WELCOME to Day 5 of the 5-Day Sun Salutation Challenge.

3 alternatives for Urdhva Dhanurasana
Переглядів 4,3 тис.4 роки тому
In the Finishing Sequence of Ashtanga Yoga, we learn Urdhva Dhanurasana, a pretty challenging backbend that is inaccessible to many of us, especially for the first few months of practice. Just trying and failing repetitively will work for most people eventually, and bridge pose is a reasonable alternative for a while. But if there's a specific reason this pose is not working for you (e.g. a wri...

Hi there, I am amased by all your tutorials, thank you for these! I tried downloading your book, but the website does not seem to work.Is there an alternative place that I can get it from? Namaste ❤🙏
The audio halfway through 🙏
I asked Gemini to find me a good Ashtanga guided class and you were one of its recommendations! I'm so happy I found this video and you! Can't wait to watch other videos and learn more and practice more with you. Much love to you. All the best 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you very much for your video. This is the first time that I feel there might be an answer to my pain. I've been trying to strengthen my glutes while also doing ashtanga once a week but it still hurts a lot. I would like to ask you if you stopped practicing ashtanga while doing the hip program from upright health or did you do practice also aside and made variations? Thanks in advance and have a great day.
Thank you, I loved this strong and flowing class :)
❤️❤️🙏🏻
Not able to download the ebook from link in description. Link is not working. Can you please tell how to download it?
Hey Natalie- watched a few of your videos now on achieving the lotus position. I struggle to do hero pose not because of tightness in quads but the pain in my ankles as my ankle down sit flush with the ground- any tips please?
Women are simply great people

Lotus flow would be awesome. My only issue is my ankles when in lotus.
Thank you! I gave up on straightening the legs in Navasana a while ago but this seems to be a game changer :)

Thank you!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻🧘🏼♀️🪷
Do you happen to have a video that addresses what you can do for ankle pain when in lotus or simple crossed leg. I've had previous ankle injuries that have healed but my ankles are tight.
Excellent explanation!!!
Thanks for sharing. I am a Pilates & yoga instructor & have almost exactly the same issue. Recently diagnosed with FAI & now working through the upright health program. So glad to hear it worked for you, encouraging me to keep with it.
Nice job!
Thank youu for the video ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
this was so helpful thank you
hello! I am and always have really struggled to lift the leg just on its own. I never improve this... I don't think it's hamstring flexibility as i can keep my leg straight sitting or laying with my leg up. Its the strength i think, I would be interested in a sort of exercise i can do to strengthen the muscles to lift the leg higher while standing.
Hi Natalie, I’m new to Ashtanga yoga and am really enjoying these. I’m going to work my way through your other videos. Thank you! 🙏
My hip size is big and tight I tried many times to sit on the floor but failed 😭😭.
All poses are very good I am afraid if I can do 😞
Thank you very much, this was the best explanation❤
