David I am very new to yoga again!! I took yoga a few years ago. I am much older and I find it very difficult to get on and off the floor. I also cannot kneel on my legs as you taught in this a previous yoga videos. I sat on a large thick cushion. I now spread my knees wider apart and am able to do Childs pose. I did this video again this morning and it was somewhat easier!! I used a chair to help me get up after lunge. Thank you for breaking sun salutation down to the very basic and beginning elements!! I am grateful for this journey!!

Love the instruction.. David needs to speak louder, I struggle with hearing him even with my volumes up on high.

Thank you David, it was good to go back to the basics again. I feel so much more confident now and my understanding of the poses and breath is much more ingrained after this refresher course.
Namaste 🙏

I can't tell you how many yoga videos I've stopped over the years when they got to Sun Salutations and I got too frustrated to continue. The flow has always been too fast for me to follow safely and I have never been able to figure out the transitions from one movement to the next.. This video is perfect!! Thank you so much for your patient instruction, repetition of concepts, and suggested modifications. This morning was the first time I have actually been able to do Sun Salutations and I LOVED it!
