Looks like a great way to learn handstands, because there is no wall, no support, no room for cutting corners like I always do 😇. There has to be balance all the time. I can imagine that learners put their legs too far back, because the fear of the face plant, from which I also still suffer.

I did this the stupid way and I rolled over to the front 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fortunately I think my neck it’s ok

great example, thank you

Hi, can you teach Hastauttanasana

This makes perfect sense to me. I've been struggling with a lower back issue for quite some time, which I believe is due to over-twisting the lower back, where there's only 3 to 5 degrees of movement available. My rib cage and upper body range of motion and mobility are limited, and I think this inflexibility in the upper body causes me to compensate by over-twisting my lower back, leading to strain and pain. I completely agree with you and will apply your method to my practice tomorrow. The challenge, though, is that there are times when a teacher might try to help adjust my lifted shoulder to the ground! :)

Crow is called "kaka" and crane is called "baka" in Sanskrit. So crow pose is called "kaka aasan"

do you need to know how to handstand before doing this? I can do crow, but hard to do a headstand

Thank you for your tips. I will try. Namaste

Im nearsighted. How do i do uoga with glassses

Love it… kind of managed to do it… loved also that it’s straight to the point

very informarive video! Im my case it's the back knee that hurts during pigeon though, would you happen to have any ideas why that could be/how to stop that? It also happens during some lounge poses, but not all. Always in the back leg. Apart from these two.instances I have no pain in my knees and haven't had a problem with them before. I'd appreciate any leads!

Great video thanks a lot

What a difference this made in my crow!! So simple! Thank you so much 😊

I found it!! Thanks Tate 😊

And pow! I got it :) really excellent advice thank you so much!!!

Very helpful! Thank you.

Helpful tip and drills for challenging transition.Thank you for sharing will definitely try to nail this transition 😊

Thank you! This is great. Do you know why my knee might hurt on the inner side (medial, near kneecap) when bent/front leg in pigeon? I love the pose but my left knee has been complaining lately. I used to have sacroiliac issues on that side but core strengthening and yoga have helped that. Now it’s just this knee… thanks in advance!

great tut!

Really good tips thanks soo much

Impressive! Great pointers!!!

3:22 is probably the best illustration of this point. I think a lot of instructors emphasize leaving the hands on the floor, or maybe on the knees. Some instructors will cue the hands on the thighs. Personally, I like hands-on-thighs, because it feels like I can also engage my shoulder blades and get the sensation I'm doing a bent-over row. Does that make sense/is that a good way to approach halfway lift?

So good!

Very nice! Thank you Tate

I’ll definitely try it out!!! Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you so much Tate! I really appreciate you!❤

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Can't wait to practice this.

Shifting head back Works. First time I've got close. I knew I had no real connection to floor with right forearm. so the head is not coming up any time soon.

When I raise my legs, they are not vertical.

Perhaps these should be called McFly's. Agony for me.

Thank you for sharing the knowledge :)

It will be nice to practice with you :)

Interesting video! To me, the way you did side crow here really resembles (standard) crow pose much more than the “cheating” side crow does.

thanks tate. this has always been intense for me wheel, but have made progress over last 4 years.

Thank you for this 👏👏. Do not waste your time = "PromoSM" !!!

Thanks Tate I read somewhere the other day yoga is a demonstration of strength and flexibility hmm not sure about that...

Oddly enough that is exactly how I am, feel, and experienced too!

Exactly what I needed because my shoulders prevent me from stacking properly during the handstand. Thank you.

This was a really well done explanation. It will help me greatly on my path. Thank you.

thanks tate useful info. i do a lot of cycling which is great for quads and calf strength but time and time again ill hurt those hamstrings forward folding with straight legs. i have to micro bend and use active engagement to keep them safe. i never injured myself in one of your classes.

Thank you very much.

Should I try and hold the crow pose longer to build up to this? At the moment I can do 30 seconds

thanks tate always a master class. And you used to do that nifty leg switch and you end up in the other epk.

thanks tate. i remember the old chocolate and pizza box drills.

You are an inspiration! Your instructions and commentary enrich the practice of yoga in my life. Thank you for these videos. Please keep them up!

Hello Tate, so glad to see you on the youtube again. Thank you for the great classes I have ever taken in your studio, and hope to back to your class soon. All the best! Alexandra

Absolutely fantastic video thanks for the effort and knowledge. I wated to ask you though - please- when I want to do bounded ARDHA MATSYENDRASANA and all seated binding it's so difficult for me and I'm not there yet. So what's exactly obstructing me here is it shoulders or the core and glute muscles?
