This is the 3rd in Jeff's 3-part series on ashtanga yoga for beginners. In this class, he takes you through a quicker version of surya namaskar a and b (sun salutations a and b), then through a sequence that teaches you the fundamental asanas (poses) in ashtanga yoga. Jeff's pacing and clear instruction allows this class to be accessible to anyone, regardless of your experience or level of practice.

I really enjoyed the video, but I had to watch it twice. The speed was fine, but sometimes I'd get confused about what was happening because he was using the names of poses without really describing them (which is tough for beginners who don't know names well yet). I ended up having to stop and look at him instead of just flowing through the poses, but once I got them, it was great, and the series is definitely something I will do again.

Yes, good point. The approach of an ashtanga teacher can feel quite different, due to the emphasis on the sanskrit pose names and the quicker sequencing. I'm glad you got it in the end!
