One of the most longest, tiring, emotional and painful practices I’ve had in my entire life. And yet, one I will be the most grateful for. I have learned many lessons from this singular session, and I truly appreciate you both for doing what you do. Please never stop and continue touching the lives of others like how you have. Namaste. Sending you blessings

Ashtanga is often called yoga therapy, yes it is hard and I use it as part of my shadow because it brings up trauma and fears.

@avivavyann5027 Жыл бұрын

Why do you force yourself into painful poses? I do not get that. Yoga is a pleasent walk not meant to hurt you.

@gustavoespinoza887 11 ай бұрын

i dont know if she meant as in emotionally painful, because personally it has been emotionally painful. instead of painful i would use challenging and or uncomfortable. the practice shouldn’t be painful but at one point it will be uncomfortable as are many events in our lives. i agree u shouldnt force yourself into poses but with continued and dedicated practice you might be able to do them one day.

Thank you SO much for posting this online. As a beginner, I am learning so much from your pointers and feel like I will continue to on my progression towards the harder poses and more frequent practice. This video has brought me so much joy and calmness and it is wonderful to know I am practicing with many others despite being in my living room. ✌🏻🌹

I don’t have an Ashtanga studio anywhere near me, which is so unfortunate. I practice at home now because the studios I have attended leave me wanting more. These videos are what opened my practice up to exactly what I was searching for physically AND mentally/spiritually. My dedication and discipline to my practice has been strengthened 10 fold. I practice 5-6 days a week and start my day with this practice. This yoga style has transformed my life, and I sincerely hope one day I will be able to make the journey to mysore. I am grateful for this video and hope to practice in person with Jelena and David! 🙏🏼💜✨Namaste ✨💜🙏🏼

It is truly amazing how much more motivated I am to do a 75-minute practice than a 90-minute one (-: THANK YOU for allowing me to keep up my ashtanga practice. I have a toddler and a baby and we moved far away from my old yoga studio, so traditional mysore opportunities are harder to come by these days--I am so grateful for your excellent cues and your embodiment of all the virtues of the practice!

Amazing... I practised ashtanga 8 yrs back and lost touch as we changed surroundings and situations. This is the first time it reminded me of my practice and first time carried through than my previous futile trials of getting the vigor and motivation back. Thanks gurus, the way you explain and maintain the tempo.

I had to modify at times but not that much which I was grateful for and the class was amazing. I am still learning to do the bow pose and need to do camel first before I can stretch up. Really active and challenging and the real Ashtanga. Thanks for sticking to the tradition which creates energy and peace. The cues really brought to light what to do that I never heard before especially on the twists. I can see that we progress with practice. Namaste.
