Grasshopper Tutorial

Let's break down this very challenging arm balance.

What we need in order to properly perform Grasshopper pose:

◾Strong wrists and hands
◾Strong shoulders
◾Deep torsion of the torso
◾Deep hip opening

Here, I am showing a few ways you can achieve those requirements.

Videos:

▪️Wrists and hands warmup
▪️Hip opener: fire log pose
▪️Twist: Marichyasana C
▪️Twist + hip opener:
▪️4 shape pose + foot to ear
▪️Foot to armpit + twist to the side

Astavakrasana video tutorials The very first arm

Astavakrasana video tutorials

The very first arm balance I learned. In fact, it looks more challenging than it really is.

This is a great way to start our #LEVELUPARMBALANCE challenge.

Here showing:

Vid 1 How to enter Astavakrasana from Elephant trunk pose

Vid 2 if you wrists aren't ready or are injured, try baby Astavakrasana on your forearm

- Whenever we start practicing arm balance our first concern must be our hands and wrists. Creating strong hands and sturdy wrists is key for a healthy arm balance practice.

- Strong shoulders and core exercise

Astavakrasana requires a deep torsion of the torso here a few exercises for you

- Ardha Matsyendrasana
-Bharadvajasana
-Parsva Utkatasana

- Also getting comfortable on wrapping the legs with some Garudasana action

Some conditioning is always a good idea:

- Elephant trunk lifts
- Navasana pose emulating Astavakrasana legs

Tortoise pose is a reminder that the asana practice endives us with the strength and mental vigor we need to face challenges in life.

BENEFITS:

▪️Kurmasana improves the functioning of the digestive and respiratory systems
▪️It relaxes your neck, head, and shoulders
▪️It stimulates your abdominal organs
▪️Releases the tight knots in the lumbar and sacrum areas of your body

Chaturanga Dandasana - Four limbed staff pose Fou

Chaturanga Dandasana - Four limbed staff pose

Fourth position of the traditional Surya Namaskar A and B, CATVARI, is a challenging pose and requires our full body awareness.

✅Flat fingers on the mat, spread like starfish
❌Spider fingers

✅ Gaze forward
❌ Gaze between the hands

✅ Shoulders over the hands, broad collar' bones, open chest and chin up
❌ Shoulders above the hands, collapsed shoulders

✅ Lower back flat, tuck the tailbone, squeeze the butt and heels pushing forward
❌ Butt up, arched back and feet not engaged

To master Chaturanga Dandasana might take years, so let go of your ego and if you can't keep a straight line simply drop the knees on the floor.

Happy Sunday guys,

Yesterday, I had the first COVID-19 vaccine.

Unfortunately, I had a very violent reaction, with atrocious back pain, high fever, diarrhea, and at the moment I am in bed not able to move.

This won't stop me from getting my second jab.

The Vaccine saves lives and keeps others safe.

After a night screaming and crying I still believe "the vaccine is better than COVID-19"

Get vaccinated!

Traditional or creative practice?

Let's say that I used to be a traditionalist and now I do what my body and head need.

Life is already hard, on our mat we need more softness and fun.
