    I love this practice, one of the few ashtanga shortened practices that actually is energising and not for beginners. The best one I've found. I'd love some more short form practices like this, especially one with the first part of second series. It's so helpful to put a video like this on when you're feeling a bit demotivated for self practice. Thank you both.

      I just started with Astanga , did and do other yoga, and this class was really great. I am working on the jumpthrough, and some other things, a reversed standing pose. I really like Astanga, l just found out!
      With gratidude!

    Your instructions and guidance through the entire video is just perfect. Thank you❤
    Love the fast pace shorter version you have for busy days, they are hard to find! Would be really, really happy if you made a similar version but with only one of the a-d versions of the asanas. Then you could go through the entire primary series in probably 45 minutes - it would be so amazing!

  • @andrewyoung222
    @andrewyoung222 Місяць тому

    This is the perfect top-up in a busy day where an hour or more just isn't possible. The edit of the Asanas is balanced so that the whole body still feels invigorated.

    • @andrew-t5u9t
      @andrew-t5u9t День тому

      Another option is David Swenson's short forms (on youtube or get the book) which skip through parts of the sequence and cover more seated poses. One thing I like about this sequence is you can regularly alternate it with half/full primaries without getting mixed up.

    Wow that sure woke me up! Great tips for someone on the edges of Ashtanga wanting to learn more. Surprisingly it was easier for me to follow some instructions and synch breaths at this speed than when slower, but I had to pause the video to get into a few of the more difficult postures. Thank you!

    @sarfransays Рік тому +6

    wooooow I loved it ! 😍 thank you !
    edit: I came back to add that I really loved this. at first I thought it was going to be too fast, but I modify for myself in ashtanga practice. I'll sometimes do Childs pose instead of downward dog, for example.
    I loved that the pace was so fast I didn't have time to think or doubt my positions. your cues were quick, to the point, and helpful. It really got me into my body and made me move with confidence!
    one thing I really miss in the short forms is headstanding! nobody includes them in their short forms. I think it is so good to include because it's so very rare to have occasions to put all that weight on top of the head. it is also very energizing. i usually do one myself after the video or pause the video. if you make another quick version, please consider including a brief headstand! or even matsiasana, as it has some weight on the crown.
    ❤ I appreciate you both so much. thank you so much for this, it really made my day and it will be a practice I suspect I will return to often!

    • @liberator2057
