This ashtanga yoga class with Jeff is a slower flow with more attention to poses that are therapeutic and nourishing. It's a great class if you are new to ashtanga yoga or you are looking for a more gentle vinyasa yoga class.
Thanks this was nice i'm just restarting a yoga practice after years of neglect and challenging myself to do short daily videos before work. This was perfect!
I enjoy this in the evenings to relax and prepare for a good night's sleep. After being on my feet all day in the therapy world, I need something slow, relaxing, and gentle at the end of my day. Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking the pressure off. I have done this routine for five days and feel better already. I really appreciate hearing "it doesn't matter". Key words to a type A performer.
This is really interesting. Don't be fooled by the "nothing new under the sun" feeling you may have while doing this class; if you are anything like me, the fascinating stuff comes right after it: a pleasantly unfamiliar state of relaxation that keeps on unfolding for quite some time . Thanks! I'll be coming back.
This was the perfect class for restarting my practice after being cleared for exercise after surgery; I really like Jeff's approach to Ashtanga in the other classes on DYWM. It can be hard for me to take it easy as my body realigns. But this class felt just right. Thank you.
What a great class! I got about halfway through the hard core complete Ashtanga class and decided I needed to slow down! This was great! I will look forward to doing many more of your classes, and eventually be able to do the complete series! (well, whatever these old bones can handle!) Namaste Jeff!
I don’t know much about ashtanga, but needed a short class. I really liked this. A great wake-up practice to start my day. DYWM is so valuable during the pandemic! I would like to see more classes from Jeff.
Thank you, Jeff. I had a near death experience / emergency about 2-2.5 weeks ago. I am still recovering and needed my "yoga" fix.
I felt this would be a good, therapeutic practice. It was. Short but gave my body some much needed, gentle movement.
A gentle re-introduction to movement was exactly what I needed today; thank you for knowing and providing. (I'll seek more lessons from Jeff, for sure).
that is like a magic above all yoga practices i guess, even you suspect that it is ashtanga: ) at the bridge pose , i even did very little, my back had hurt. so every move is for three : is it a rule in ashtanga in general? or the paces? very much thank you to bring to world with these issues. it is a pure remedy i think.

I found this class very calming. However, since I am totally unfamiliar with this type of yoga, I found myself having to constantly twist and look at the screen to see what he was doing. Wish I new more about this style of yoga.
I took a Hatha yoga class many years ago (20+ or more) and am trying to get into some sort of regular yoga practice to relieve stress/tension. This was a great balance of gentleness and use of muscles in a mild strength-building way (the bridge and lifting butt of ground while seated cross-legged). Thank you so much for this! I will repeat this for a while until I feel ready to go further.
Doing this class was wonderful, but I wish there was a 90 minute version of this with all the forward bends, basic standing postures, floor work, core, backbends, and inversions.
I have a congenital back issue, and this was a great way to get in my daily practice even when my back was not being cooperative.
Thanks for understanding that some days all we can give is 20 minutes.
I practiced Ashtanga yoga for a couple of years a long time ago and have had a hard time getting back into it. This video is perfect for getting back into yoga in general and eventually build my Ashtanga practice back up. Thank you!
Today I knew I needed to move but was feeling so tired. This practiced showed up in the 20 minutes search of classes. Once I began I was wanting more! This woke me and centered me. Thank you, the class was a blessing.
Jeff, what a great stretch man! I really appreciate your gentle stress releasing flowing mannerism. I will seek out your other classes. Excellent. Perhaps my favourite of many dozen classes I have trained with on this site. Thank you. Zen
... even for experienced/intermediate yogis. I practice almost daily and I found that this morning I did not feel like going to my mat. Very tired, very lethargic, and experiencing some discomfort due to my cycle. This practice was exactly what I needed to get moving and too feel a little bit more energized to face my day. Much gratitude, Jeff. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Jeff. Needed a short, yet thorough, yet not too intense practice this morning after a first-for-season mountain bike tour yesterday. Namasté.

Jeff thank you for the patient and welcoming practice. It’s a saved class for when I want a solid grounding short one.

just the thing after a lot of writing today and a cold water dip- very chilled

Thanks for the gentle start to the day…..my achy body wasn’t in the mood to move any other way but gently this morning and this was perfect.

perfect for our little senior yoga group. Thanks!
A nice gentle way to start the day in the morning for those of us who are stiff as....!
Good morning wake up. Thank you.

Thanks you for a short wonderful class. Very relaxing yet also gets me moving in the am!
Very enjoyable lesson especially after work. Thank you

Loved this - so good after 39 straight days of practice (A challenge to myself as a fairly new practictioner) Thank you!
Such a wonderful class. Thank you for this!
Lovely class. Thank you for teaching.
Thank you - really nice short sequence to get me moving after heading back into practice and really sore from a few days in !
Thank you. Perfect practice for when your desire or ability for gymnastics feats have taken leave.

Jeff is an excellent teacher/guide for practices.

for the intention. A lovely slow stretching class for restarting the body. Enjoyed it.

Very relaxing, good one to do after a days work. I enjoyed the silence i.e. no music. Thank you
Doing this class was wonderful, but I wish there was a 90 minute version of this with all the forward bends, basic standing postures, floor work, core, backbends, and inversions.
That would be brilliant!
Namaste from Ireland.
VeryNice!
Just what I needed after overdoing my yoga yesterday. Thank you.
I really enjoyed it :)
I have a congenital back issue, and this was a great way to get in my daily practice even when my back was not being cooperative.
Thanks for understanding that some days all we can give is 20 minutes.
This is a perfect class for those days that are high flare days for chronic health issues. Gentle, easy pace, and healing.

Works perfectly for adding some movement in your day
I like to try classes I haven't tried before and this was perfect for a relaxed Sunday morning.
a beautifully presented gentle class
Thank you
Thanks, everyone for your comments. Enjoy your practice!
Thank you Jeff that was wonderful. Really helped, I really enjoyed class.
Thank you, Jeff. I found this works well alternated with Surya Namaskar A.
I really enjoyed Namaste!
Amazing
Namaste
Thank you, Jeff. Needed a short, yet thorough, yet not too intense practice this morning after a first-for-season mountain bike tour yesterday. Namasté.
Perfect for me as I try to regain mobility and strength after an extensive surgery. Thank you!!
This was a very healing, quiet, gentle practice. Perfect reminder that you don't always need to sweat.
