Keep coming back to this class...and hopefully honoring Lesley by continuing to practice it. Thank you for the gift of these classes, which keep on giving to your devoted community. Rest peacefully, Lesley. -- a follower who has practiced with you from all over the world.
Turned the big 5.0 today and did this class as a first gift to myself. I did my first Ashtanga course a few weeks ago and have been doing your 30 min course every day since before work. I've been practicing for about 4 years and I'm so energized by this new practice. Thx to you Lesley and to your teacher and all that have worked to teach the Ashtanga practice!
I tried Ashtanga for the first time and IT FITS!! Also I noticed that it is a lot more strategic and disciplined as compared to the other flows ( love them too!). It was such a delight to hear Lesley chant the Sanskrit invocation. I am loving it.
Your three little videos have brought ashtanga to my life and for that I'm so grateful. All of your videos are great, but the ashtanga practices have taken me to a new place. Don't know how or when else I would have discovered it. Thank you Leslie, thank you!
This class was a beautiful and relaxing way to start my Sunday. Like many others who commented below, I find the Ashtanga practice so fulfilling and calming. Thank you, Lesley, for providing so many people with the gift of yoga! Namaste xxx
Incredible! I'm in tears as I type this. I am in YTT focusing on ashtanga and this was an absolute delight. I love you Leslie for all that you are and all that you do for our yoga community. I feel my lungs and mind more open and relaxed after this sacred practice. Wow this was just amazing. The light within me honors the light within you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Namaste!
+Gabi Drexler you're sooooo sweet! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the class and it's wonderful that you're studying Ashtanga in YTT...it's such a beautiful practice. :-)
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you 1000 times! I take your classes whenever I travel - that's quite often - and it's such a blessing to have them in the hustle and bustle of a wandering life! Love, peace, freedom to you.
Usually I have a hard time with Ashtanga's since we hold the poses but for some reason today my body needed this! I had no problem completing the whole video and I feel like jello ahhh. THANK YOU!
This is my favorite class, I feel it's the perfect measure for mind and body healing. Looking forward to the whole ashtanga course. Thanks Lesley for making Yoga accessible to everyone.
Fantastic! Medicine for everything. Did this after a busy day on a business trip in Asia and it work so well to wind down mentally and physically. Thank you
Thanks again lesley , your amazing , I avoid this class for long enough , today was the day , so awesome great 430 am class , peace thanks again for the 30 days ❤️👍👍👍
Thank you for such a beautiful practice. I practice these wiseful videos when my yoga classes are in holidays or in weekend. Or also, when I need the beautiful rythm of ashtanga, because I usually practice hatha yoga. Kisses and love from a Spanish lover follower.
Good morning Lesley! I just did this routine at 5am! I didn't know I did this routine a month ago until I saw my comments after I was done! Whole body feels so good! Thank you so so much! Have a wonderful day! :-)
Thank you Lesley for the wonderful practice! Loved the quote at the end as in 'yoga is medicine for the mind'. I study medicine myself and I wish more people could discover the healing benefits of the practice for the mind and body.
+Barba Beāte Miņajeva I think that's my new favorite quote. It's awesome that you study medicine and practice yoga!!! Thank you so much for the work you do! xx
thank you so much...I am not new to yoga, but I absolutely loved ashtanga "slowed down" a little..i got so much more out of the class when I could comfortably concentrate on the pose, breath and transitions ( not on stressing about keeping up the pace )...great
wooooweeee... EXACTLY what I needed. ~ Sincerely, busy yoga teacher struggling to keep up with her own practice. (Thank you for your grace and your gentle instruction, you are an inspiration!)
Thank you Lesley :) I had been away from Ashtanga for a while, as it's the most challenging yoga for my mind to handle- but boy does it pay off. Thank you :)
Loving the structure of Ashtanga! Something about the counting and breathing really helps to clear my mind and allows me to focus on the practice. So peaceful!
thank you much my dear Lesley. ...although i'm sick today but i couldn't hold myself back from seeing it, can't wait to get well so i practice it ..it gave me peace and high spirit. many blessings ❤ namaste 🙏
Thank you for helping find my Ashtanga practice again. It is such a gift to be able to do this at home with your guidance. Sending much gratitude your way.
This class was so very powerful to me, I really enjoyed the breathing for 5 in and out in each and every pose along, I don't think I had tried this style with you before. I truly thank you for your time and kindness for sharing this with us. I am 9 weeks pregnant and will continue to practice yoga as is always brought me a lot of peace within, I needed this class. I had an emotional release at the end.
+Marcela N Durante thank you so much for your message and congratulations on your pregnancy!!! I'm so glad that you're practicing with us. To be safe, be sure to lay off of jumping back and forward and when we do our twists, you twist in the opposite direction. :-) Happy Tuesday!
I usually only have a half hour to practice, but my schedule allowed me this class today - what a treat! I may have to see about permanently shifting my schedule around... :)
Just watched this through and it is the perfect speed and just the practice I had been looking for - thank you so much Lesley, massive gratitude! Cannot wait to try this evening.
Lesley, this was such a beautiful flow. I can't do a headstand yet, but I kept my breathing in check, and I am okay with what progress I've made. Thank you, and utmost blessings!
perfect moderately paced class, great transitions and i loved how you allowed us to take time breathing in each pose without it feeling slow. thank you!
Thank you Lesley for this video, it is not too hard and not too easy for me, Your yoga practices are always very nice, I like your Yoga, Namaste from France ;)
This was my first Ashtanga practice and I absolutely loved it. So calming and relaxing. Thank you so much Lesley :) The intro prayer was also lovely and your voice is very soothing and beautiful :)Namaste.
Thank you for this wonderful session! Done it a few times now and I get into a flow more and more every time. This is really soothing for body and mind. I am really looking forward to following ashtanga practice videos of yours. Have a great day and be blessed, Namaste! 🙏🏻
Thank you Lesley! I love all of your classes. You are the reason I love yoga and I have yoga practise on a daily basis! I have a request. Could you please make an indermidate class that would be really hard and drmanding :)
I was in the mood for a longer practice today, so I scanned your channel and found this one. Loved it. I liked the slower, deeper pace of it. Will definitely revisit this one, as well as checking out the other Ashtanga videos. Funnily enough, this was posted on my birthday. Must be fated.
Nice intro to Ashtanga. I must admit I enjoy the entire series of standing balances, but understand that this is an abbreviated class. Pace was perfect with nice, slow breaths. Thank you! Namaste-

First time trying Ashtanga. Felt the heat..
+Viviane Silva Vasconcellos Oh yeah! It's the original "hot yoga" and you don't need a heated room to feel it! :-)
