My new favorite yoga teacher on KZbin

[@youaligned]

That's so sweet of you 🥰

[@oheyambrr]

I'm quite out of shape and a car accident a few months back prevents me from really working out at the gym so I've been getting very into yoga the last couple of months. I got halfway through this routine--it kicked my butt! My obliques were so sore the next day but in the best way. I'm so glad I found these videos. I'll definitely be saving them to keep coming back to!

[@youaligned]

Thank you Amber and sorry we missed this! So glad you found these videos too =)

[@orangeorphan]

Super tough! I like it!

[@youaligned]

Thanks for practicing with us!

Ashton your strength and practice is inspiring. I really want to strengthen my core, I found it challenging but fun. I realise I have much work to do! I found your style of teaching motivational. How many times a week would you reccomend that I practice this class to develop my core strength? Namaste :)

[@tjlawless8588]

Awesome, but tough for the hands, especially, doing the one hand on the side.

[@youaligned]

Sooo hard on the hand, lol

Just found you and am in my late seventys.....need this very much but would love to have something geared toward beginners at my age because I love how you explain everything !! Any classes geared toward late late starters?

[@ainedimascio1984]

Tanks for that Ashton, you give very clear instructions and put a great challenge together. Just one thing for me. I have trouble with downward dog. It could be to do with a weak upper vertebrae. I get pins and needles in my hands when I do it. Is child pose a good alternative or plank or what would you recommend? Thanks - Aine

[@youaligned]

Hey again Aine! So glad you're continuing to enjoy this challenge! And great question. Yes, Childs Pose is a great alternative to Down Dog if it's giving you problems (which I recommend you check in about this issue with your health care adviser). Best wishes!

[@FluencyAccentCoach]

I Have done the day 1 core challenge. That was really tough...

[@drjams03]

Hi there! That was fun and I managed to follow but since I'm a beginner and have been following your video of yoga flow for beginners, I got a bit stuck following the posture of 'fallen triangle' :( Also I wanted to ask that how long does it take for one to become somewhat proficient in yoga? I really don't wanna give up, so how much practise do you advise? Thanks!

[@unityyogamindbodyspirit7954]

I really loved the video but it felt like you kind of switched from the intro which was full of knowledge and information (I loved that!! Those little circles brought on the HEAT!!!) to later just kind of pushing through more exercised based yoga. An example was in hurdlers pose, you didn’t give much explanation on it or reminder of core engagement through many other postures/movements. It was still a nice class but it kind of switched from the beginning, being prepared for a lot of information in postures to a faster paced power yoga class. 🤷‍♀️

Empty stomach is necessary for yoga?????

[@youaligned]

Hello Maral, while an empty stomach is not necessarily a 'requirement' for your yoga practice, it's not ideal to practice on a full stomach so if you're able to eat and then wait a while before getting on your mat, that's the best approach. Namaste!
