RE: The difference between asanas/yoga and modern exercise

in #yoga • 7 years ago

Nice yoga post! What's your advice for someone who is struggling with krakasana? I can do it with 1 leg, not with both legs.
Thanks in advance! :-)

    Thank you! :)

    It depends on how you go into krakasana. Are you jumping into it? Here are some guidelines:

    • Hands shoulder width apart, elbows bent
    • Place your knees on your upper arms and gently lower your weight onto them
    • Look AHEAD on your mat (and not straight down)
    • Gradually shift your weight forward, as if you are trying to rise from your toes
    • When you feel that your weight is mostly on your hands, gently lift one foot at a time.

    The most important thing is to do it slowly and controlled. If you jump into it it is so much harder (and takes a lot longer) to find your balance. :)

    Let me know if it helps, if not, more specifically what goes wrong.
