I love you BAKASANA! BENEFITS ▪️increases end

I love you BAKASANA!

BENEFITS
▪️increases endurance and physical strength.
▪️It provides a good stretch for the upper and lower high back
▪️strengthens the core, forearm, wrists and shoulders

Here how to start working towards Crane pose:

1) Malasana squat to create the shape body memory

2) Place the knees into the armpits and Alternate foot lifts, one at a time

3) Place blocks underneath the upper arms and lift up the feet off the ground

4) Put one block in front of you and gently place the forehead on it, lift the feet. Often, we feel scared to tumble forward and by using a block we might break the fear

5) Use two blocks one on top of the other to help you feel like you are lifting off the ground.

Why is easier to help than be helped?

There is no shame in needing others.

I do ask every day. It doesn't make me a weak person but rather a strong woman that knows what she needs and wants.

What about you?

The journey to flexibility doesn't happen through brutal force but with daily progress and work.

Like in life we need to be kind to ourselves.

The secret sauce is PRACTICE

As a long time practitioner and teacher, I noticed that sometimes, challenging poses can be learned throughout other more accessible shapes.

Here 4 poses that will definitely help your body to prepare for the beautiful pose Super Soldier

1) Compass pose
2) Gate pose - Parighasana
3) Ardha Malasana
4) Standing split

How to enter Urdhva Kukkutasana from the tripod he

How to enter Urdhva Kukkutasana from the tripod headstand.

Step 1: Place the head on the floor, take a deep calming breath. Sometimes, it might happen to feel a rush of adrenaline. Don’t fight it, just calm the mind. Inhale, and Exhale.

Step 2: when the mind is calm, exhale and extend the legs right in front of you.

Step 3: Inhale, L shape, exhale

Step 4 : Inhale, press the legs up to Tripod Headstand. Exhale, and calm the mind

Step 5: Inhale, take the left leg slightly backward. Exhale, and bring the opposite leg into half lotus.

Step 6: Exhale, fold the other leg into padmasana. Wait till your mind is calm. Inhale, and suck the belly in.

Step 7: Exhale, slowly lower the legs. Try to place the knees inside the armpits, alternately on the triceps. Calm the mind.

Step 8: Push your body weight backward

Step 9: Lift the head from the floor. Don’t rush. It might not happen today, or tomorrow, but it will.

Step 10: Inhale, and fully extend the arms, engage the core, look forward and smile.

How to prepare for Alien pose Alien pose is a ver

How to prepare for Alien pose

Alien pose is a very challenging backbend and if you don't have a stable Urdhva Dhanurasana yet, I don't recommend you trying.

Here a few exercises I found really useful for Deepening the pose:

1) Table top at the wall (deep shoulders opener)
2) Puppy pose at the wall
3) Handstand hollowback at the wall
4) Handstand hollowback at the wall S shaped
5) Cat and cow pose
6) Puppy pose on the ground

BTW my OCD is killing me. I am learning to use a new device and seeing the mat so not in line with the Instagram square is killing me 😂

However, I decided to post it anyway
