3 STEPS TO ASHTANGA DROPBACK | Wheel pose transition

Ashtanga dropbacks - This tutorial may come useful to any Ashtanga practitioner looking to work on their urdhva dhanurasana and from there on how to work on their ashtanga dropbacks.
In this video, I share the three steps that helped me be able to comfortably do a bridge from standing. However, as I mention in my video, try to work on this transition with a teacher.
You can see ashtanga dropbacks as a wheel pose transition so if you are looking to work on your wheel pose, check out my tutorial here: • HOW TO DO WHEEL POSE ...

Not very into yoga, but I'm using this as a way to learn how to do a back handspring for gymnastics. Very clear and helpful tutorial, thank you so much :D

[@AlexiaKYoga]

Yes of course, use these techniques even if you don’t do yoga. I hope you found them helpful :-)

[@magdrama]

You always make things look so easy!!! Thank you so much for your great explanations and guidance

[@AlexiaKYoga]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and for commenting :-)

The downward motion is easy for me with gravity and all lol. It's the upward movement is where I get stuck. I love the idea of using a table to push off of until I develop those muscles. So cool!!!

[@AlexiaKYoga]

Ah yes using the wall and a table can really be a game changer. Anothing thing that helped me was thinking "inhale UP". I think that was more for the confidence to come up once the body was ready.

[@caseyalanjones]

Amazing tutorial, thank you! This has gone from seeming impossible to quite achievable, although it will clearly take some time and work. My goal was to learn this skill to eventually progress towards a back handspring. I had never heard of ashtanga yoga before, but your mention of it has piqued my interest to find out more about it.

[@AlexiaKYoga]

Glad it helped! I have several ashtanga practice videos you could try out and see if you like the practice :-)

[@caseyalanjones]

@@AlexiaKYoga Thank you, I will give one a try tomorrow morning. 🙂

I really liked this tutorial, I have learnt how to drop back with the help of a wall and without a teacher 😅, I have been at it for years. Now I need to work on coming back up from the level of the table that your brought in. Do I need to practice any drill in the meanwhile to strengthen my legs or does it just happen naturally overtime. Thank you so much, it’s a wonderful video, namaste 🙏 🇮🇳

[@Chipepi]

Hi! Thank you for this. I would love to hear your tips about coming up. Currently come up most of the time, but it is extremely hard. I have a reaally hard time keeping my head back!

[@bobysharma3692]

After practicing for how.many days you can do this yoga???

[@AlexiaKYoga]

Good question! This took me about 4 years of a regular Ashtanga yoga practice to be able to do. But it depends on many factors! How flexible you are, how strong you are and how often you practice! If you feel comfortable in backbends then this could be the next step.

[@ZS-ik5yz]

Please add a tutorial to come back. Thank you!

[@user-wx7wg5cn1m]

I’m in the process of opening up and getting my backbending into the forefront of my daily practice routine, really appreciate your input and advice which helps me along on my slow and steady process . Even at 66 years old I still am able to get into poses that I thought I would never be able to do- the magic of devotion to Yoga can be such a great gift, many thanks for a great post ❤️🧘🏼🙏

[@alaaj5957]
