For those of you that want an Ashtanga Primary Series class, but found Alik's full-length 120 min Primary Series class too long or challenging, we made this Ashtanga Lite class just for you!

Yoga Chikitsa, the Sanskrit title for the Ashtanga Primary Series, means yoga therapy - a program that when done regularly (so the story goes) cures your ailments and purifies the physical body to make you ready for deeper yogic practice - both physical and meditative. This is a traditional style of yoga first introduced to the west by K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. It takes its name from the 8 limbed (or ashta-anga) system outlined by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra in 200 BC. Only one of Patanjali's limbs was concerned with the asanas (poses) and his treatise is primarily a roadmap toward meditation and enlightenment. Pattabhi Jois (and before him, his teacher Krishnamacharya) alleges that this system of asana practice is the practice of Patanjali.

Good class. Excellent guidance and explanations without excess talk or pauses. I lasted only through minute 38 my first time. I hope to build endurance during the winter months.

I have done this class several times and this is my second time doing the Ashtanga program. Alik is great. Very clear instruction, not excess talk. Its a great shorter version of the full series which even experienced practitioners may enjoy if you are short for time.

Highly recommend and will be back.

Just brilliant. About the breath counts being too quick I think it is actually clever because some practitioners get into poses quickee than others and tend to hold for their individual 5 counts...

Super clear and precise, good pace, quick breathing but its a shortened flow so it should be. Loved it!

I enjoyed this class as I was looking for a quick 1 hour practice. I usually practice ashtanga, so I found his breath count a little fast and 3 breaths not long enough.. however quite detailed instructions are given before the count begins in each pose so there was adequate time. I actually ended up doing my own practice (ashtanga to my own breath count) with the video running in the background and it worked out perfectly - got all my postures in and we merged at navasana. It is a great class for beginners or new to ashtanga with detailed variations

This was my first video since subscribing this week with a Living Social deal and it was wonderful. Very easy to follow and great modifications.

I really enjoyed this class. I found it quite challenging with the vinyasa flows in between the sitting down postures. Some poses were too hard with my bad knees, but over time with practice all poses should be accessible. The direction is really good throughout and the class is quite classic, although shortened and modified, from the full Ashtanga series.

I like be this shortened version! It was still challenging, but not impossible like a few of the full version poses are for me. Great length and very clear instruction, this is the type of class I would like to do daily.
