Thank you for this video! Especially loved what you said about patience!!

Glad that you get to learn and practice Ashtanga yoga there in Austria. I'm based in Bombay, India and I've known about Ashtanga yoga since 2011 but never could do a regular practice coz the KPJAYI which is the only institution that boasts of being the source of Ashtanga yoga does absolutely nothing to spread the knowledge of ashtanga yoga among us indians. That school in Mysore, where most some of the most famous Ashtanga Yoga practitioners and teachers from all over the world goes to every year, has become so popular and commercialized that it tends to cater to people who can spend months in Mysore and can afford the fees. Hence you'd mostly see the Americans and Europeans thronging the streets of Mysore from Oct to March. Very very few Indian teachers teaching ashtanga here in india and the ones teaching are super expensive. Also Sharath Rangaswamy (who is currently worshipped as 'param guru') and his predecessor Pattabhi Jois who is called the "founder of ashtanga yoga" have only been traveling to exotic locations and major metropolitans especially in the west since the last 3-4 decades. They haven't bothered to conduct a single workshop here in any other city in india except Mysore where they run their shala. Exactly why I don't see Ashtanga Yoga as a spiritual practice anymore. Coz even the so called "gurus" of ashtanga yoga are interested in catering to the dollar and euro spending crowd. Hence many Indians like myself who aspire to learn this style are left with no option but to practice basic asanas with the help of an ashtanga yoga manual You are lucky to have been born in the West. As Ashtanga Yoga has become a material luxury, it is easily made available and accessible to you guys

I needed to see this! Thanks 😊 🙏 🥰

Thanks for your inspiring videos! I also practice ashtanga yoga (but i's been only about a year) and I absolutely love how minimalistic it is - you don't need any equipment except the mat, and a couple of blocks.

Hi my fellow Ashtangi! I've also been practicing for a while now. So glad you are enjoying the benefits. If you ever come to Chicago, we have a couple of great Mysore style teachers at Yogaview and Yoga Now studios.

I love this! I relate so much to this, learning patience and compassion with myself and others especially. I have been trying to practice ashtanga, but it has been such a struggle to find the time and motivation to practice so rigorously, but I know at some point i will get into a daily practice. Thank you for sharing and helping to inspire others!😊

Thank you for inspiring me to start ashtanga yoga! I have been doing it for two months now in a weekly class and I am starting to make the same connections with life. Eventually I would like to be doing it daily at home also. :)

It’s changed my life too

Thanks for your experience! Have you read any yoga books? I'm a beginner and have no idea what each yoga is meant for, and don't know what book to read to start with :)

In another video you said you practice for 30 mins daily, when I practice it usually takes me about two hours to do the full primary series, do you practice a specific secuence of the series or do you do some asanas of each secuence?

Do you follow Sadhguru at all?

What was the posture??

Is it good for every day

:)
