Student Testimonials

“I’ve always loved the idea of meditating but I never know if I’m doing it “right.” I have a hard time bringing my focus back when my thoughts wander and then I tend to just give up. But this course is changing everything! I love David & Jelena’s style of teaching so when I saw they had this course, I didn’t hesitate to get it. The way they guide you in each exercise is so gentle and caring, like they’re right there with you taking you through the steps. And since there are pranayama exercises too, I finally decided to give that a try… and wow! I feel SO good. I’m so thankful they created this course!”

-Lynn

I’ve noticed a reduction in my stress levels, and I’m able to approach my daily life with more calm and focus. If you're looking for a gentle yet impactful way to begin your pranayama and meditation journey, this course is perfect!"

It has also given me the opportunity to maintain a regularity but also a certain motivation for my own practice, even to develop it.

Here’s what others have asked

Even a short practice can lead to big changes

Not 100% sure?

Maybe you’re curious about pranayama and meditation, but you don’t know if it’s truly worth the effort.

DJY_meditation in asana

These breathing and mindfulness exercises aren’t something we just made up - They’ve been passed down and taught for 1000s of years. And when we add them into our practice, they offer us something we innately desire: to feel connected, safe, and at ease.

It’s a more fulfilling way to walk through life.

And you don’t have to commit to hours a day, every day. It only takes a few minutes.

So, if you…

  • Desire a more grounded, calm, and balanced state of being in all aspects of life
  • Need guidance to help you tap into your breath safely and intentionally
  • Want to create a more holistic yoga practice but don’t know how to do it alone
  • Tried meditating before but can’t seem to stick with it

This is the next step to support your well-being.

How do we know this is so impactful?

These practices changed our lives too

pic by ellard vasen

Committing to a pranayama and meditation practice has been extremely beneficial to our overall well-being and it’s helped us deepen our sadhana, or daily spiritual practice. During our own personal Ashtanga asana practice, we even take a pause during the Closing Sequence to add these in!

Because it’s been so transformative for us, it’s something we actually teach to our in-person students every day. We get to witness the amazing changes it makes in their lives too.

That’s why we finally made this course for you. Even if we can’t see you in person, we believe you deserve to have access to the same teachings, backed by dedicated, knowledgeable teachers who are passionate about helping their students live the Ashtanga tradition.

We can’t imagine living life without these powerful practices. Now, you can experience the transformation too.

When it comes to your yoga journey, we’re grateful for the opportunity to support you.

With love,

David & Jelena
