  • How to do handstand - yoga for beginners - Whilst handstand is not categorised as a yoga pose for beginners, as with everything, we have to start somewhere.
    In this video we will work towards handstand starting with a basic pose such as Urdhva Baddhanguliyasana (upward bound fingers pose).

    thank you for making the pose more accessible..
    can this be attempted without the bolster propped on the wall for a beginner? or would that not aid in stacking the hips over shoulders?
    if we kick up with the dominant leg, the other leg with the swing motion doesn’t go all the way up? it doesn’t get past hips. how to achieve this.

    • @IyengarYogawithHeather
      @IyengarYogawithHeather  Před rokem

      You're welcome 🙏 Yes this can definitely be attempted without the bolster when kicking all the way up. Some find it helpful and this may be more of a mental support as there is sometimes fear about collapsing. I actually find trying to kick up all the way into the pose with the bolster a hindrance so I do not use it, however it is useful to use when practicing the variation with the feet up on the chair.
      When kicking all the way up we need to pull the hips back to the wall as the first leg kicks, then if the hips are far enough back (and over the shoulders enough) it is easier for the second leg to swing up. Hope that helps. 😀

    Thank you Heather 😊 💓 your explanation of Tadasana really helped me. But at what point do you lift your quads upward from heel...you didn't mention it so Im wondering if my understanding is correct or not - I tend to do the tailbone tucking first knees bent, next knees and hips together and then lift the quads upwards with heels firmly grounded. Or according to what you say, is the quad lifting automatic with the thighs pressing back?

    • @IyengarYogawithHeather
      @IyengarYogawithHeather  Před rokem +1

      Thanks for your question P. You can approach the activation of the quads either way, that is, the way you have described or by keeping the knees straight and pressing the thighs back then buttocks forward. Each teacher finds a way of teaching and explaining things they have found helpful so this equates to many "right" ways of approaching the asanas. 😀
