this is an easier version of the salutation, it doesn't contain Chaturanga Dandasana which is the worst yoga position i've yet encountered

[yogagarden]

@hunkydoris Yes this is designed for beginners. Just do a little chaturanga every day and you're triceps will get with the program in about 3 months.

Your videos are exactly what I needed ! I ve been doing yoga for just two weeks now, but love it, would do it for hours, have to force myself to stop and finally leave house for work :) It would be great if you could post some new videos. You know how to explain things, you have nice voice and a good sense of humour ;) Thank you!

[yogagarden]

Don't burn out on yoga at the beginning! Take it slow and give yourself a lifetime to learn the postures.

[MOIISKA]

Absolutely awesome. Thank you. DO you have  specific breathing only video teaching and correcting how to breathe?

[yogagarden]

I'm thinking about making a breathing video now but it's a huge subject to cover in less than ten minutes...

[etheress]

Thank you for going into details. Very informative.

[hejtack]

How wonderful! beautiful and peaceful.

[EmYoussif]

Please post some videos about balance poses..

[davidjblanco]

[daynine79]

Thank you! I love your details...I always found downward facing dog to be uncomfortable until I saw this video.  Your tips for proper form helped me out a lot!

[asherswing]

wow the yoga teacher in this video is HOT

[stef5lt]

I'm new to yoga as well! How did you start out!? I'm just starting now :) Any advice?

[stef5lt]

I've been wanting to get into yoga for years. I haven't taken any yoga classes yet, but I have a little fun book for beginners and today I decided to youtube Sun Salutations. I'm quite glad that I did! :) Thank you, Patrick & Takako. This seems like a great guide for newbies! I feel like I want to have some sort of idea as to what I'm doing before I jump into any classes and make a fool of myself! I'd love to see more! Especially videos of the breathing :)

Thank you for your comment. Still hungry for more videos...:)(I appreciate the "zen ones" too!)

[MOIISKA]

Oh, I absolutely agree. You might be able to make a couple of videos. I notice that most people struggle with the breathing. Mine is improving, but often I find myself reverting to a less stellar breathing habit when I get tired.
