Wish more yoga instructors were as knowledgeable and careful about the human body in general and each practicioner's unique bodily abilities. Thank you for the videos!!
Thanks for this detailed explanation! As someone with fairly open hips and bad knees I appreciate calling attention to how to move into this pose. I have absolutely been guilty of moving into lotus without paying attention and pulling up on my shin.
Thank you so much! I learned a lot and will apply in my next class ❤
I was asking about the reason for the right leg first on your IG post, so it was super sweet to see that you mentioned this in your video. It's so nice how you follow up with your community. Thanks for your content, it's always so helpful!!
Thanks so much for being here!
Thankuu so much guys , your method of teaching is wonderful without injuring knees i did lotus pose..
Awesome now I'm comfortably numb
Thank you so much for this. My hips are so very tight but I am safely determined to open them.
Of all the yoga videos I have watched on padmasana, this was the most helpful and most detailed. Thank you for your careful, mindful instruction. I have convinced myself that I simply can never access full lotus, but after watching this, I think I am going to start over and see what happens. Thank you, you both are excellent teachers!
oh my God!,, thank you guys,,, we were so happy having you in Saudi and I was so grateful for attending the classes and workshops with you ( btw I was the one telling you about the arabe seat or جلسه عربي ) .. we can't wait for your next visit and training :) .. You helped me a lot with drop backs and leg behind the head
You are both amazing! Your explainations and breakdown of poses while being careful and mindful with the body at the forefront - is helping my practice so much! I love ashtanga but walked away as I'm in my 50's and I had a knee injury for over 18 months - unable to drive or walk - so my practice became yin and meditation. I have just started following your half primary and one week in I am seeing such a difference! Boy I was weak and had lost so much when two years ago I could 'almost' complete primary. I had also given up on padmasana so accepted my ashtanga practice going forward would be without it - so many modifications! You have given me the confidence to try again, slowly, with patience, a little everyday. Thank you so so much :)
Hi David and Jelena
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Having gone through the video, I now know that I haven’t made any mistake while entering the pose. As such the pain (not in the knees) which I endure, I know is a healthy pain. Thanks again, I think like me the other viewers are also attracted to your site by the trust that you two have gained.
Thank you so much! Now I understand why I somtimes feel pain in the inner side of my knee. Could you please also make a video on bound lotus pose? i find it difficult to get hold of both toes before bending forward.🙂
I wish I met yoga instructors like you. My knees would be much healthier. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge with us ❤️🙏
Your Instagram tutorial helped me safely get to padmasana for the first time at the end of my practice. 🙏🏻 Thank you! I have got so many good tips to improve my practice as an addition to my teacher's guidance.
Great tutorial! Woo hoo congrats on almost 50k 😍
You guys are awesome 😇
So true!! Love your videos! Ive been able to do padmasana since i was little with no trouble but when i started ashtanga and increased my frequency of getting into it and different ways of doing it, i developed a knee issue. I am more aware now
Thank you! Very helpful!
Wow, thanks so much. This tutorial was amazing, I was able to actually get into the pose and I thought it was going to take me years x
Thank you. Very helpful.
Many thanks for such a professional explanation. You are fantastic!!
Very helpful information, thanks.
Just pure love vibes🙏🙏🙏
What a wonderful video! Excellent step by step. You two are amazing 🤩
Great, thanks a lot for your explanation🙏🙏🙏
thank you💜🙏
I love your tutorials. This was so helpful with the tip about bringing the knee in over time and potentially causing irritation. I'm newly exploring an Ashtanga practice and am struggling with Garbha Pindasana & Kukkutasana (along with many other poses in the series. Ha). I've watched a few "how-to" videos out there, but would love to see the two of you offer some insight on how to get my arms inside my lotus and then safely rock and roll. Thanks for all your videos. You both make me laugh while bringing so much wisdom and knowledge.
Great information ❤. Have you ever done a session addressing Sciatica or ITB Band injury?
I find so precious this tutorial!!! It is precious as any tutorial of yours, as they can really avoid us to injures ourselves!!! So thank you very much!!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Your truth and excellent instructions are superb. Om Shanti Karen
Thanks❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have never been told how to do it properly and I certainly have always lifted my leg, knee, ankle etc... with great pain... I will try it first thing tomorrow morning. Thank you so much;
Excellent 🙏
I've been trying to do this for a year and I ALWAYS lift my leg and then have knee pain! I have watched so many videos and NO ONE has ever pointed this out. I will try to bring my foot in on the floor instead. Thank you so much!
I love you guys! You are amazing.
I would love to watch a video about ashtanga mantras 🥺❤️
Amazing explanation
Finally a name for my stretched ankles "sickle ankle"
So much closer to a comfortable Lotus
Incredibly useful
Thank you
thank you🙏
Hvala 🎉❤
This is really helpful, I randomly discovered that I can do the lotus yesterday but I was chaotic with how I approached it, this video is gonna save my knees so thank you lol 🤍
You're always lovely guys!! Thanks for this! Can you do a video on how to do urdhva dharunasana properly with the correct alignment?!
Thank you
こんにちは、いつも楽しく拝見しています。
私もパドマで膝を壊して、もう2年過ぎます。
今は、パドマはやっていないですが、アシュタンガを愛しています。
こう言った痛みに関する動画を作って頂き感謝しています。
Padmasana has been a challenge for me still, I appreciate this detailed explanation. I’ve watched a lot of tutorials on how to do it and followed it but no success yet. I’m excited to try this! How about Garbha Pindasana though? It seems impossible to push my hands thru with that tight Padmasana.
Great instructions...but how to fight the numb feeling? ❤❤❤
💛
❤
Can you do a follow up and explain a systematic way to get to Yoga Mudra? And thank you for this one, I can do Lotus easily but noticed I did it not the right way from the knees point of view
Jelena/David, this was really, really helpful. There were a few gems in here that will help my own “advanced” (hahaha) padmasana practice. Any chance of making it out to Hawaii for a live/in person workshop? Love your teaching styles. Mahalo nui loa. ♥️🤙🏽
is numbing really ok sensation to stay with? I thought it's happening because you pinching some nerves and that is not good?
Do yo u ever come to the u.s.(ny area)?
I have always struggled with the lotus pose. Is it more challenging for people with pear shaped body type?
When I’m in lotus my ankles hurt. Any advice?
Also my right knee doesn’t go down to the ground.
Knee joint movements: extension and flexion.. 😊
Yeah… not contraction🤪
I watch good
Hi David and Jelena, how about the left knee? Is it normal if it's lifted or should it touch the floor too like the right knee? Thank you ❤
Hi! It’s totally normal for the left knee to be a little off the floor when in the full lotus
I don't feel pain in my knees. The pain is on the tops of my feet, like they are being overstretched. Any tips for this?
My boyfriend just started practising yoga a few weeks ago. Almost all positions are super challenging for him, he is not flexible at all. But he can do full lotus pose😅 so can his sister and father who also don't practice yoga.
In some Buddha statues and instructions, we know that the ideal Padmasana pose is with the knees open and heels close to one another, almost touching, which creates more stability and is safer for the knees, ankles and hips.
Doing full lotus pose with the heels so distant to one another like in this video is wrong, don't buy it.
