    thanks so much for this video! it's so helpful! 💕
    here are my notes, maybe they help others too :)
    important for every version:
    hands slightly wider than shoulders, creases of wrists parallel to front line of mat, hands active, try keep index knuckle on floor, press into hands to create dome shape in back
    assuming you don't have knee problems (then swing the legs on the side)
    step 1. cross legs, arms under knees, hands in front of feet
    inhale - rock forward, exhale - step or hop back
    reverse: inhale - step forwards crossing legs, feet stay behind hands, knees between arms, exhale - sit down
    step 2. only difference to step 1: hands go behind feet!
    inhale - lift bump up, exhale - walk feet through like with step 1 and then jump back
    reverse: inhale - step or hop, land like in step 1 but don't sit down, push through hands, keep back round, walk feet through, then sit down
    step 3. start like step 2, hands behind feet, just in front of hips, introduce utpluthi - knees towards shoulders
    inhale - rock forwards and try keep feet off the floor as you lift hips, exhale - feet come down, walk back like step 2
    reverse: like step 2 but lift before sit down
    step 4. try to minimize contact of feet on the floor
    inhale - lift up, tap, exhale - jump back
    reverse: also try minimize contact with floor
    step 5. not touching ground, trick is speed, pressing through hands
    no version is better than the other

  • @_elfifle_
    @_elfifle_ Рік тому +15

    My partner jumps through easy peasy - I call him a Monkey: long arms, wide torso, shorter legs, whereas I'm the opposite: a T-Rex, so long legs, small upper body and short arms. Although I've been doing advanced yoga classes for years, the jumping through seems impossible! Do you guys have any tips? Or can it actually be impossible for some physiques and should I just accept not being able to? Love your videos and content guys! ♥

    • @irenemax3574

    Many many thanks. Very clear analysis, I have been in step 4 for a couple of years and is truth that is very hard to try to improve during all the serie. Good advice to maybe alternate or program a minimum. Do you think that to use bricks can help to feel / assimilate the fast move?

    Thank you so much guys 🙏 you're incredibly sweet. This has been really helpful. I was going to ask you but you've anticipated it when you said that it takes years with step 4. I've been stuck there for months and I'm not really sure how to progress... Can you make a video about it in the future?! ❤

    • @dontask4990
      @dontask4990 Рік тому +1

      I'm stuck at step 4 too. The best progress/exercises that actually works is "yogi push-up, and jump back without touching the floor from Lolasana". The action in jump back from Lolasana is the same as jump back in the primary series.
      Of course, jump back in the primary series is harder than jump back from Lolasana LoL. Joseph Armstrong from the Miami Life Center has a good UA-cam-video about it. Search "Jump Back Tutorial with Joseph Armstrong".
      I know what my problem is...There is a strong feeling of weakness that I feel when I engage my hip flexors. My hip flexors and my core are not strong enough to keep my thighs against my stomach and press the butt up at the same time.
      However, examining your weaknesses can help your progress and skills.
      Enjoy your practice 🙏🙏🙏

At the same time my jump through is ok even if I can control it for going slowly… Or maybe, it’s just about the elbows as you said? Thanks in advance for your answer.

    they say it's beneficial to practice at the same time every practice day, if i can't practice at the morning every day should I try and build a practice at another time.
    Or would you say it's fine to practice at different times on different days?

    One key here, often not mentioned is wrist strength. The weight isn’t so much on the arms, as was said here, but on the wrists. Cultivating strong wrists is vital, if only to prevent injury.
