I'm a total noob to yoga, but after two months of doing this practice 3-5 days a week, I have FINALLY made it through the entire series without stopping!! Yay!!
In college, ashtanga yoga was one of the physical education credits I took and it took the class the whole semester to really get through all of it together successfully. You're doing awesome, please keep up with it! It's such an accomplishment to start the day with
I have been following your primary series for 3 weeks straight. I only take Saturday off. 2 weeks in, it cured my right shoulder pain that has been bothering me for 3 years... 60 downward dog practice throughout. Who would have thought..... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
I came across this video by complete accident, but as it happens I am fortunate enough to actually go to Clayton Horton's Ashtanga Classes in Hong Kong. Watching this video is the same as enjoying one of his classes with the added bonus that you get to see a master in action. If you happen to live in Hong Kong and you have been thinking about signing up to his classes - stop thinking & just DO IT!!
One of my favorite practices with an amazing teacher. I lived at the Yoga Society Brahmananda Ashram for 2 years right after you left wish I could have practiced with you. Namaste.
If only I had access to this as a teenager! I watch the student with envy. At 62, I’ve done yoga classes twice a week for 8 years, and daily for 3 months. Daily practice has helped a lot. I will add some of these poses to my routine. Beautiful video 🙏
Hey, I am 65 now...been doing Ashtanga primary series practice off and on for roughly 20 years or so. Was glad to find this video as there are not any Ashtanga studios around to practice in anymore that I know of out here in the Seattle/Kitsap area. Though this practice is pretty intensive, the body doesn't forget how to stretch into these postures and the steady deep breathing really helps too!
I am so happy I was magically brought to your practice /your channel during Covid19; I was having trouble always doing my practice alone, but your soothing voice, your direction, the music, I felt like I was practicing with you and I wasn't alone . Peace to you , my new yoga online soul mate :) see you tomorrow morning ! Namaste
Just the right video for me at this time! Thank you Clayton! I got so side tracked with the pandemic and having had to move and my Ashtanga practice got lost in the shuffle! Still there are no Ashtanga studios around these parts anymore so I am all the more grateful for this straight forward video!
YES! Thanks Clayton to energize my Sunday morning... it's a year now I came back to your classes. Miss the led one! Hope to get you in for my upcoming Ashtanga Workshop in Germany. Namasté
Thank you so much for adding in the English names of the poses as I am new to the ashtanga series. This video is the only one I could find on UA-cam that actually had this feature.
excellent addition to my collection of online classes to accompany my daily practice. I am a students of David and Shelley Swenson but have now resorted to using online supplements in between workshops.
Love this.... old incredible faithful from an incredible teacher but recently it’s been infected with ads.... tried everything but it’s really hard to enjoy now... popping up every couple of minutes to skip ad.
Simply wonderful in all aspects! This is my daily go to for my practice now hands down. Thanks so much to all that put time and effort into making such a seamless video. I find myself looking forward to the next practice now daily thanks to the work you and your team put into this! Many thanks!!
Thank you so much for sharing your practice with us. I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer and use your video every Friday in my site for my guided practice as I've found it to be one that most resembles a real class. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! I have been trying to start an ashtanga practice but have found many guides too overwhelming/intimidating to follow along in full. This was just right for me. I have been practicing to this video all week and have felt at peace with myself after practice, looking forward to the next day's session. Thank you for your generosity.
This is great! Very good explanation. I love how you use the terminology AND explain in simple English. Thank you thank you thank you! I can't always remember what each word means, this is great.
I just found this video... I can practice at home or anywhere when I cannot book his class since it is always waiting list and full...Thank you for sharing!!
My favorite practice on youtube. I keep coming back to it every week. Your voice is so soothing, which is so needed sometimes in ashtanga. The music is top too! Would be great if there was no adds in the finishing sequence though 😅 Thank you so much for sharing this practice.
Great teacher!! Awesome video and great thorough instructions!!!! Although, I’m a total beginner so I can’t really handle this. Would love if you could make an intro/beginner video!!! 🙂😉
What an amazing video, guidance and music!!! The best I've seen.. It's perfect! you've saved my practice!! Every time I finish the session I want to press "like", but I liked it once already! :)))) ❤️
Thank you .This is the best ashtanga primary series video I have come across. Ideal for when I can't make a class. Excellent guidance, I love the music and that you do backbends too. Namaste.
Thank you for this video. Everything is perfect: the posters, music, your soft voice. Before i found you it was just 2 ashtanga videos i could practice with. Om
Wonderful class which I very much enjoyed practicing along 🙏🏼I wish there was a bell at the very end... to mark the end of the class... or perhaps Clayton's voice gently bringing us back from Savasana. Instead, I was woken up by the next UA-cam video that was following this one and it startled me, ha!
thank you for sharing your practice. I have enjoyed practicing along side this video even though my breathing is a little slower than your counting. At first I found the the music a little distracting but most of the time I didn't even notice it. Thank you!
I am practicing with this video 3-4 times a week for few months now. I really love it and I thank you for this. I am wondering if there is a version of this video without the background music?
Thank You! I really like your pace! I have been practicing for 7 years I have osteoarthritis in my right hip. Which I have had for 10 years. This practice saved my hip, practicing 3 to 5 times week. I am losing flexibility in my hip it seem as of lately. No more lotus on that side and limited external rotation. What should I stay away from so it does not progress as fast. Namaste 🙏🏽
hi Rob, For the half lotus poses, do a modification. In the seated half lotus poses, just put your foot and ankle on the ground, not in half lotus. Also do long Baddhakonasna, cobbler's pose. Hope this helps. Also, Do some stretching movements in the swimming pool (anti gravity)

Thank you for the amazing video Clayton. Well executed, great narrations/ queues and subtle music. Arguably the best yoga practice video on YT
Best yoga video on youtube. Thank you so much!
agree
this is wonderful; the terminology, voice, music, rhythm... thank you :)
I LOVE this video. Clayton, you are an awesome guide and teacher. Recently, though, ads ruin your class by running every 10 minutes. Too bad...😔
I was waiting in head stand for the commercials to end. blah
perfect timing, not too fast, not slow, amazing music!
My favorite practice on youtube. I keep coming back to it every week.
Your voice is so soothing, which is so needed sometimes in ashtanga. The music is top too!
Would be great if there was no adds in the finishing sequence though 😅
Thank you so much for sharing this practice.
Great teacher!! Awesome video and great thorough instructions!!!! Although, I’m a total beginner so I can’t really handle this. Would love if you could make an intro/beginner video!!! 🙂😉
