Crow Pose: A New Approach
This demonstration was taken from The Elements of Mastery online immersion. The key points here are that activating the adductor muscles (muscles of the inner thighs) significantly helps to activate the deep core muscles. Instead of placing the knees in the armpits, the knees go outside. The shins are now on the shelf of the upper arm. This does require a good deal of hip flexibility, so this may not come easily to you. With the knees outside the arms, you can now squeeze into the shoulders to activate the adductors and deep core. The core muscles will help to fire up the serratus anterior muscles, which stabilize the shoulder girdle and give you the lift that makes arm balances light and easy. This approach will help you find ease in more arm balances and build the appropriate strength for transitions between arm balances and for handstands. If you haven’t read Arm Balances: Protraction Action yet, you can head there now or wait till it arrives in your in box in the upcoming weeks.
Handstand Training
Learn the techniques that make handstand fun, easy, and accessible! This collection of the top 12 most effective exercises will make you rethink how you approach handstand and what is possible.
The Art of Adjustments
This workshop is 1 of 2 parts taken from The Elements of Mastery online immersion. If you enjoy it, you will love the the online immersion. In EOM, I talk about the different qualities of touch and ways to give adjustments. Not all adjustment styles are suitable for everyone, and its important to be confident in what you are offering to your students. Be sure to practice these with a friend before working with students or strangers.
Elements of Mastery
For serious practitioners and yoga instructors, this online resource provides you with multiple online workshops, demonstrations, reading material, and worksheets to take you to the next level. This includes Art of Adjustments Part 2!
Core Strength
This video is taken from the Handstand Training online workshop. Core strength for handstand is not exactly what most people think. No matter how many crunches or sit-ups you do, your core strength will not be developed properly for handstand. This is because in those exercises, you are using the core for movement instead of as a stabilizer. In addition, exercises like crunches completely omit the rest of the body and isolate one small section. This approach can be beneficial sometimes, but in the case of handstand, your body needs to understand how to activate its core in relationship to the entire system. Here is one of the exercises that I find incredibly useful to build the appropriate core strength for handstand.
Dance With the Flames
Experience your potential by stepping into your fire. While the asana practice will build your strength, stability, and range of motion, the theme will leave you feeling inspired to take big steps in your life.
