Ashtanga Yoga: Fundamental Asanas

Thank you very much for this partial Ashtanga practice. It's challenging enough for the transition between advanced beginner to intermediate, working the core through the legs. I will definitely incorporate this into my daily practices. Namaste from Ireland.

This is a great quick workout! The pacing is wonderful and what a good teacher. A good solid intermediate class!

This is the first class I've tried with Jeff -- I have some familiarity with Ashtanga, and having done a lot of other power/vinyasa classes on DYWM, it wasn't a stretch to do this one straight away. Great pace. Jeff does the full variation of some poses, but I didn't feel the pressure to get there (full lotus, "levitate" for 10 breaths, then jump back to plank -- absolutely not there yet!) It was nice to see how far one can go, though ; I feel it helps me set goals and to try my best to attain them with practice. I also very much appreciated Jeff's gentle, calm coaching voice, and the counting was such a great reminder to keep my breath steady. I will keep this class in my regular rotation for sure! Thank you so much Jeff.

Great, authentic style. Love the classes taught by this teacher. Mahalo nui loa for keeping the practice real!

To the rest of the folks who find this class or style challenging, the instructor does clearly state to pause the video and/or to go back to earlier sessions, rather than to become overwhelmed. Like allgood things, Ashtanga yoga takes time, patience with self and a warm space is always nice, even for those of us from Hawai'i.

I'm fairly new to ashtanga yoga and this was the perfect intro class to get familiar with the more common poses. I'm looking forward to trying the more advanced classes in this series!

I appreciate how clear and systematic this series has been. The emphasis on breath, reinforcement of fundamentals, and the delineating how one advances through the asanas are all compelling. Jeff is an excellent instructor. I could imagine an N-part series along the same lines. I'm willing to bet a lot of time-strapped folks including myself would gravitate toward such a thing ;)

DYWM is doing an amazing service. Many thanks.

Good to see - and do - an alternative in the classic Ashtanga style here at DYWM with Jeff.
Great teacher and very clear, yet this one was definitely an Intermediate (and even as such would be good to have an alert to do the building up classes first for alternative poses).
So yes, I vote also for re-classifying it (was it added under Mercury retro (Dec 2 - 22)? Ha-ha...
Thanks for bringing Jeff on board, DYWM team, looking forward to more classes with him.
