Eda Tutkun Yoga&Personal Training

Although it has its little flavors and surprises in it; this is a flow, mostly build of very common asanas, such as: Warrior 2, Extended Side Angle, Standing Splits.
What makes this kind of a flow beginner or intermediate or advanced?
I’m answering ☝🏼
Our ability to do smooth transitions, our alignment in these quick transitions and the quality of our breath.
Have fun and if you do, please drop a comment below 👇🏻

Here is two different versions of knee taps
One is on all fours and the other one is on Downward Facing Dog.
They both work on the same muscle groups (shoulders, hips and core) but with different intensity.
Hope u’ll enjoy 🙏🏻

Since I started practicing yoga, my relationship with backbends have always been very friendly. Yet still felt very imbalanced for a long while..
Still, I have to be super conscious during this pose, otherwise it feels like an asymmetrical mess 🤦🏻‍♀️
Lifting one leg up brings a huge amount of instability in this pose ( ) and makes it challenging to keep the pelvis & hips leveled. 🤷🏻‍♀️
So if you feel the same way, here is some things I try;
🎇I strongly engage the and the Gluteus Maximus on the standing leg.
(By all means; your outer thighs and buttocks)
🌠I’m focusing on the same action on pelvis as in Ardha Dhanurasana (push up)
🎆I focus on reaching the top leg towards the ceiling as much as I can. As if I’m being pulled from the top of my toes by a string.
🌠During the previous step, I also keep pulling my knee close to my chest to prevent collapsing to the opposite side.
🎇I place my feet a little bit closer than I would normally place in Urdhva Dhanurasana to create a soft transition from rectangular shape to triangular shape.
🌌Same way, you can try to place your hands a bit wider than you would normally do for Urdhva Danurasana for more balance.
🙌🏻Finally: although it looks graceful, I recommend to practice with heels on the ground and upper foot relaxed in the beginning.
