You are a pair of comedians! Enjoyed this video and found it helpful. My phone paused when David was on top of Stu - and it did not look right at all.

Thank you for this inpiring video:) Purple Valley, I would like to ask you to take a video about how should a beginners workout be for a while. For example when i practice backbends, when i practice forward folds, when i practice hip opening, shoulders, core ect. Thank you for sharings, namaste.

What exercises are eligible for this movement?

[@adameve15]

Did i hear it right? Anterior tilt before lifting up?

[@TaraRoddenRobinson]

I don't understand "keep your bum soft" cue. Glute contraction is there to help support and protect the lower back in tight extension movements. You would contract if you were in a prone spine extension. Why not do it?

i need support i think; thank u 4 sharing this

[@Lashannasmall]

I am a bit confused. I was in Mysore this season and Sharath did 90% of my back bending with me and I definitely did 3 drop backs, 3 half backs and then grab ankles. He did not have me start with half backs. Also, I brought a student with me that was not going to Navasana and she definitely had to do urdvha dhanurasana.

Of course, "opening" is a euphemism for "pain" in Ashtanga 😂.

[@barbarastanley9684]

Depends on your teacher. My Ashtanga teachers teach no such thing as an opening.

[@poleflowberlin3736]

Why is it so important to keep the bum soft? thank u :)

[@TaraRoddenRobinson]

PoleFlow Berlin I think it allows to front of the hip to open.

[@argoneonoble]

His backbend is at a beginner level as this student lacks shoulder flexibility to have good form. Working on the advanced move of standing to a back end is the pathway to injury.

[@barbarastanley9684]

I think it’s irresponsible and dangerous for a teacher to put his full weight as was done here. What’s the point? As a teacher of 25 years I would never do this, even to an advanced student. I once attended a Kino workshop. She did the same thing. I left the workshop.
