how to do straight handstand的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

Day 9 of #hkyogachallenge - #pinchamayurasana

This is arguably one of the more challenging #inversions because it requires super strong #corestrength, #shouldergirdle and at the same time #openshoulders. If you can't do it freestanding, do it against the wall. It's really about finding your #zen, #balance and #drishti. Here's how:
-
1️⃣ Start with your forearms on the floor with elbows shoulder width (a must!). Keep the feet in the back and body flat in #forearmplank. Suck the belly in firmly. This is a good training ground for your #core and overall stability. Stay here for 1 minute before you proceed - remember, body in a straight line. Rest in #childspose.
-
2️⃣ Come back to forearm plank. Some schools say hands facing down and block width apart, others say hands can be closer and in #dharmayoga, you bring the hands together and cross the fingers. It doesn't really matter to me. Start walking your feet forward and while you do so, press your shoulders and armpits back away from your hands. Gaze between the elbows. Send the hips as high and walk your feet as forward as you can. This is called #dolphinpose. If your hamstrings are tight, it's ok to bend the knees. This is basically a #downwardfacingdog but with forearms on the ground.
-
3️⃣ Lift your dominant leg up and keep it straight. While keeping your hips square, hop that top leg up and bring the hips over the shoulders - you can keep the bottom knee bent but the top leg should remain straight. Think about floating your hips up rather coming up into the full pose with both legs up into the final pose.
-
4️⃣ Once your hips can steady directly over your shoulders, you should be able to find your balance. Feel free to remain in the "top leg straight, bottom leg bent" position. Or when you're ready both legs straight into the final pose. Gazing point is still between the elbows.

Have fun practicing! This is a very challenging pose, a lot more difficult than #headstand and some say even harder than #handstand. But think of your forearms as giant feet and use the wall or have someone spot you. #practiceandalliscoming!

The more I do #handstand, the more I come back to its very foundation - the straight line. There's a reason why handstand in Sanskrit is called #ardhomukhavrksasana - which means a downward facing #treepose. The straight line handstand looks simple but it exposes a lot of the weaknesses that you have in your practice: do you have a banana 🍌 back? Are your shoulders too tight? Are you engaging your core? And above all, are you breathing and how long can you stay there with ease and grace? In all aspects I'm still a student of yoga and a dedicated practitioner every single day. Some days I'm good, some days I fail. But I persevere.

While we celebrate the good days, it is more important to embrace the bad days too. You will learn more about yourself and the practice from the bad days more than from the good days. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

#uttanasana - Which one are you? (Swipe ⬅️)

No, you don’t have to do yoga with legs straight.
No, you don’t have to be able to touch the floor to do yoga.
No, you don’t have to be flexible to do #standingforwardfold.
And no, #handstand and crazy backbends are not really #yoga.
•
The purpose of this pose is to elongate the spine and to lengthen the entire back side of the body. So if your hamstrings are tight, try bending the knees and even use yoga blocks under the hands. Think of it as folding in the hip crease as if you are closing a book or a magazine - and you do that by sucking your belly in (meaning not entirely relaxed!) Keep the spine long too, don’t round your back too much.

Tell me how you do this pose?
