    I really appreciate these videos, but can I just raise a broader question about the individuality of practice? It's fine to know the orthodoxies as laid out by Sharath, but if in your own practice, you really want to do a handstand, why not? It's your body, your mat, your time, your breath, and ultimately, I don't see any harm in it.
    Also, for what it's worth, Stu is awesome and hella strong. I love his videos and sense of humor and curiosity.

      Patrick H. The reason I find it important is to grow in humility. I know myself to be a prideful person who likes having my own way. When I submit to the discipline of the tradition, I am admitting to myself that Guruji was wiser and more experienced than I am. When I do Ashtanga according to his teaching, I am reminding myself that I don't know everything. And that discipline helps me to grow in humility and equanimity.

    I don't really understand the need for coming down on the inhale!?! In every other situation (in my extremely limited experience haha), you exhale when folding. For me, there just seems to be too much to do in one inhale. Another really helpful video though, it's nice to get the slow breakdown and tips for getting the balance right.

      Inhaling is important for the raising part - inhaling or holding your breath in also known as the valsalva maneuver. It increases abdominal pressure, allowing you to raise your legs as shown while using your stiff immobilized torso for counter-resistance. Kinda same thing as press handstand.

    High vinyasa geekery! Badass. I'm going to use this information to continue the pursuit to cue breathe and movement.

    I can do the same movement but my legs shoot up a much as probably Stu's legs but how do I get to the Jelena-level?

    David mentioned Sharath's book. Is that Astanga Yoga Anusthana? I found it on Amazon but want to make sure I have the right title before I order. Thanks!

    Okay, so this transition has always confused me and I've talked to my teacher about it but am still a bit confused. But you sort of gave a hint just past the 6:30 mark. You said that at supta you inhale and jump forward, and then exhale before you do the count. That exhale is NOT in Sharath's book. Without it, you would start your 5-count on an exhale, meaning that the next breath after your count would have to be an exhale. But you are saying, for sure, that ashtau is an inhale while folding. That's an unnatural breath movement (inhaling while folding, before lifting) but you see it in padangusthasana so it's not SO weird.
    I just want to make 100% sure you do the exhale after supta, which isn't otherwise mentioned, before doing the count.
    Also, is the count ALWAYS inhale-exhale? Or can it be exhale-inhale? It would seem that after utthita hasta padangusthasana C you have the same exhale-inhale cycle on the 5-count.
    Thanks.

      You talk as if any of the ancient books of yoga demand students to dress in a certain way. Don’t mix yoga with your extremist views.😊
