You are correct with the Sanskrit. Most western yoga practices call crow pose “bakasana” so I went with what more of my students would recognize in this video

I definitely think it would be really helpful to be able to handstand before this or at least have some control on your handstand kick ups.

Let me know how it goes!

Hello@@TateEnglundYoga I tried this morning but didn't succeed. My knees touch the ground before I have time to do chaturunga... Have to try again 😁 ( just started ashtanga 54 days ago...)

@@Yogabienetreetpaillettes Nice work giving it a go! It takes practice to develop the skill and strength. I would keep practicing the tip I include towards the end of keeping the toes down. Build the jump back strength/control and then try it from crow with the toes lifted

Thank you ​@@TateEnglundYoga🙏 I will follow you also on IG.

Great! I'll look for you over there

You may want to find a strap that connects them in the back so they don’t fall off when you’re upside down.

@@TateEnglundYoga do you prefer to wear glasses with a strap or with contacts?

@user-ic9vg6pw4o I don’t have to wear glasses but my wife wears contacts when she practices.

That’s great!!

I’m sorry you’re dealing with pain. Where exactly in the knee are you feeling it? Center of the kneecap, back of knee, etc?

@@TateEnglundYoga Center of the kneecap I'd say.

In the lunge poses is it the back leg as well? Is it when the back knee is in contact with the mat, lifted or both?

@@TateEnglundYoga yup, its the back leg as well, when it's in nearing contact or in contact with the mat :(

@mrta3725 have you tried padding the knee with like a blanket or pillow? I would start there. Let me know how that goes.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏

Nice! So glad you found it helpful 🙌

Oh good because I totally forgot you wanted a video of it 🤦🏻‍♂️

@TateEnglundYoga 😁😂 hope the TT is going well!

Awesome! Nice work 🙌. Glad you found it useful

Hi Susan, When you say your knee hurts, are you talking in the 90/90 version I show in the video or when you take a more traditional pigeon pose? If it hurts in traditional pigeon, it is most likely due to the tibia rotating a little different then the femur. The 90/90 helps prevent the femur and tibia rotating differently from each other.

Yeah that makes loads of sense! Whatever it takes to give you the feeling of being able to access and engage the most amount of muscle the back chain is the proper technique/alignment

Thanks Fernanda! Hope you’re well!

Glad you liked it 🙏

Let me know how it goes!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏

Thank you Diane! I appreciate you and all your support!

You're welcome! Let me know how it goes!

Good! And to be honest it doesn’t matter if the head lifts. It’s that you try to get your head to lift

You might be trying to straigthen them too early. Make sure your knees are vertical before trying to straigthen the legs

😂😂

You’re welcome 😊

Hopefully soon?! 😉

I would agree 100% with you Alex! Thanks 🙏

Wheel is intense for a lot of people. I’ve seen your progress. It’s super impressive

🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m going to have to disagree with that one as well Ty. It’s a practice of self inquiry and creating balance. Not about how many cool things you can do.

It's good to know we're not alone 😂. It's refreshing & important for people that leave religion behind that they still can have a connection to spirituality

Glad you liked them and they worked for you 😃

Awesome! Happy to help 🙏

Thanks Ty! With all the cycling, the hamstrings are constantly concentric strengthening, they’re shorting and strengthening. Active engagement in a lengthened position is so helpful to counter all the cycling

You're welcome

Definitely keep trying to hold crow longer. How is your jump back to plank from crow?

A good idea for another video! Thanks my friend! Hope you’re well

You’re making me hungry!

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words 🙏🙏

Thank you Alexandra!!

Hi Dima! It’s hard to tell what exactly is keeping you from being able to bind without seeing you in the posture but if I had to guess it’s probably your shoulders and especially internal rotation of the shoulders. It still could easily be the twist that is keeping you from binding but start with the shoulders and keep working on your twists

@@TateEnglundYoga thank you so much for your reply. What exercises would you recommend for improving my shoulder internal rotation please

Binding but using a yoga strap or a belt will help. Also an exercise called the sleeper stretch will be really good for it.

Thank you Logan!

Hi Elia, my answer would be “it depends”. It depends on how you practice. If you are practicing a style of yoga that emphasizes flexibility over strength, you might not increase the strength. If you practice a style that emphasizes strength over flexibility you might lose some mobility. What I would focus on if I was you would be whatever style you practice, when your “stretching” add strength in the stretch by activating the muscles that are lengthening. This way you are getting stronger while working flexibility. Make sense? In my classes on my channel you’ll practice this way to give you a feel of what I’m talking about.

Thank you! Happy you like it 😃

Thank you so much! Glad you found it useful

Thanks Ty! Merry Christmas to you as well!
