I’m a beginner myself, only just over one year. If you don’t have access to a teacher, there are some really good tutorials that helped me:

Purple Valley overall has loads of great tutorials.

Also, David Guarrigues: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Va_P61H9IY - Mark Darby demo shows beginner adjustments https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2MghjERHHG8 - David Swenson short forms are a good when you are a bit short of time (or strength 😊) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf4mjtnSA40 (this one is 30 min - there’s a longer one too).

On that note I found David Swenson practice manual really useful https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ashtanga-Yoga-Practice-David-Swenson/dp/1891252089/ as well as Gregor Mahele’s one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ashtanga-Yoga-Philosophy-Gregor-Maehle/dp/1577316061

It gets easier with time. Modify as needed. I still can’t do the 2 revolved ones you mention without modifying :) the important thing is the breath. Enjoy!
