Two New DVD's From David

 

This is a technologically and visually updated version of the original video that was released in 1995. There are many new features to make it much more user-friendly and easier to use. I offer explanations for many alternatives to the more challenging asanas as well as a discussion of the basic 5 Elements of the Ashtanga yoga practice:

Breath, Bandhas, Asana, Drishti and Vinyasa. 

Who It's For:

Students moving beyond short forms: A clear bridge to the full Primary, with step-by-step options and safe modifications for the tougher poses.

Home practitioners: A structured, teacher-led rhythm (count, breath, drishti) so your practice stays consistent even without a live room.

Yoga teachers: A reliable reference for teaching yoga-sequencing, alternatives, and the 5 Elements (Breath, Bandhas, Asana, Drishti, Vinyasa) to share with students.

Sustainable progress seekers: Build stamina and focus without overload; pacing, prop tips, and alignment checkpoints help you deepen steadily and avoid injury.

 

 

This is a slightly longer version of the Short Forms Yoga programs that I produced about a decade ago. The original ones contain 3 routines of 15, 30 and 45 minutes each. This new one is a fully conducted flow of Half of the First Series that takes One Hour and Eight Minutes hence the title of the program. It is a wonderful progression from the 45-minute flow yet does not require the same stamina, strength and time as the Full First Series. This production also contains the Alternatives and 5 Elements features in yoga.

Who It's For 

Graduates of the 45-minute short forms ready to stretch capacity to a guided 1:08 flow.

Busy practitioners wanting a complete, balanced session that fits real schedules.

Returners or cross-trainers rebuilding endurance with intelligent progressions and alternatives.

Teachers seeking a clean model for Half Primary count, cues, and assists to support teaching yoga with clarity.
