What an incredible video, I would love more beginner friendly half or full primary series where Jelena does the simplified poses (no lotus poses, no jump throughs to poses). 💌
OMG MEEE TOOOO!
Yes! A beginner friendly ashtanga video please! One that flows as an ashtanga class, but offers modifications too.
Though they're not David and Jelena, you may find it useful:th-cam.com/video/1Krp4W0TlAU/w-d-xo.html&feature=share
You can easily modify this flow as well. You dont have to jump back or flow forward, you just step back or step forward. Where Jelena is doing lotus, I do just a cross legged position instead. It works for every pose 👍 I do not consider myself a beginner, but modifications are big part of my practice and I try to listen to my body every day. If my wrists are sore from practice, I dont do jumps or arm balances and if I am tired I would also skip vinyasa between switching legs in seated positions. Consistency is more important than difficulty or volume of practice. Wishing you guys awesome practice ❤
Very good advice :)
For those of us who don’t have an ashtanga studio in the area, this is super helpful with all the tips in between each breath. Best ashtanga led class on TH-cam. Thank you ❤
Agreed
You all are so great! I love how David leads practice. Thank you.
Even by watching this I feel calm and relaxed ♥️ I’ve started yoga for a month now and I’m already in love with each and every movement
I am obsessed with the discipline that this practice ignites in me. Its so tough but I am determined to eventually be able to complete it when that time comes. Love and light to you all🙏🏽 namaste
I am picky with which ashtanga classes I like on TH-cam & yours is one of the best! Love the cues. Very helpful.
What a gift! Thank you, guys!🥰❤
Can you please do a full primary series?!? I love your calmness and ques!
Thank you for your kind feedback :) We'll be adding a full primary series very soon! Have received a lot of requests for it!
@@DavidandJelenaYogaplease do saludos desde Tijuana
Well done Jelena!!
David, you’re a sadist!! 😂😂😂
Nameste
💜🙏💜
David’s intricate cues and Jelena’s poses (and dimply smile) are the perfect way to begin the day on a happy, challenging, content full Ashtanga note❤
Merci beaucoup 🇨🇦💓🙏🏼
Our pleasure :)
Amazing strong practice. I am not in this level yet. Thanks
Hi Lolita, great to hear from you. Have you tried our beginners led class? th-cam.com/video/zYQSfHXWAS8/w-d-xo.html
This is fantastic, thank you.
Jelena's muscles flexing... I'm in love! 😍🥰
Thank you so much for leading this practice, and having it available via youtube! Simply amazing!
I just cried. I love this serie so much and thanks to you I improved a lot and now I am able to do almost all the postures and to hold them. This is INCREDIBLE.
Thanks for your videos, thanks for your advices and Im looking forward to meet you and practice with you. Hope your coming soon to Switzerland or that I will be able to come to Toronto. Thanks again and keep doing it you are great!
One of my favorite yogis! Always following you guys on instagram 🥰🥰 This is now my favorite half primary series video guide, thank you for sharing your practice. Namaste! 🙏
Wonderful to hear and glad you're enjoying this video :) We'll add a full primary class soon as well.
@@DavidandJelenaYoga jipiiiieeeeee :) thank you ♥︎
Thank you for this gift!😀
Thank you for giving the necessary tips... Each time I do it, I hear something new ! Thanks again!
You are so welcome! :)
Thank you!! It was great to have the closing chant at the end and to understand the count to squeeze in a good practice in under an hour 😊
Wonderful to hear you enjoyed it!
Second time! Definitely a keeper! ThanX much!
Awesome - so great to hear you're using this to help with your practice :)
I've missed my Ashtanga practice so much! Thank you so much for this
Our pleasure. Great to hear you're back on the mat! :)
I love the positive energy you two emanate - it makes you my favourite online teachers! ❤
Thank you Christina. Means a lot to us :)
Great, thanks for your videos. I would like more beginner friendly sessions with simplified poses/modifications. Namaste
wow I have never tried primary series. it is a strong practice. Jelena your strength, flexiblity and perfect form is inspiring. Thank you 🙏
It really is! But it gets easier with daily practice - keep it up!🙂
Really enjoy this class. Thank you!
You're so welcome :)
I am so happy that you have put the led half primary here David & Jelena
Thank you ver much! More videos please! I’m your avid fan from the Philippines
Jelena is a STRONG WOMAN!!! let's just say "I did my best!!!" smile thanks to both of you!!!
Wonderful, thank you! 🙏 Would love to see a tutorial on jump throughs -- specifically how to best set up and build enough strength to clear the floor.
Thanks for watching and for your suggestion. We'll be putting out a jump through & jump back tutorial soon :)
Hi David and Jlena! I was at a retreat with you in Italy in yoga in Salento and later in San Jose in California. I love your teaching and especially the short videos you make. Many thanks! May
I really thank you both for creating these tutorials. It is so helpful to me as I'm not able to come to class as often as I would like. They are great for keeping me on track in my practice and preventing injury and bad habits. I would like to see tutorials on trikonasana and janusirsasana; also information on preventing "yoga butt." I know a few people who've been afflicted (including me a couple of years ago). Thanks again for all your excellent help. You guys are great teachers!
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for the kind feedback and for the suggestions. We'll add these to the list for upcoming tutorials. :)
The studio I'm going to won't have classes until mid Jan, so this is helpful. Thank you!
As always perfect. Thanks for sharing. Although uptliftmysoulneverendingcount could’ve been faster😅
I can’t express how wonderful this practice is. Amazing thankyou!
Perfect class
Thank you so much!
I’ve commented before but just want to say thank you again for many months spent with you 3 mornings a week. Tremendous help and a perfect video. Namaste
Thank you for all these videos! Greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺, Budapest 🤗🤗🤗
you two are an amazing duo, thank you for this class, it was just what I needed
Thank you so much! That video is just what I looking for!
Thank you David and Jelena, I’ve significantly improved my practice with you clear instructions and flawless execution!
Hey Samuel - thanks for the feedback and great to hear our videos have been helpful for you :)
Favourite TH-cam channel ❤
Thank you so much :)
During this time of my life I am facing extreme life challenges on so many fronts. I hand’s practiced Ashtanga for a couple of years to dedicate to more Vinyasa and Martial Arts and just randomly came back to it. It is helping immensely. The repetition, the coming back to the same postures, the results in such a short time. I am at day 5 of consequent practice with this video and I feel so so good. Thank you for such a beautiful led class.
Thank you ❤
i love it!

29:29 janu shirshasana
48:13 Matyasana
Thank you!! :)
Your instruction and cues are amazing! I don't even have to look so I can focus on the movements. 🌞 Thank you so much!
Hands down one of the best YT yoga experiences. Thank you for this well guided ashtanga class!
Great video - clear speaking, precise and amazing camera clarity. Thank you very much!!!
You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I would love a half intermidiate & full inermidiate led class! I love your explenations and insights, I learn so much from your comments along the way in the practice! Gives me things to work with.
please upload full primary series....love from India
We'll be uploading it soon! :)
Thank you so much you are both amazing!!!please could you also upload a video with full led primary series?
Yes, we'll be adding one soon :)
I have been following this video for about a year now. Thank you so much 🖤
That's perfect just perfect for my home practice, thank you!
You're so welcome! :)
I’ve just found your channel and loved this class, perfect for someone who used to do ashtanga but hasn’t for a long time!
Loved this! Would love a 60 min beginners version, struggled with some of these so knowing easier variations would be great! X
Hi Katie, thanks for taking the class. We do also have a beginners led class that you can try here: th-cam.com/video/zYQSfHXWAS8/w-d-xo.html
Don’t that one 😊 would love a 60 min one as well 😉 x
Hi D & J. I Practised this class this morning from my home studio on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland in Australia. I saw some of the other comments about wanting a more beginner-friendly Ashtanga practise and although that resonates with me as I also love the beginner versions, I thought this practise was hands-down very welcoming, with great queues and as a yogin person who struggles with ashtanga because of my 6'2 size and body shape- I still practised along and got a great practise in with your help.
To be honest I love the standing part of the half primary and struggle with the floor. I have been attempting half primary for about 7 years now and still not getting better. I kind stay the same and give it a go when I am called anyway.
THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN. I have already shared this class with some of my yogi peers and will practise with you both again.
I’m your Peruvian follower. Thanks a lot! 🥰
thank you so much. Exactly the level and pace I was needing to find.
that was amazing and so helpfull, thank you so much ❤ i'd love to see you guys do a video where you focus on integrating/building up with the jump throughs, challenging and strengthening us to get there, but for when your not there yet.
This is excellent as I'm slowly easing my way back into a full primary series. Thank you!
I like yours videos so much. Tanks ❤
Really really nice practice video
Sooo Very Grateful for this !🥰💝
Thank you so much! The cues and breath counting are super on point which makes it easy to follow.
So grateful for this video
I practice with it regularly
In live classes I hear David’s cues and when I am just at my edge in a pose I can conjure up the shape of Jellina’s pose and make the tiniest adjustment to move forward
Thank you
Authentic Yoga on every level 😊
Wonderful video of uplifting instruction. I would also like to see a senior citizen version for those of us in our late 60s coming to Ashtanga. I will likely never be able to do a full jump back. However, very inspiring to see the strength and agility possible.
❣️ thank you for be my inspiration daily.
I started doing Ashtanga Half Primary a little over a year ago, following a different video, which I do love. I found this video when I went looking for details to deepen my understanding of the postures. This was just what I needed! Beautiful work. Thanks!
That's so great to hear. Happy that you found our channel :)
Great team here. Clear video, sound, instructions and demonstration! This is truly fantastic. Thank you, thank you! Namaste!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thanks both, the tips throughout alongside the demo were very helpful🙏
I swear it was like you were in the room with me - your cues were super helpful. Thank you!
Great pace and fab when you only have an hour to practice! Thank you both 🙏🙏
Much gratitude for this gift. Working my way back to a regular practice. Namaste ❤
This was my first time doing the Ashtanga primary series, and it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much
Amazing! Great to hear you enjoyed it!
You guys are great thank you so much for this. I keep
Coming to your video even though there are so many great ashtanga teacher on the web so we’ll explained and Jelena is amazing. Are you guys going to do video on the drishti? I think it need a very well explained video. I got one of my best practice because I was tired and all I could do was to focus more on breath and drishti. I thank you again for your generosity. Namaste
Really enjoyed. Grateful.
Loved the attention to detail like which leg on the top while jump in and jump through.
Not many teachers mention
.
Thanks so much
This is a great gift, especially when you live in a remote place without any ashtanga shala's to go to, thank you! Have you done a second half of primary video? I'm wanting to build up to full primary so a video on second half would be amazing. Thank you again and sending best wishes from Scotland x
Tengo 58 años y soy principiante pero tengo la esperanza de algún día lograr algo como esto que hacen ustedes.. FELICIDADES, SON ESTUPENDOS ❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful guidance and for making this available! 😍
Looking forward to your Full Primary and intermidiate Intoduction!
Thankyou, David and Jelena. I am in Fremantle, Western Australia, where it is quite difficult to access Ashtanga teachers. Your led videos have been transformative for me and I am so, so greatful that you made this effort to make them available online. Thankyou so much and I hope that your studio on Toronto continues to flourish!
I love you both! ❤
Even if I was really tired, I did my daily practice thanks to your guide.
I wish U a peaceful day.
💕🙏🏻🧘🏼♀️
I love that you give us beginner options for poses!! Thank you!
Thank you for the video, super useful to me, as I am trying to build up my practice, namaste
Wow..You two are fantstic. I really appreciate this . Learning from the best! Namaste
love you both!!!! OMG this is amazing miss you
Thanks Bryan! So happy to hear you liked it :)
Thank you guys! I really enjoy your classes! Where can I see the full primary serie? Come to Australia!!!!

th-cam.com/video/WmfV1K8AFJw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for the amazing amazing video... had been looking for something ashtanga for a while... since not able to continue my yoga classes this really helps !!
Our pleasure and glad you found our channel to support your practice :)
I don't know how to thank you. I've been doing this for a month now and I love how lovely you are and how manageable your counts for the breath. Thank you so much for putting your work here.
This was probably the most helpful beginner friendly Ashtanga PS that I’ve found, thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Wonderful ashtanga yoga class!!!!congratulations ❤❤
Oh guys thank you so much for this class. For me, was like a dream come true, I could feel the energy from the beginning and that is rare with TH-cam classes, but, the connection was incredible. I really love David indications, very clear and precise. Thank you again guys and for more classes like this. Muchas gracias, para mi fue como un sueño hecho realidad, pude sentir la energía desde el principio, lo cual es raro cuando haces clases de TH-cam, pero la conexión fue increíble. Amé las indicaciones de David, muy claras y precisas. Gracias de nuevo y por más clases como esta. Namasté. Sorry for my English, I am practicing my writing.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the class - we'll have more coming soon! :)
Just completed this, fantastic guidance, will be returning for sure.
This was wonderful! Thank you both so much!
I like your primary series videos by far the most for my home practice. Calm, clear and valuable clues from David, great technique from Jelena. Thank you!
thank you for your videos! please continue to make more!
Great ! So deeply grateful ❤
Thank you for the beautiful flow!
Its a great great video....its my 1st step towards ashtanga yoga...and within 1 week of practice i can do shirshana...just wow
So grateful for this! Thank you thank you
I just completed this practice, and it feels so amazing. Thank you for sharing, I plan to practice with you regularly.
