Keep learning:
There are a plethora of online resources to study Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Here are links to some practices for beginners that you can use.
A good explanation of what Ashtanga Yoga is by Alexia K Yoga
A 20 minute example practice by Ashtanga Nurse. I like his vibe.
A 30 minute class by David and Jelena Yoga. This is more instructional. This teaches the sunsalutes and some of the first poses. I like this husband/wife duo. They have a ton of trainings. Use them liberally.
A 40 minute class by David and Jelena Yoga. They use a drum beat to help keep an even breath.
