A while ago I read in Yoga Mala that the vinyasa to lift the legs into the air should be done while still holding the outsides of the feet. Have you tried it? Itโs super hard! ๐ Unless you have some helpโฆ ๐

โ๏ธ Donโt forget the vinyasa.
โ๏ธ Try your best to maintain the structure of the vinyasa count. Watch out for all the extra, unnecessary movements that creep into practice, especially as it gets more challenging.

โ๏ธ Donโt hyperextend your arms.
โ๏ธ Keep the shoulders healthy by internally rotating the upper arms and softening your elbows.
โ๏ธ Donโt drop the hips back.
โ๏ธ Try your best to keep your hips and thighs over the knees by pressing down through the tops of the feet and the shins.
How to do Urdhva Padmasana | Upward Lotus Pose in Ashtanga Yoga
Whether Urdhva Padmasana comes easy to you or you find it to be a challenge, you can access more comfort and ease during this restorative posture with a little guidance and some helpful tips.
In this tutorial, weโre showing you how to do URDHVA PADMASANA UPWARD LOTUS POSE from Ashtanga Yogaโs Closing Sequence. We break down each part of the pose with the traditional vinyasa cues and Sanskrit count and share how the focus during this final part of the practice is different from the rest. This pose has lots of options and youโll learn how you can find what feels best in your body, with modification for how to hold yourself up, what to do with your legs, and how to get into lotus. We also share what to do if you canโt currently put pressure on your neck so you can still practice this pose safely.

How to do Urdhva Dhanurasana | Upward Bow or Wheel Pose in Ashtanga Yoga
Moving into a pose like Urdhva Dhanurasana gives you an opportunity to build more self-awareness and open up the front line of the body, but without the correct alignment, it can be a challenging one to access.
In this tutorial, weโre showing you how to do URDHVA DHANURASANA UPWARD BOW or WHEEL POSE from Ashtanga Yogaโs Backbending Sequence . Youโll learn how to come into and out of the pose with the traditional vinyasa cues and Sanskrit count. Youโll also get a better understanding of how to set up your hands, where to put your feet, what to do with your hips before you even lift upโฆ and how to use the strength in your legs once youโre lifted. Weโll show you some common mistakes and what NOT to do so you can avoid issues like unsafe/poor alignment, instability, or low back compression. And of course, weโll show you what we recommend you do instead.

How to do Parsvottanasana | Intense Side Stretch Pose
Sometimes we need to relax the muscles to go deeper into a pose (…or use some momentum!) and practicing Parsvottanasana is a perfect example of how, and why, to do that.
In this tutorial, weโre showing you how to do PARSVOTTANASANA / INTENSE SIDE STRETCH POSE from Ashtanga Yogaโs Fundamental Sequence with the traditional vinyasa cues, Sanskrit counts, and coordinates for this pose. Youโll also learn variations to help you access this pose with more ease, cultivate more stability with different foot positions, and create more space for the arms (especially if your palms donโt quite touch yet!). Weโll share tips to guide you in finding proper alignment so you can avoid common mistakes and prevent injury to areas such as the knees and shoulders.
