I am so happy that I started recently to feel the stretch in the front of my body, after many years of practice feeling only the pinch in my lower back.I still feel more comfortable to start with a bridge and then, I go for two full bows. I am so grateful 🙏❤️
Wonderful tutorial as usual. I'm reasonably comfortable in Urdhva Dhanurasana when I practise it standalone after a short targeted warm-up. In my Ashtanga practice, though, it still feels very difficult after all the forward folding of Primary Series.🙁
Great video, as always ❤ thank you David & Jelena I’m still wondering about the lift sensation and the movement of hugging/compressing the chest, please make a video on this topic. Thank you, once again ❤
Hi Jelena! Hi David! Love your videos, and I was wondering if it's possible for you to record few videos in wich we can practice all your teachings without having to do the full series... there are some of us that don't have the time availability -yet- to do the full practice, not even once a week. So, I've been practicing with other yoga style videos but it's so hard to find ashtanga practices that are reliable and true to the series principles. I don't know if you get my point... but, anyways if you get to read this, I would highly appreciate it.... Much love and thank you so much...!
I've definitely heard this a lot while practicing backends - to keep the glutes engaged to protect the lower back. So hearing you say the opposite of this instead is really interesting to me. Does this apply to all backbends or only urdhva dhanurasana?
I have always heard the opposite, doing a posterior pelvic tilt. I will try an anterior pelvic tilt tomorrow, very curious how it feels. I would love to see a video on kapo, it has always been a struggle.
I usually struggle with this pose but with your cues i went up smoothly. Thank you
THE BEST teachers out there! They are far beyond "just asanas". They are magic and transformation if you are ready for it! ❤
I had been waiting for this so long since watching the beginner version. Thank you so much!!
I am from Brazil and I use your videos to improve my practice. Thank so much.
Love your attention to detail and I always learn a little something new which often makes a big difference!
Superb tutorial. Just started my journey into this pose, this will take it to the next level ❤
My nemesis 😢 but regular practice so improving. Biggest challenge are tight shoulders
Been practicing this pose for quite a few months now. Thank yous so much David and Jelena.
It works! Thanks for the tutorial. I had been trying this pose for a while and finally understood what I was doing wrong.❤
Tons of Love from Guatemala. Please come back soon ❤
You two are so much fun to watch and are the best in describing the poses in details. I smile the whole time I watch your videos. ❤

Hi Guys. Learnt a lot of tiny improvements to be made. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

gracias wapos 😍
what about the shoulders and elbows? How would they rotate/placed?
🙏🙏🙏

@david i might have to edit my customized Tee to say - David asked me to Anterior tilt for this asana 😂
My workout partner does this but on his toes rather than his heels. Any comments about that? I've tried it and it's much more difficult for me.
The suffering should be generalized not in one spot 😅😅
I.........hate........ Backbends hehehehehe
