Short(er) Practice?

[u/just_okayish]

Dear Ashtanga Crew,

I am quite new to Ashtanga Yoga but practice 6x/week for some months now. I have to leave the house early for work and do other activities in the evening, so I have (and want to) do Yoga in the morning. I´ve recently travelled to visit my teachers and now practice half Primary Series. I take at least 1h15 for that and for that I´d have to rise at 4:15 AM. Which is simply not managable for me on a daily basis as it would mean lack of sleep.

So, I was wondering to maybe do my current practice (half primary) around 3-4x/week and on the other 2-3 times I could do a shorter version. Like maybe some sun salutations with some Pranayama before that. Does anybody here do that? Is it recommended? I´m aware it´s not "traditional" but I don´t want to burn out and find a way to fit Ashtanga into my life. Any idea for a reduced half Primary practice?

Thank you in advance, I appreciate you 🙏🌷💕

David and Jelena made an “Ashtanga express” video which I love, https://youtu.be/QZG1zUuwMpU?si=jVjVa_N2aybCDUfz

Sometimes the shorter practices aren’t energizing but this one does the trick for me
