The splat onto the mat 🙋♀️! I can't do a yogi pushup, thank you for making me realise that this is not the end of the world!
The glide of the toes is SUCH A GOOD Tip. You're so good at what you do Liv! Thank you🤍
I came here to say this. I have just tried it, and this transition had never made this much sense before. I think it had been the hyperextension of the wrists for me (which mine are pretty finicky, to begin with). This feels so much more fluid.
Thanks so much!
So glad it helped!
I learned hatha yoga in my 20's and many other yoga positions but had to go to work for a living and never did it again so now I'm retired and loving your instruction...66 yr old man getting it back...you are such a babe, love you, thank you.
I was so one of those that thought down dog needed flat feet to do the pose! I'm glad I watched this! Thank you!
Very well explained.
I'm new here and have just seen a handful of your videos but they have all blown my mind to bits, specifically the unhelpful thoughts and misunderstandings about yoga in there. SO HELPFUL! I'm so happy to have found this channel!
my mind is BLOWN.
i've been doing yoga for several years and i was arrogant about being able to roll over my toes in the chaturanga transition 😅.
i've filmed myself just now and my wrists are slightly hyper extending. not as much as to hurt, but enough to have an impact long term.
love when the yt algorithm brings me such a gem of a video!
I know for a FACT I would not be a lover of yoga and potentially would not have even picked it up as a hobby if it wasn't for you Liv. You're so great at what you do and your yoga videos are a pleasure to follow along to. I'm also loving these short infodumps (they're much more sophisticated than a dump I just couldn't think of a different way to describe it haha)
Thank you. English is not my first language, so, when you speak slowly and show what you mean it helps a lot. So thanks, you're awesome. ♥️
Thx so much... practicing yoga for years and catch me doing things "wrong" in many poses dur to your advices! ✌
I appreciate this video so much! Prior to this video I did not realize that my pelvis was tilting the wrong way during downward dog. Fixing the instantly changed my stretch which I desperately need to be in my hamstrings.
I love that you are wearing socks (and fabulous ones at that!) - I nearly always wear socks for yoga 😍
Love this. Too many people see others doing things and think that’s how it has to be. I’ve taken your no need for flat feet in down dog in my practice for some time now and it’s made it much more beneficial.
So glad it's helped!
I love rolling my toes in vinyasas! I think it keeps the vinyasa much more fluid. Yes, with my limited back extension I do have to slide my feet back when transitioning from chaturanga to upward facing dog. I think I even honed my technique of doing this from one of your earlier tutorials either here or on Instagram! So, thank you for that!
Best proper form explanation I have ever heard! Thank you for that, you have transformed my down dog!
Thank you! I'm very tall, and also really struggle with chaturanga - now I don't feel so bad about it!
I am so glad I found you. The tidbit on downward dog has changed my entire experience. TYVM!
You're very good at explaining!!
I was doing all the things you're talking about. But I thought I'm only beeing lazy. Turns out I'm a pro! New subscriber earned!
This was so helpful!
I'm really loving your new content! Thank for sharing your knowledge :)
Omg, I have never liked the roll overing of my toes because I find it puts unnecessary strain on my ankle(previously injured), but I did it anyways because I thought it was "right." Thank you for the explanation on this!
Great video and instructions!
Thank you so much for making and sharing it!!
I am struggling quite often with my down dog, and ask myself if I am positioning my bum correctly. This explanation definitely helps me to better understand the best positioning of my lower part of the body - and I think that this adjustment will also help me to improve/straighten my low back "curve" which I have when doing downward facing dog.
And yes, chataranga is a really strong pose and I should stick to doing it with knees on the mat (I am still a yoga beginner).
Thank you once more for the video 😊
Namaste 🙏
great video! thank you!
Loved this!!
It seems to me that a lot of things in yoga are "rarely discussed" when it comes to poses and how to get there or how to get out of there. It's as if the instructor thinks that talking about it makes it less yoga-like or something. Coming from a dance background, I hate the way there's seldom actual instruction on poses.
...and as Chutterunga is often repeated many times during a yoga class, if your form (technique) is not good you’re likely to create injuries.
As an allegedly strong looking man who has done many a chutterunga, I’m not afraid to revert to performing the move on my knees or skipping every second one if I have an injury or something’s not feeling right.
Gosh, you so succinctly answer so many of my questions. Downward dog and I are at constant odds with each other. It's a shoulder killer for me and I thought the purpose was to put heels to the floor. It only took a moment for proper instruction. Thank you.
Thank you for addressing this poorly cued exercise!
Thank you so much for breaking this so much
What an amazing video! That's what I was looking for for all poses. I'm new and doing yoga by myself. I'm very nitpicky and bogged down by the details so I need to know how to do them correctly otherwise I'm not enjoying myself. This video needs millions of view!!!❤
This is gold
OMG this was so helpful!! 🤩
Interesting, I've never done the rolling over the toes transition. Always intuitively stepped over instead. I just tried with rolling and you're right, it feels awful 😄
Thank you!
i struggle with flexibility, and never know when to keep my back straight vs deepening a pose. especially forward bends.
i feel good after yoga either way, but want to practice correct
So helpful 🙏🏽✨✨
Where have you been all my life 😁 Thank you! x
AlwYs fantastic stuff!!! Thx lady!
I love your knowledge!!!! Thanks you for sharing ❤
Good tips!!! Thank you!!
Well said. Well done. Excellent. Thanks
Thank you for pointing these out! Also, I like your editing ;)
wow this is very helpful!
I do the put the top of foot down on mat to transition for exactly the reasons you stated in the video. Great tips and explanation!!
THis is a brilliant video. I love the way you explained things and the video with a bit of homour in it was really good
oh thank you for this, I started to think I'm Not good enough doing these asanas
Omg love this! I learned it was a huge no to say roll on to the tops of your feet in YTT for the exact reasons you mentioned! When I cue the transition from chatarunga to up dog, I say, “Flip to the tops of your feet, push the ground away from you as you shine your heart through, finding your upward facing dog.” I’ve seen that my students still keep their form while transitioning 🤍
Love your videos, you're amazing, thank you!
Thanks for giving mind to feel!! Soo cool!
Been doing yoga for years (over a decade), and I tend to 'feel it" and just work with that. My philosophy was just, "Well, so what if that body does it that way. Every body is unique!" and, that was my inner motivation if I didn't follow instructors pin-point.
Now, learning there are all these "whys," while making me more comfortable to adjust accordingly in classes, also makes me feel much more nervous for guiding yoga classes! lol, but.. I much appreciate these videos. Super cool! 👍👍
Hey girl. ! I hope many yoga so called teacher. Listen to You. I love your way. & Definitely follow you. Once again. -. Love Yours. Smile and accent. 😉✌️
What an amazing channel. I know I'm being lazy just to refer to Liv's videos as "amazing", but they are so engagingly put together, full of clear and constructive advice. Is there a way of rating channels/videos based on more than just "likes"? Thank you 😁👏🤸
I love chatarangas to updog, probably my favourite flow. I am small though so it's probably easier, there aren't many benefits but that's one I guess. Nice video again, really helpful stuff 👍
Thanks for sharing your yoga tips! You're really helpful and smart. I just subscribed to your channel 🙂
Awesome! Thank you!
From my experience, rolling over the toes in caturanga, tobe discreet, helps not to squish the bits 😅when lowering, if my hips lower before my heels, the angle causes them to swing forward and get crushed by the pelvis.
Very helpful, I'm 58 so need any help! I've found without the knee dip, I end up with a sore neck, wrists. They certainly do improve flexibility if you do a few sets each day.
Liv I am so happy TH-cam recommended your content to me! I got into yoga about four months ago more consistently and all three of these were things I commonly have struggled with and had questions about! I love how clearly you communicate and explain the topics! Thanks so much!!💜
PS: I’m also a longtime supporter of Ed’s channel so I was surprised to find these videos were you after I clicked the first one😂
I am now wondering “how long did she hold this Chaturanga for this video?”, because I know it’s not your favorite position 😂
Great video Liv!
😂 the things I do for content creation ey 😆

I have arthritis in my feet, hands and wrists, but I have a really strong and flexible back. I can do the rolling the toes, I find that it puts my upper back nicely in line with my arms and wrists. But I never do it, in order to control better and place securely my hands on every step, then I just put my feet wherever I'd like them that day.
Thank you for taking out of yoga instruction the "must do it like I (svelte young instructor) do or you're a worthless old hag (me in my fit 50's but now a truly worthless old hag of 70)"! Arthritis in wrists doesn't allow for flexing them to 90 degrees with weight on them for more than a few seconds. And I won't even describe getting up from and down to the floor! 😜🙃🤣
Just stumbled across your site; I’m so excited 👏 for you show what we’re doing wrong ( I practise at home). Any suggestions for lotus pose, I feel a lot of strain in my knees when doing this, so I choose to kneel, but I want to do lotus pose better.
Chataranga is hard for me but mostly because I'm fat. But I've been doing some ab and arm power yoga and since it's gotten much easier for me! I never did the toe rolling thing. I do Sarah beth yoga and always meticulously copy everything she does and she flips her feet. 😂 I guess it's a good thing!
Love the socks 😍
Gracias 🙏🏼
Have strained my toes on both feet from too much planking chaturanga; having to work out modifications is proving to be fun -- not. Thankfully it hasn't messed up the whole practise. Seems like I've found a great supplement in your channel. Subb'd!
No toe rolling here with ingrown nails! 😂 Glad I'm not missing anything!
haha, lobely mnemonic for the anterior and posterior tilt. I had to look it up over and over again on the internet bc I always forgot. I ended up with the mnemonic POSTerior = gOOd POSTure.
Hi there. Thanks for the video I am tall and long armed so I finally understand why I find chataranga so hard! Can you please advise on if you drop your knees for chataranga what is then the best way to transition from there to upward dog? Would you lift your knees again and then transition to upward dog or transition to upward dog with knees still on floor and then lift them? Thank you in advance if you do see this and are able to respond! :)
Ya chaturanga is hard for me as my arms are weak.
Holy shit I was certain that for downward facing dog I NEEDED to put my heels on the ground. I could feel the stretch in my calves but I was wondering why I wasn't feeling anything in my harmstrings!
Audible contract? I could listen to you all day.
Love
Hey what's wrong with stretching calves? And also aren't parts of the calves connected to the hamstrings, meaning having tight calves would likely result in decreased flexibility of the hamstrings?
She literally said that its great if you want a calf stretch….
Haha all you tall people with long arms, I’ve finally bested you!
-Sincerely, guy with really long torso and short stocky arms
I love your monster socks!
🙏
i didn't get about downward dog wt u say
I see that it also makes you Cute & Fit. Works for you.
Finally found Ed's girlfriend! Time to see Film Booth tips put to practice.
Or maybe not even teach Up Dog in anything less than a level 3 class. Almost nobody gets the combination of latissimus/serratus/abdominal engagement right until they have mastered a number of other skills, and UD ust becomes a sloppy way of not really practicing anything very much at all. I'm quite swrious. Teach people to master Cobra first.

Españooooolll¡¡¡¡ pldaseee
Nice socks !
Lovely socks😍
Knees Over Toes Guy meet Roll Over Toes Girl
Nice socks
Weird.. I always thought yoga was a physical way to become spiritual and not a way to exercise.. Well maybe I got it wrong. Looks like good workout exercise
Weird, I always thought asana was a part of a yoga practice where the physical challenges and adaptations of the body were part of the practice. Well maybe I got it wrong.
MUM! Get off the internet.... And put some underpants on,, shhhheeessss.
great video! thank you!
