Perfect Protraction For Crow Pose

Perfect Protraction For Crow Pose

BAKASANA

PERFECT PROTRACTION FOR CROW POSE

When working toward perfect protraction for Crow Pose, it’s essential to understand the role of the serratus anterior, the “fingertip” muscles that wrap around the rib cage and attach to the inner edge of the shoulder blades. Matt describes them as the driving force behind any forward-pushing movement, from boxing to arm balances. These muscles are responsible for that “lifted” feeling when we press the floor away beneath us. Without this activation, the chest collapses, and the arms bear the brunt of the work. Learning to engage the serratus anterior transforms Crow Pose from a heavy arm balance into an integrated, buoyant experience where strength and lift coexist.

GET THE MECHANICS DOWN

Matt begins with a simple yet revealing wall drill. With the forearms placed at shoulder height, hands at forehead height, we practice retraction and protraction. This involves drawing the shoulder blades together, then pushing them apart. At this stage, the focus is precision, not power. The goal is to feel how the shoulder blades glide and wrap around the rib cage. This movement builds heat and sets the foundation for proper shoulder mechanics before any weight is added. By refining this awareness early on, we prepare our joints for stability and longevity in arm balances. Protraction becomes not just a motion, but a habit of intelligent movement that protects the shoulders from strain.

CHATURANGA & CROW PRACTICE

Translating this awareness into action, Matt layers in Chaturanga and Crow drills. In Chaturanga, we spread the fingers wide, slightly turn the hands out, and push down and in to fire up the serratus and pectoralis. This prevents the shoulders from collapsing forward and maintains lift through the upper back.
To reinforce this pattern, he takes us to the floor for Chaturanga on the back, using blocks or weights. Here, gravity works in reverse, and we feel how the scapulae widen as we “press up.” The transition from Chaturanga to Crow on the back trains the same coordination, knees hug in, tailbone tucks, and the upper body maintains protraction. These drills establish neuromuscular connection before Crow Pose ever touches the ground.

CROW POSE ON BLOCKS

Now, the mechanics meet the mat. Placing the feet on blocks removes the fear of balance so we can focus purely on shoulder control. Knees squeeze in, elbows hug inward, and hips lift high. Matt emphasizes that Crow Pose shouldn’t be just a head bob from the elbows; it’s a full body integration that begins with elevation of the hips and scapular movement.
We move through retraction and protraction at the top of the shape, feeling the difference between sinking and lifting. As we lean forward, the protraction deepens, allowing the shoulders to stay stable and light. A soft cushion in front provides peace of mind, but the real support comes from the strength of the serratus anterior; it’s the engine behind the lift.

PRACTICE OVER PERFECTION

Crow Pose mastery comes not from muscling through but from cultivating awareness in the shoulder stabilizers, core, and breath. Each layer, the wall drill, the Chaturanga sequence, and the block practice creates a more refined relationship between effort and control. Protraction is not a static position but an active expression of power that evolves with consistent attention.
In this “perfect protraction for Crow Pose” approach, success lies in understanding mechanics, not chasing shape. With repetition and focus, the shoulders learn to support the lift, transforming Crow Pose from something heavy to something that truly flies.

To break unhelpful patterns in the body, we need to train with intention. Matt’s upcoming online Bring the Heat immersion does just that; each practice blends mindful repetition with fire-building techniques that rewire strength, mobility, and endurance from the inside out.

King Pigeon Preparation

by Trisha Curling | Sep 11, 2025 | Main Page Display

King Pigeon Preparation

HIP OPENING

KING PIGEON PREPARATION

King Pigeon demands more than flexibility; it asks us to build carefully and deliberately. Progress comes not from leaping into the deepest version of the posture, but from cultivating strength, control, and awareness through smaller, intentional steps. This is where preparation becomes the key to sustainability, giving us the freedom to expand safely into the shape. Matt reminds us that when we take time to layer drills and explore smaller shapes first, we reduce the risk of strain and create safer biomechanics in our practice. Mastery isn’t about rushing, it’s impossible to bypass the process and expect sustainable results. The emphasis on preparation means we refine actions like scapular retraction, chest expansion, and hip mobility in progressive stages before attempting the full expression. With this approach, we not only protect our bodies from potential injury but also cultivate a deeper relationship with the pose itself. King Pigeon Preparation, then, becomes less about achievement and more about learning to honor the path toward mastery.

A LITTLE CAMEL TO START

Matt begins by guiding us through a small Camel Pose variation to prime the spine and shoulders. With one hand behind the head, he emphasizes lifting the armpit up and back, while pressing the ribs forward to expand the chest. The opposite shoulder externally rotates to broaden the posture. These actions awaken the upper body and prepare us for the heart opening mechanics needed in King Pigeon. The focus here is not about depth but about refining direction: chest lifting forward and upward while maintaining stability in the shoulders. By starting with this accessible backbend, we set the stage for more demanding postures without overwhelming the body. Matt highlights that this is where we can feel the relationship between shoulder placement and spinal extension, an essential part of the groundwork for safely evolving toward King Pigeon.

KING PIGEON PREPARATION: ESTABLISH A BASE FOR SAFE EXECUTION

KING PIGEON UPPER BODY

From Camel, we transition into a chair-supported drill that isolates the upper body mechanics of King Pigeon. With elbows on a chair, Matt instructs us to suction the armpits upward against gravity rather than collapsing downward. This effort prevents dumping into the shoulders and instead strengthens the supporting muscles of the upper back. He encourages pressing the elbows down and slightly inward, which frees the shoulders and creates more chest space. Here, the layering principle is clear: by practicing the action of lifting while lowering the chest, we develop both strength and mobility. It’s a reminder that King Pigeon is not achieved by flexibility alone—stability and activation play equal roles. This focused drill helps us condition the body to maintain openness in the chest while keeping the shoulders safe, a critical piece in preventing injury as we progress further.

WHEEL AT THE WALL

Next, Matt brings us to the wall to explore a Wheel variation that reinforces scapular positioning. Starting like a Bridge, he moves onto the crown of the head before shifting the weight toward the wall. The key here is to keep the armpits pulled back as the chest presses forward, creating space in the shoulder joint. He emphasizes that even as the elbows begin to straighten, we must resist letting the armpits drive forward, which would compromise alignment. The wall offers a valuable checkpoint; it supports our chest expansion while reminding us to maintain the controlled shoulder actions that protect against compression. Matt stresses that drills like this can often feel more challenging than the full pose because they demand such precision. Yet, this challenge is exactly what conditions us for stability and confidence when approaching King Pigeon.

VIRASANA VARIATION AS PREPARATION

Finally, Matt introduces a Virasana variation using a strap looped around the foot, offering another preparation pathway toward King Pigeon. This setup allows practitioners with different mobility ranges to access the shape safely while still working the essential actions. With the strap in place, he guides us to keep the elbows wide, the armpits pulling back, and the chest lifting forward. This mirrors the mechanics practiced earlier but adds the element of quadriceps lengthening and deeper backbend integration. By working within this supported variation, we refine the coordination needed for King Pigeon without forcing the body into positions it may not yet be ready for. Matt reminds us that preparation is not a detour but part of the destination. The layering of these drills strengthens our foundation so that when we do move into King Pigeon, we do so with integrity, awareness, and freedom.

In Matt’s upcoming online immersion called Deep Release this October, he will guide us through the intricacies of how to navigate pain and injury by ensuring that we more fully understand the biomechanics of our own bodies.

Build Towards A Bind

by Trisha Curling | Jul 17, 2025 | Main Page Display

Build Towards A Bind

MOBILITY

BUILD TOWARDS A BIND

I remember watching a clip on Matt’s Instagram years ago, breaking down how to achieve the bind in Side Angle. At the time, I was chasing the bind the only way I knew how—by trying to get “more open.” I thought the key was in pushing further, straining deeper. But every time I tried to force it, I could feel my body resisting and the potential for injury growing. Then Matt said something that stopped me: “Internally rotate to get under the leg first, bind, and then open the chest.” Internally rotate? It felt so backward. But I gave it a try. And it worked—immediately. I was hooked. That single shift reshaped everything. That’s the beauty of Chromatic Yoga—it’s not about chasing flexibility but cultivating clarity, structure, and progressive strength. When we build towards a bind, it’s not about forcing. It’s about strategizing. It’s about understanding.

CHROMATIC YOGA

Chromatic Yoga is not a style—it’s an intelligent system rooted in education and exploration. It’s designed to help us move through the practice step by step, anchored by awareness and strategy. When we build towards a bind, or any posture really, it’s the clarity of process that takes us there. Matt’s approach is inspired by the Koshas—the five layers of self. It’s a reminder that we’re not just muscles and bones, but energy, breath, intellect, and spirit too. By understanding and differentiating these layers, we can direct our energy and attention with precision. Our intellect—our buddhi—benefits from breaking things down into digestible steps. We learn to ask the right questions, to discern between physical challenge and mental resistance. This way, we move inward with purpose. When we explore a bind, we do it from the inside out—layer by layer, building both body and insight.

FORWARD FOLD SHOULDER DRILL

Matt opens the practice with a Forward Fold shoulder drill that begins the biomechanical journey toward a bind. While folded, we interlace the hands behind the back, initiating internal rotation in the shoulders. Pressing the thumbs together activates the rotator muscles and teaches the body coordination between internal and external movement. As we retract the shoulder blades and straighten the elbows, gravity helps draw the arms toward the ground, but we don’t surrender entirely—we press into the thumb side of the hand for isometric engagement. Coming to stand while keeping the arms lifted above the buttocks, we move dynamically between forward fold and upright chest expansion. This alternation wires the neuromuscular system to support a bind without passivity. The triceps, rear deltoids, and even the rhomboids come online. Strength, not just openness, becomes our guide. It’s a powerful, foundational step as we build towards a bind with stability.

BUILD TOWARDS A BIND: MOVE FROM PROCESS TO POTENTIAL

WHAT IF THERE’S TOO MUCH RESTRICTION?

When we explore Humble Warrior, the bind-like position behind the back can feel like a wall. For many of us, pressing the palms together isn’t accessible—and Matt explains why. Tightness in the anterior deltoids and pectoralis major may be the culprit, making it hard to broaden the chest enough to narrow the back body. But that doesn’t mean we’re blocked. Instead, we explore with a prop: a block placed between the hands behind the back. This increases the space between the arms, making the rotation accessible while still building strength and proprioception. As we squeeze the block, we learn the actions of the bind without forcing the shape. It’s a tool for re-patterning. Restriction isn’t the end of the road—it’s the beginning of better inquiry. Each adjustment and prop is an invitation to explore smarter, so we can safely build towards a bind, even in a modified form.

BOUND SIDE ANGLE

Now we’re ready to integrate the full mechanics of the bind. Matt demonstrates that the key to Bound Side Angle is starting with internal rotation in both arms. The lower we get, the more accessible the connection becomes. The front shoulder dips under the thigh, and the hand reaches around to the lower back. With that arm in place, the opposite hand finds the wrist or fingertips. Once the grip is secured, the pose evolves. We press down through the heel, initiate rotation through the pelvis and spine, and expand into the full external rotation of the upper body. Opening happens from the inside. Rather than forcing the shape, we flow through intelligent transitions. The bind becomes a result, not the goal. When we build towards a bind with sequencing, strength, and patience, we gain a deeper sense of embodiment and ease—fueled not by flexibility alone, but by integration and intention.

PLAN, PROCESS, PREVAIL

To build towards a bind is to plan, process, and prevail. Our plan begins with curiosity and information—learning about our bodies, gathering tools, and choosing our path. The process is where transformation lives: in drills, props, setbacks, and moments of insight. Sometimes the route we imagine isn’t the one that leads us to the bind—but that detour teaches us more than we expected. And prevailing? It’s not just about the clasp of the hands. It’s about choosing an approach that helps us move better, feel stronger, and understand our bodies with greater clarity. For me, it started with letting go of force and embracing internal rotation. That unexpected step back became a leap forward. When we commit to the plan, lean into the process, and trust ourselves enough to pivot when needed—we always prevail. Not just in the pose, but in our connection to practice, presence, and personal growth.

Take advantage and participate in the unfolding of the Chromatic process in Matt’s upcoming Scorpion 2-Hour Online Workshop.

Conquering Compass Pose

by Trisha Curling | Mar 27, 2025 | Main Page Display

Conquering Compass Pose

SURYA YANTRASANA

CONQUERING COMPASS POSE

Conquering Compass Pose isn’t about forcing your leg behind your shoulder—it’s about understanding and participating in the muscular coordination that makes the posture possible. The real power comes from engaging both the internal and external obliques on the same side of the body, creating lateral flexion (side bending) that allows the opposite side to expand and lengthen. Rather than passively falling into the shape, we use strategic contraction to unlock mobility. In Compass Pose, the lifted, lengthened side of the body isn’t just stretching—it’s actively lifting, a movement Matt describes as a coordinated effort between several muscle groups. This action doesn’t always come intuitively, so working in different planes of movement helps develop the body awareness needed to balance stability with flexibility. Through this approach, we shift from simply “achieving” the pose to exploring it with strength, control, and intention.

PRACTICE IN DIFFERENT PLANES

To better understand and access Compass Pose, Matt encourages us to practice the key actions in different planes of movement. When a posture is flipped in relation to gravity, its complexity shifts—sometimes making it easier, other times more challenging. In Compass Pose, the body is oriented with the head up and bottom down, making balance relatively manageable, but the flexibility demands, along with deep hip flexion of the lengthened leg are intense. By laterally tilting the pelvis, the lifted leg draws closer to the body, reducing strain and improving alignment. Exploring the pose in different orientations allows us to better isolate actions like lateral spinal flexion and pelvic movement. Matt begins with a more advanced variation that includes a balance challenge, activating the hip flexors in a way that builds both strength and coordination. These preparatory drills pave the way for more ease, control, and integration when approaching the full expression of Compass Pose.

WATCH THE VIDEO

CONQUERING COMPASS POSE: A JOURNEY OF STABILITY OF OPENNESS

YOGA TOE LOCK PREPARATION

In the first variation of Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana B (Yoga Toe Lock) that Matt demonstrates, the focus is on building hip flexor strength in the lifted leg while maintaining balance. Once stability is established, he introduces the element of lateral flexion, guiding the spine into a side bend that mirrors one of the key components of Compass Pose. Although the added challenge of balancing makes this variation more complex, it offers a powerful way to develop control and precision. This posture becomes a preview of Compass Pose—not identical in shape, but similar in intention. While the lifted leg doesn’t come quite as close to the torso, the emphasis remains on the lift and length of the open side of the body. Through this drill, we begin to sense the shape and effort required in Compass Pose, laying the groundwork for a more confident and connected approach.

JANU SIRSASANA PRACTICE

Unlike the Yoga Toe Lock variation, practicing Janu Sirsasana removes the challenge of balance and allows us to take the lengthened leg closer to the torso, essentially flipping Compass Pose onto its side. This grounded version provides more stability, making it easier to explore the key components of the posture without worrying about falling out. However, Matt reminds us that stability can also lead to passivity if we let gravity do all the work. Instead, we’re encouraged to move with intention, maintaining awareness of both compression and expansion along the sides of the body—an essential concept in conquering Compass Pose. As Matt progresses through deeper variations, he reintroduces the tilt of the pelvis, while also highlighting how we can press into the floor with the bottom arm to gain leverage and create lateral spinal flexion. This posture becomes a valuable tool for refining the strength and alignment needed for Compass Pose.

THE MAIN EVENT

In the final demonstration, Matt guides us through a clear, step-by-step journey into Compass Pose, beginning with the left leg lengthened. We start by bringing the left arm inside the leg and shifting onto the right hip, then lifting the heel and hiking the leg up. The right hand grabs the foot, and we internally rotate the left leg while keeping the right shoulder hugging into the socket for support. As we increase the internal rotation of the hip and lift the right thigh, we work toward straightening the left leg, with the option to rotate the torso back and let the left hip drop.

In Chromatic teachings, we are reminded that we don’t have to reach the final shape. We may pause at step one or two, and that’s enough. The true essence of conquering Compass Pose lies in showing up with curiosity, moving with intention, and embracing each part of the journey as a place of strength, learning, and growth.

Internal Rotation: Strengthen From The Inside Out

by Trisha Curling | Nov 21, 2024 | Main Page Display

Internal Rotation: Strengthen from the Inside Out

Shoulder Mobility

INTERNAL ROTATION: STRENGTHENING FROM THE INSIDE OUT

It’s not unusual for us to find ourselves spending too much time in a slouched position. It could be due to a job, our poor habits on our electronic devices, or difficult emotional periods. Being in this slouched position means that our shoulders are favouring internal rotation. It doesn’t mean that we should never be in this state; the anatomy of the shoulder absolutely allows for it. It’s when we are unconsciously, inactively allowing this posture to be our default that we can run into issues. This is why focused, intentional work is critical for overall shoulder health.

If shoulder internal rotation is the focus of a given practice, our approach must include more than just the internal rotators. The drills and techniques Matt provides in today’s video teach us not to leave anything behind when it comes to strength and overall mobility.

MOVE WITH PRECISION

Prone Drill

In the first drill we get a sense of how to find greater range almost immediately. Matt cues a lift in the armpit allows the humerus to move more freely in the joint. It helps to decrease the collision of the humerus with the acromion. Here, we work on control and stability which are also essential components of mobility.

Standing Drill

This is similar to the previous drill except that of course, we are standing. What we’re also doing is working through internal rotation along with external rotation but with both arms at the same time.

Practicing these drills help to build healthy patterning of movement along with deep strengthening and stability within the joint.

INTERNAL ROTATION: STRENGTHEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT: TRANSFORMATIVE DRILLS FOR INDESTRUCTIBLE SHOULDER HEALTH

SOCK DRILLS

What’s great about these shoulder internal rotation drills is that they can be easily integrated into our regular yoga practice and/or mobility work.

The sock drills Matt demonstrates in the video will test our endurance. As far as the anatomy is concerned, the two major muscles in the rotator cuff that create internal rotation (subscapularis and teres major) will be at work, along with the front deltoid muscles, the pectoralis major, and latissimus dorsi.

We really focus on latissimus dorsi in the second drill which is essentially a prone “lat pull down”. To increase the intensity of this drill, Matt instructs us to press down with our hands firmly. Latissimus Dorsi activation really sets in when we lift the armpits. The action of lifting the armpits, we come to realize, is an important one if we want to be successful in strengthening internal rotation of the shoulders.

SIDE ANGLE BIND OPTIONS

After preparing for optimal internal rotation of the shoulder through both strengthening and awareness of how to move, Side Angle pose with bind options really showcases the work we’ve done.

One of the key things is simply opportunity. If we set ourselves up “correctly”, then we provide ourselves with the opportunity to execute the necessary actions for success in the binding portion of this posture. The first thing is getting the shoulder under the front leg (which Matt demonstrates in a “humble warrior-like position”) in order to create enough space for the shoulder to move freely into internal rotation. This allows the arm to wrap around and for the hands to clasp/bind. What we also receive from Matt in the video, are 3 possible ways to engage with a bind. Engaging in these can be either practice or preparation. It all depends on where we are in the journey.

THE DEEP WORK ISN’T FANCY WORK

One of the things that’s great about Chromatic yoga is that you’re provided with the right tools for the “deep work”. We may understand that we need to work on a particular aspect of our practice, like “I know I need to work on internal rotation of the shoulder joint”, but we may not know exactly what to do. There are less questions about where to start with the Chromatic yoga approach. It doesn’t mean that we have all the answers right away, but we always have a starting point for exploration and it’s always about inserting ourselves in the right spot. From there, it means there is room for potential and growth.

Matt’s next online immersion Revelation is going to give you access to a plethora of techniques along the full spectrum of your asana practice. Register today in order to deepen your practice and realize your fullest potential.
