love your channel! Thank you so much! :) Could you make another video on jump throughs and that part of the flow with tips for progressions and maybe even additional exercises that could help one get there? I am terribly bad at that. Very grateful for your deep work and dedication!

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Hi Teodora, We've added one recently. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6LTk3iCipiWnrM

[@mirjambech463]

I just love your tutorial videos ❤🎉- they’re so informative and well explained. I will use them both in my own practice and when I teach yoga. How about a video on a fundamental pose like downward dog - because a lot of people struggle with the position of the arms and the wrists and well pretty much everything in that pose 😊

[@DavidandJelenaYoga]

Glad you like them! We have a few tutorials already on what you're requesting. :) *>> Check here for downward dog:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjUhWmibtOjhsk *>> Check here for arm positions:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWG9qn-MnZ2omJY *>> Check here for happy wrists:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3y9epmsgcl_r5I

[@spinbunny]

In the "twisted" B version of the pose my rear knee feels painful if I keep the rear foot perpendicular to the front foot. Is it okay to modify by turning the back foot to point slightly forward if it alleviates pressure on the knee?

[@blackplague-x3y]

The last reversed triangle was a very elegant twist. It seems without enough flexibility, the hips would not be able to align in a reversed triangle. Not sure I am explaining it correctly. I can't tell if my hips are dropping or not.

Meraviglioso il pezzo "la mia bellissima moglie". Ma quanto siete belli e bravi!!!!!

Hi Cecilia, Thank you for being here and for your kind words. All of our mats are Liforme and this is our favorite mat brand. They're super sticky and you don't need a mat towel. Plus they're biodegradable and environmentally friendly, unlike many other mat brands. :)

[@LearnEFTwithLucia]

Hi, I love the instructions but I am a bit confused now about you saying that the back foot stays right out instead of turning slightly towards the front. looking at all other videos on KZbin etc from the teachers of the teacher in India you mentioned they don't suggest that neither. I heard why and your reason you said it's just confusing that some say it's for beginners better to do 45 degrees inward. The old Indian videos have all their feet an angle towards the front. Modern Ashtanga seems to suggest to have it fully out not towards the front. Thank you.
