I am returning to Yoga and trying to start a daily practice. This was a fantastic class to kickstart my practice. Adi, I always love your classes. Namaste :)

If this was an introduction to Ashtanga, it didn't feel like it save for explanations at the beginning and towards the end. I completely agree with a previous reviewer that there is no time to align yourself in a pose. Adi's regular and even advanced Ashtanga classes give you more time to get into the pose and talk about bandhas throughout each pose. I won't be coming back to this one.

My hamstrings thank you! I loved the whole practice, and even though I couldn't lift myself off of the floor at the end, I really enjoyed the steam engine breath. Great focus on breath throughout, and I enjoyed the counting because it kept me honest.

thanks for this. on the second Sun Salutation series, I really got my heart rate up, yet I ended the session feeling very peaceful. Sounds like the perfect yoga session to me!

I did not enjoy this class as much as I do the others on Yoga Today. I don't feel like she gives you enough time to ensure proper alignment before moving into the next pose, nor does she prompt you to properly align your bones.

Thank you for leading a beautiful practice.

I loved the pace. It begins with breathing and ends with breathing-a wonderful complete class. It had challenges for me-but it's good to be challenged. Thanks.

Thank you Adi, this was very much a balanced and complete class. I particularly enjoyed your explanations about the Ashtanga system and the pace of the class. Thanks a lot!

this class was perfect for me after being down all last week with a "bug", and not being able to do yoga. It was gentle, yet challenging. The instruction was great and Adi's message at the beginning spoke to the heart. Thanks Adi!

I liked the explanation on the Ashtanga system, the practice made me feel energetic and calm as always, thanks Adi you are a great teacher!!!

The class starts off slow and then becomes more challenging half way through. Great instructions and I like the educational and philosophy aspect.

I obviously am a beginner because the thought of completing the entire series in one class scares me. I appreciate the opportunity to dabble in it though and am gaining insight and confidence each time. Thank You Adi.

This class was a wonderful introduction to the Primary Series. It's slow enough for you to really pay attention to your breath, but fast enough so that you are never bored. Plus the seated bend at the end is fantastic!

This starts slow and focuses on the standing sequence, but only the basic poses. The seated sequence is short, followed by 3 asana in the finishing sequence. Definitely good for beginners to this discipline.

Starts off slow, and then really picks up. Lots of great instruction. Amazing how a few little instructions can transform a pose.

Everytime I completed a workout with Adi, I would learn something new and this time there is no exception. Thank you for developing such a wonderful workout. The explanation accompanied each pose has helped me understand the essence of Asthanga yoga even further. Thanks again for everything and Namaste.
