A Yoga Sequence to Build Strength for Arm Balances
Vložit

- There is a common misconception that arm balancing and inversions rely solely on upper body strength, when in reality, these postures mostly rely upon linking breath, gaze, and the bandhas, or locks, which give the body lift and direction. In this short sequence with Jai Sugrim, you'll experience some basic principles of finding lift in the postures through eka hasta bhujasana, a one legged arm balance, and build slowly up to crow pose. If it doesn't feel easy right away, don't worry! These postures are about consistent practice, and dedication.

Touchasana?
I have been practicing crow pose for a month now however to my wonder, I could achieve my desired perfection after watching this video. YAyyy. Thank you so much for your detailed instructions.
He explained very well. Just that if he needs to touch the student so much to emphasize his teachings then he probably should get a male student
I think if she wasn't ok with this she wouldn't agree to do the video. Please don't make things weird...
He can touch her all he wants if there is consent. Plus, body contact is common in teaching yoga, get a grip.
How much hands-on has been a constant controversy in yoga and watching this made ME uncomfortable. There is an imbalance of power in a teacher/student relationship or with an older, more experienced person/younger, less experienced person. To give full consent that power should be balanced. He needs to cool it, or as Silent Bliss said, get a male student.
@@wapple.518 This is not a given, it's very common for women to agree to things that make them uncomfortable to not make the other person uncomfortable.
His assists helped provide strength, guidance, and support for his student. He was not at all creepy. He shared some really great info. The only complaint I would have is if my teachers did not assist me enough. Those who do not know, judge.
very informative but i really disliked all the touching of her body which is imo totally unnecessary
He is her boyfriend you idiot!
Good one, well explained and good flexibility. But it’s creeping me how much he is touching the student. I am a regular yoga practitioner and student for 6 years and have not seen the need for the teacher to do this. Plus this student seems to know her stuff. So why is he touching ??? 🤮
Shira exhibits impressive flexibility. What advice do you have for those of us who are very stiff and can only dream of doing these contortions?
Why is htis the only yoga video on your channel? More please!
no reason for the "creepy touchy stuff" to teach someone basic arm balances
Thanks u so much from India Jai hind jai Bharat 🇮🇳
Har jagah ye krna jruri nhi rehta hain
Hola, me gusta mucho como explica la clase de yoga, le felicito. Un saludo
He’s excessively handsy.
Yeah kinda but more to emphasize what points you should be focusing on
@@warrobotsazuredragon4791 NOT “kinda,” he IS excessively touchy. He does NOT need to so frequently touch her body everywhere. It looks slimy & predatory. It’s completely UNNECESSARY. ALL of what he wants to “emphasize” could be done using skilled vocal directions/instructions. IF he needs to further emphasize and lacks the words, he could direct the student’s/audiences’ gaze with pointing (on her/his own body) w/out the touch; if it’s a position your here direction he could still guide without physical touch. Even if those two have a preestablished romanic/sexual relationship he should NOT touch as such to demo as this wolfy touch shouldn’t occur btwn everyday student-teacher.
Aside from this particular man’s creeper touch, yoga teachers shouldn’t touch in general. Physical touch adds a force the student’s body will push back on (basic irrefutable physics, Newton's third law!), which engages muscles that shouldn’t participate-smtgh important for any muscularly active pose that requires alignment.
Inappropriately touching, as this man seems to be doing, makes it more difficult for other yoga instructors who use non creepy touch to touch in the small cases where touch can be valid and useful. Potential injury aside, crap like this man’s actions can make it more difficult for yoga teachers to teach, particularly for the male teachers.
As a regular Yoga student, I did not find anything inappropriate about his touching. He is simply touching the spots that need attention in various poses. Yoga teachers do not carry gender sensitivity baggage, as Yoga goes much deeper than the external differences between men and women.
Is it ok if we try balancing without block, are they important?
Awesome! Thank you!
His instruction style is good
instructional - i like the step by step... keep them coming bhaiya.
Whole purpose is lost with the guru (teacher)touching the shishya(student).
wow some uptight people around here...
this is great!! thank you!!!!
Learned a lot thank you. Pls may vlog master.
Gross,, nobody really wants their yoga teachers hands all over them all the time like this-- you should re think your teaching style,, physical adjustments are fine but this endless touchy feels crap is disgusting frankly,.
as a yoga teacher, I have no issues with his adjustments. You can tell that they know each other well. He probably does not do this with new students as obviously not everyone likes being touched including men however he is teaching a one on one. An experienced teacher can correct and fix your posture by feeling that movement however in a group glass a teacher does not have time to correctly align everyone and every single move however thats part of his job. Usually they will ask you if you have any issues with alignment touching but you can tell they are both used to each other.
@@tammysam9862 Whatever,,, been doing and teaching Iyengar for over 30 years-- it’s a new day and era,,, they can be boyfriend and girlfriend for all I care- he still is NOT setting a good example as a teacher in this vid. She’s obviously already an accomplished student or teacher -- She doesn’t NEED all of his touchy-feely crap,,,, he’s doing it because he WANTS to which is exactly the issue-- do you suppose his hands are all over the male students like this?? How about the really homely or much older women in his classes??? Yeah,,, you better think about it.
@@ambroulard yes I suppose could be less hands on when I look at it that way .
Thanks a lot!
Yeeee
Great
wow, just amazing and she is beautiful i ever seen. 😍👌
Good for health
Wow what an absolutely inappropriate amount of touching
Wow. I wish I was that bendy
Send your instagram page link brother.
Shira you are sooo gorgeous
Plus you're too fast. Trying to keep up is only frustration. So much for trying to do a calming strengthening practice. Creep and a bad teacher
lol it is a very short clip on how to strengthen your practice it isn't meant to be your whole yoga session. You obviously googled strengthening so when I watch something I don't want to be watching a million other stretches in between as it is a waste of my time. I rather him be straight to the point as this is only added to my yoga session. just stop the clip to get into the pose if needed until you are familiar with it. I didn't come here to watch her do cat/cow for 5 minutes until I finally get to see what I am looking for as I find that super annoying.
The girl is obviously already warmed up and he is showing you how to get into strengthening arm balances. exactly as what you searched.
Shelia's feet are gorgeous.
