I've flirted with yoga in an irregular manner for the past few years, knowing that it is right for me, but never finding the correct focus until now. Ashtanga yoga as presented by David Swenson in a calm (not boring), caring and genuinely enthusiatic manner has truly caught me. The movement and breathing, unifying body, mind and environment seemed to have been the magic key. I would rank myself an intermediate beginner in things yoga and find the 30 minute workout approachable, yet challenging enough to take me down the road awhile. I also have Rodney Yee's Power Yoga DVD which although beautifully filmed, I found the pace too quick and poses too difficult. The lack of guidance was also disturbing. In contrast, David Swenson provides significant guidance for each pose, including breathing, physical warnings, attitude orientation and genuine encouragement without being "icky", as well as providing alternatives for beginner to advanced practitioners. The instruction is very clear which is especially important to those who have never had formal yoga instruction. Short Forms is beautifully filmed (although I actually swatted my tv a couple of times only to find it was one of many bees on David's side of the video) including superior tonal quality. I am very happy with my purchase and expect to use this video for a very long time. With enough practice and self-discipline I can finally move out of the beginner's ranks and perhaps even approach the full primary series. And hey, I just found out there's an Ashtanga class in English right here in Tokyo that I'm going to look into. Review: Yoga likes long forms - This set of short yoga classes is a compromise. It could be more or less useful if you have been practising yoga for a considerable period of time, but for beginners it is not that great. I found that the 45 minute program does not provide enough warm-up and, naturally, skips some postures, so I was not prepared for some asanas, my muscles were still somewhat tight and not warm enough to do the asanas comfortably. I still was able to do all the postures, it just did not feel quite right. You can use this DVD when there is no time and a short form would be better than no form at all, but, in my opinion, yoga likes long forms. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Doug Swenson | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 146 Reviews | | Format | DVD | | UPC | 978189125213 | ## Images ![YOGA SHORT FORMS The Practice Ashtanga Yoga David Swenson - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41km4grV1OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank You David Swenson! *by E***K on May 27, 2002* And many thanks also to those who had already reviewed Short Forms...I based my purchase on your opinions.

It could be more or less useful if you have been practising yoga for a considerable period of time, but for beginners it is not that great. I found that the 45 minute program does not provide enough warm-up and, naturally, skips some postures, so I was not prepared for some asanas, my muscles were still somewhat tight and not warm enough to do the asanas comfortably. I still was able to do all the postures, it just did not feel quite right. You can use this DVD when there is no time and a short form would be better than no form at all, but, in my opinion, yoga likes long forms. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good format but not enough flow *by R***L on December 9, 2010* The 30 min workout is quite mild, designed for beginners. It is easy to follow and has a relatively moderate pace. If you are up to some challenges, the 45 min workout incorporates more asanas. However, between each side of asana, there's no flow. I feel that there's not enough warm up for that workout and I feel rushed. If you are looking for a shorter Ashtanga workout, you can follow the primary series for all the standing poses, then take a few asana, then do the finishing poses without skipping the flow in between. It is important to have enough flow during the practice to really open up and receive the benefit of this yoga practice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8777883-yoga-short-forms-the-practice-ashtanga-yoga-david-swenson](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8777883-yoga-short-forms-the-practice-ashtanga-yoga-david-swenson) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
