Im going to have to seek another beginners video to do it with as though it explains it well, with the practice part it moves too fast for some of us beginners and I cant keep up with it so end up getting lost on what to do next so then need to stop what Im doing and go back on the video. Not everyone has a good memory and will remember the flow of movements from the explanation part.

[@ruthdeaton5709]

This explanation was perfect for my teen, who's not into the deep meditation or yogi aspect, but more into the specific holds and body poses. She's easing into exercise after an injury and this gave her courage!

[@youaligned]

We're so happy to hear that Ruth! Hope she keeps it up and may she have a speedy recovery :)

[@fireflyhaze4938]

I used to really enjoy yoga when I was younger. I have since had chronic illness and now want to get back into it. I really liked how the instructor brought up suggestions of how to make the pose less challenging and emphasised that it's a practice that grows with you. It has made me feel more confident about starting again. Thank you.

[@davidsmith7456]

Thank you thank you thank you. You made more sense out of the Sun Salutation than anyone ever has. I watched the vid three times in a row. First time I just watched it and took in all the information I could as you presented it. Went slowly through the routine the second time since I was trying to apply the energy in the way you outlined (brand new approach. It seems I was just kind of dead arming my movements) But the third time, the third time I went through the entire routine with you allow energy as you prescribed. It made such a huge difference. I do not know what I doing that I was calling Sun Salutation before seeing this vid but it was not what is taught here! This introduction to the implementation of focus is such a game-changer. My practice, thanks to you and the kindness you have shown by making this teaching vid available for free here on KZbin, just got 100% better. Thank you once again. Namaste.

[@minesthrone7897]

I think this is the best sun salutation lesson I've ever seen, with explanations, pose names and slow movements so beginners can actually follow along! This is something many teachers forget... 😐 So thank you so much! 🙏🏻 Love from Italy 🧡

How can anyone dislike this video? It is clear, gentle, fluid and pretty. I’ve been trying to figure out where to start with a yoga flow sequence and this is perfect! ✨

Because she is teaching wrongly....the poses (asanas) are not done correctly according to Yoga teachings. It can have a detrimental effect rather than promote health to your body!

[@Jenx3989]

Thank you for the excellent instructions, step by step! I didn't realize that I had been doing some of the poses incorrectly, or not as "actively engaged" as I should have. This helped me understand the importance of proper pose, even while doing the simple mountain pose, which looks like just standing, or the plank pose, which I thought was supposed to be straight from other non-yoga exercise. I'm new to yoga and now I can't go to any physical classes under COVID, so this is by far the best online yoga instruction I have found on how to do the Sun Salutation! Namaste!

[@violethorsewoman]

This video was offered some time ago but a great instruction for beginner yoga practitioners. I’ve been exposed to many instructors teaching the Sun Salutation over let’s say 35 plus years. This is bar none the best! What makes it outstanding in my estimation is the encouraging directions for those who need to modify in order to do this at all. Also the emphasis on care with head positioning. Very excellent. Once the muscle memory is there even with modifications this salutation can flow to a beautiful morning ritual with music. What a great way to launch into your day!

[@youaligned]

WOW! Thank you so much for this kind feedback! It warms my heart and feeds my soul and spirit to know that a class that is years old now is still relevant and doing so much good for folks out there in the world.

Namaste, Anthony! Thank you for sharing your feedback and for practicing with me on YogiApproved! =) First to answer your question, 'spiral your pinkies forward' means when your arms are overhead, to rotate your forearms, wrists and palms towards your face (which in turn will move or spiral your pinkies inward). This keeps your arms engaged. So glad you're enjoying this practice! -Ashton

I have been doing hatha yoga for many years. I absolutely loved your sun salutation video, the biggest reason being you take the time to explain what your body should be doing in each pose! So many people starting out with the practice don’t know these things, and so many instructors don’t explain well enough. I don’t think people get the benefits this way, and can actually hurt themselves! Thank you so very much!

You teach everything so well! You break-down the poses and proper alignment for each one very clearly. Do you have your own channel?

You are so wonderful! Thank you so much for this. You are an excellent teacher and you have such a gentle, accepting vibe! Yoga can feel pretty intimidating to me and you made it feel so simple and helped me to catch a vision of what my progress could look like (and to be OK with where I'm starting). Thank you!

Thank you so much for the way you broke down the moves before beginning! I tried another video prior to this one and the instructor didn’t explain anything before starting her “beginner” routine. It made me so frustrated trying to keep up with her fast pace as she half heartedly explained the breathing and nothing else as she was actively doing the moves. I felt like I was failing and it was my fault because I couldn’t follow along, and I decided to quit her video halfway through and when I came to yours and you went through each move in slow motion and explained what to do with each part of my body, I felt the way my body engaged and I felt confident in my positions so I wasn’t constantly looking to your form for confirmation and I was able to follow along with the actual pace of the Sun salutation when you did it at the end and I felt very successful in my first try at yoga even though I’m not super flexible yet!!! I felt my muscles stretching and worked up a little sweat even lol I feel amazing!!! 😍 Thank you for making yoga accessible and easy to learn!!!

WOW! We're so glad you found this video Autumn! Online yoga is definitely not a one-size-fits-all mechanism, so we're happy to hear you kept trying and found a video that worked for you!! We hope you will practice with us again, whether it's this video or a new one. Namaste

Thank you. I am revisiting moving my body at 60. I had a very fit young adulthood and then stopped all of it. I see how weak I have become. This will help!

Namaste, Vision Flow. I love hearing this and I'm so glad that you found this video! Enjoy and feel free to comment with questions etc. Thank you! Ashton from YogiApproved

[@annayllop]

Thanks so much for your feedback, Anna vanB!! Namaste =)

First time i did it it was HORRIBLE. I was afraid to come back here. Downward facing dog is super challenging for me now, but i tried. The second time it was hard, but when we entered the flow I actually connected the breaths! Wow! Definitely will come back to this video again. Thank you for posting

[@youaligned]

Keep coming back! Do what you can, take breaks when you need to, and modify or back off from the poses as needed. You will build strength over time. Great job!! Namaste, Ashton from YogiApproved
