I stumbled upon this video randomly searching for beginner Ashtanga, hoping to get back into practice after many years away. Cued it up, and dove straight into it. Struggled a bit, sweated, but kept breathing, and by the time I was at Shavasana I felt a calming ease that I had not felt in a long time. I am now in tears reading the comments. Rest in peace, Leslie. Thank you for your gift, your legacy lives on. Namaste.

As a classical ballet dancer, yoga has always been very challenging. Ballet is all about holding tension in the body to appear light and lifted, whereas yoga focuses on breathing through poses and allowing gravity to hold you. I always disliked yoga because it was so different from how my ballet body has been trained to move, but I really am learning to love this practice. Ashtanga is so centering, both in the mind and body.

+bethaknee t. No matter what yoga you do, you still have to go at your own pace. This class is more like all levels yoga because obviously that arm balance in lotus at the end is NOT a beginner posture! This class just allows a *range* which is a great introduction to primary series compared to the complete practice. Just watch a demo of the primary series from someone who practices the higher series (like second and so forth). The real way that primary series is taught by a teacher in person is that the teacher teaches you a few postures at a time. You would not start by practicing all postures at one, unless perhaps you are super experienced at vinyasa and know most of the postures already. Even then, ashtanga is very different, and most people are taught it one posture at a time. Then over time you do all postures at once in a complete form. I learned the primary series in person from a teacher and that is why I use these videos as a lead primary series practice for all levels. However, it is really not wise to do this class if you are a true beginner. You can injure yourself by doing the posture right, especially chaturanga dandasana and Sarvangasana, among many others. Just be careful and start with one posture at a time.

+bethaknee t. No matter what yoga you do, you still have to go at your own pace. This class is more like all levels yoga because obviously that arm balance in lotus at the end is NOT a beginner posture! This class just allows a *range* which is a great introduction to primary series compared to the complete practice. Just watch a demo of the primary series from someone who practices the higher series (like second and so forth), and you will clearly see that this is indeed an intro to ashtanga primary. The real way that primary series is taught by a teacher in person is that the teacher teaches you a few postures at a time. You would not start by practicing all postures at once, unless perhaps you are super experienced at vinyasa and know most of the postures already. Even then, ashtanga is very different, and most people are taught it one posture at a time. Then over time you do all postures at once in a complete form.

This was my first time trying this one. I really liked it. Question: What does it mean to “seal in the practice”? Thanks in advance

It means to keep the energy that you created for you, instead of letutingj it flee

Wonderful yoga sequence Lesley. I love everything about it: how you put the asanas together, how you give very clear and details cues, and your voice, most of all. May your soul be always pampered by love and peace.

After practicing the full 1.5 hour first series for some time, I realized that I was sitting still for much of it because I have yet to achieve inversions and several of the later posture. This video is pretty much perfect for where I'm at and still very challenging. It's so cool that you're just putting this stuff on youtube for the people :)

I did Ashtanga many years ago and fell out of practice. I am glad to have found it again. I have been practicing everyday for the past week and I hope to continue doing it and graduate to the 1.5 hr Primary Series!

I just started with this class with her and wanted to tell her how much her teaching is helping me get started in Ashtanga. I’m mortified to find she died. I plan to do this class more. No words at this moment but do know her spirit moved on to a higher place. 🙏🙏🙏
