Advanced Yoga Poses & Flexibility Training
Ready to move beyond the basics? We focus on building the strength and stability required for inversions and deep stretches safely. Progress here is about patience, not just the pose.
Every big pose starts with small, consistent steps. This video breaks down the progression for Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand), from building shoulder strength in Dolphin Pose to using a wall for support.
In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to safely learn Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand). Using props like a yoga strap and the wall can help beginners build confidence and proper alignment.
This video provides a step-by-step tutorial for mastering Pincha Mayurasana. We start with Ardha Pincha Mayurasana (Dolphin Pose) to build strength, then use the wall to practice kicking up safely.
The journey to Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand) involves building strength, balance, and focus. This video shows the practice, from the initial setup to finding stillness in the pose.
This is me practicing Pincha Mayurasana in a park. This forearm stand is a challenging inversion that builds incredible upper body strength and focus. It reminds me that everyone has a reason for stepping onto the mat.
Still kicking into headstand? There's a safer way. This video demonstrates how to enter Sirsasana with control, using core strength to lift the legs instead of momentum. Join my classes to learn with confidence.
"Do your practice and all is coming." This quote by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is my mantra. Here, I'm practicing a handstand, a pose that requires immense dedication, patience, and trust in the process.
About this collection
You don't need to be naturally flexible to start these advanced flows. My approach uses props like yoga straps and wall support to build your strength and confidence slowly, ensuring you avoid the common mistakes that lead to injuries in inversions.
Advanced practice is not about showing off. Whether you are working towards a Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand) or mastering Hanumanasana (Front Splits), the goal remains the same: strength, focus, and body awareness.
Why Technique Matters
Inversions like forearm stands and handstands are demanding. Without proper alignment, you rely on momentum, which leads to injury. We start with foundational poses like Dolphin Pose to build shoulder stability. I teach you to use the wall not as a crutch, but as a tool for spatial awareness. Once your shoulders and core are stable, you can safely kick up without fear.
The Science of Flexibility
Splits aren't just about hamstrings. We work on the hip flexors and quadriceps to release deep-seated tension. If you're a runner or spend hours sitting at a desk, this is essential. We use dynamic flows, never forced stretching.
Action Over Results
As the Bhagavad Gita teaches, focus on the duty, not the fruit. When you practice, don't obsess over when you'll hit the full split or hold a handstand for a minute. Focus on the breath, the engagement, and the consistency. If you show up and do the work, the results follow naturally. My sessions in Nandhini Layout and online are structured to get you there at your own pace.
