This guy is a legend. I still haven't found a better Ashtanga video series than these from David. All of them are amazing.

[@mariasittner3437]

Fully agree. My absolute favorite for home practice. So clear and calming.

[@manbat007]

Legend. Still the best yoga practice after decades. 🙏🏻

[@sanjayjoshi01]

David is one of the best Ashtanga teachers on. The. Planet. The clarity of his instructions, and how he keeps injecting confidence in the practitioner throughout is so great. Thank you David.

[@alfabrizio6005]

David Swenson, the Bob Ross of yoga. I love this man. Bought these DVDs and the spiral bound guide that goes with it many years ago. Still have the DVDs and the book. The book is still in print (Ashtanga Yoga The Practice Manual) for anyone who's interested. I think it's still sprial bound which is great because you can lay it flat and easily turn pages when practicing. It contains all of the poses, the 15, 30 and 45m routines as well as the first (primary) and second (intermediate) series. Very easy to use. Namaste.

[@islandbritt]

I really appreciate David's calm, realistic approach to yoga - reminding us to focus on the breath and listen to our bodies. Thank you!

[@shalinilal4835]

Just want to say Thank You!! For being my teacher... I learnt the primary series 15 years ago from your DVDs... These still remain my absolute favourite

[@kellieespie7106]

I’m so happy to have found this. I love that I can build my practice to a full one without feeling like I’m just doing the beginning of the full series and nothing else. Thank you!

[@gommine]

Like many others here, my first introduction to Ashtanga was through David's book and videos. This year, 'thanks' to the pandemic I've even been able to practice with him online. David, you're one of the most humble, kind, and funny yogis on earth. I'm looking forward to practising the Primary again with you this weekend.

[@estelkoole4044]

The best ashtanga teacher i’ve seen!

[@jayjaycoyote]

super short form version , thank you for your calm

[@energypositivestockholm4431]

Learning and practicing with David has been our go to for many many years. Something with David's voice, pédagogie and expertise that suits our souls. For ever grateful for having met your path, David.

[@peterclements6742]

My brother introduced me to this about four years ago, and I've been doing it every couple of days since. I never tire of it! I've tried other online yoga video, but nothing I've found measures up to give me the flexibility and strength elements I need to act as a foil to the sport I do. And of course the meditative component. Brilliant stuff

[@quirkyeye]

This guy is amazing! Used to use his DVD daily, great to rediscover and practice with those gentle tones and the best native flute savasana ever!

[@estebengrifo8160]

Thank you for making this available to us! 👍🏻

[@jeffreylung6165]

Like so many others, I keep coming back to this practice. I started with the dvds years ago and somehow misplaced them. So grateful to have found these so I can continue this practice again! Thank you David!

[@DianeWilsonVortex]

I love this practice, I have all his short forms, primary 2nd and 3rd series and the practice book. This is my favourite as it's great for keeping me supple and the instructors are perfect. It's fab to see all the short forms here 15, 30 and 45 mins practices. Great introduction to ashtanga yoga. No one has come close over the years for me.

[@shourjosarkar2058]

Amazing short practice...along with the excellent practice manual...it gives deep peace within.Thank you Mr Swenson...I am so lucky to practice with you.. 🙏🙏

[@iongradea3787]

Great ! Thx David ! Start : Surya Namaskar 9:00 : Standing Sequence 16:20 : Primary Series 26:40 : Finishing sequence (I think, less clear) 30:20 : Relaxation

[@sanjanaraghunath6216]

The 45 minute practice had been my go to for years, and 3 days ago, it disappeared. I would be more than happy to pay for streaming it, but it saddened me that the video was removed right in the middle of the COVID-19 lockdown. It might have helped more people at this time than at others. In any case, thank you for these videos as always, it is of great help. And thank you David for being your lovely self.

I have now all his books and do this teaching for years. Can not find a better explanation, or better teacher

[@TobySillence]

Thanks for sharing these. They are all brilliant! I’m doing yoga everyday thanks to these. 🙏🏻

[@charleeadams5105]

I'm so, so happy this is available online. I used to have these videos back in the 90s when I first began practicing yoga, and loved them so much. Since then, I've been on a long yoga journey and eventually become a teacher myself, and it's so great to come back to this and work through it again, with a different perspective. Thank you David, you're an awesome teacher, and you sparked a lifelong passion in me for yoga.

[@parthpeterpatel]

I love this its such a blessing

[@sarfransays]

david swenson, thank you so much for this. very grateful.

[@Glasshousebc]

For me, a Great session to get back into a regular practice. Many thanks.

[@meretesrheim4867]

Thank you David - love this practise 🙏🏻

[@emmah396]

This guy changed my life and my practice. So so glad to be able to re visit these great sessions which seem to bring something new every time I do them. Thank you!

[@LaoZi2023]

David's brother, Doug, changed my life and started me with yoga out in the woods in Lake Tahoe. Didn't know who he was, just some guy who worked in a health food store.

[@kristadouthett4474]

I have David's Short Forms DVD and it is definitely worth purchasing. It's great that this is available online, but the DVD has two three other practices as well. Plus, yoga teachers aren't gabillionaires, so please support their efforts to share the blessing of yoga instruction.

[@aparnamehta2794]

Thank you David, my Yoga teacher shared this video and I keep coming back to this class as we have been working from home. Helps me a lot. You are a great teacher and thank you for these videos.

[@tommanserable]

Savasana improved by the visualization of Dave's specially trained jazz-owls serenading me.

[@leonievig]

Namaste David, thank you for this practice! I enjoyed it very much! Savasana was great!

[@santokki.007]

Your teaching is *so* appreciated. Thank you for posting this, David : )

[@Clopezdelara]

I have been practicing so many times , and I’m still in love with this video.The voice invites me to enter in a meditate state. Thank you for sharing it again!

[@LaoZi2023]

His brother, Doug, also has a really nice, calming voice. I remember Doug's first caset that he put out with his book, 'Yoga Helps,' back in the eighties and I just fell in love with this atmosphere of relaxation, and healing.

[@viviandavalossuarez9561]

Gracias David! 🙏 Missed your calming voice these last days. I have watched this video a lot of times and suddenly it was gone. But, now your back into my life. ☺️🙏

[@chococat178]

I like the fact that there's no mat-just a Persian or Native American blanket on some wound reed.

[@emmawienmakela4595]

Thank you David! When i first got into ashanga yoga you helped me create self awareness and peace within. Still, 20 years later you take me back to where I need to be 🌻. Anyone know where I can find the music at the end?

[@DymokKumok]

Thak you!

[@FlavioVagnini]

I want to know what type of instrument is used in the relaxation part. Which type of specific flute is?

[@ivakosutic2796]

[@OlmoLungring]

Yeah, I also got surprised that the 45 minute practice disappeared! Why did you take it?
