Advanced Asana Practice

A scorpio unlocking the scorpion pose. This was a special moment for me, achieving Vrschikasana for the first time. It's a deep backbend and inversion that requires immense shoulder and spinal flexibility, and it felt like a true milestone.

This is a tutorial for Bakasana, or Crow Pose, a foundational arm balance. I break down the steps, from placing your hands to engaging your core and finding the point of balance to lift your feet off the floor.

Eka Pada Bakasana, or One Legged Crow Pose, is a challenging arm balance that builds on the foundation of Bakasana. The art of letting go of fear is your greatest strength when finding the balance to extend one leg back.

This is a variation of Eka Pada Bakasana, or Flying Crow Pose. The practice grows so beautifully when you let go of expectations and just approach it with love and curiosity.

Here is a tutorial for Astavakrasana, or Eight Angle Pose. This advanced arm balance strengthens the arms and wrists while building endurance and stability. I guide you from the seated setup into the final expression of the pose.

This is another look at the entry into Astavakrasana. This arm balance posture enhances focus and concentration, promoting mindfulness as you work to find your balance.

This tutorial shows the transition from a squatting twist into Parsva Bakasana (Side Crow) and then into Eka Pada Koundinyasana. This is an advanced flow that builds twisting, balancing, and strengthening skills.

Here is a tutorial for the Tripod Headstand. This advanced inversion strengthens the core, back, neck, and arms. I demonstrate how to create a stable base and safely lift your legs, always remembering to rest in Shashankasana (Child's Pose) afterward.

Unlocking a new variation is always a moment of gratitude. This is Baddha Hasta Sirsasana D, a bound hand headstand variation from the Ashtanga practice that requires significant shoulder opening and balance.
