Floating

[@heidizettel]

I have been trying to learn this move for 6 years. My arms have been externally rotated (as I was taught to have them in a down dog). The INTERNAL ROTATION and shoulder blade pushup is the KEY FOR ME. Now I'm so close!!!! WAY closer than I ever have been. Honestly. Dang. Thank you so much this fricken video right here 🥲🤯👏🏻🎉

[@heidizettel]

Ps sorry for the caps lock 😂 I am way too excited rn!!

@@heidizettel Years... Okay, this actually helps to read. I'm about 3 months into Ashtanga and think it would be cool to start acting like I know what I'm doing (I don't). That draws my attention to these transitions that stood out to me the first time I took to Google to figure out what the hell I signed up for... These people are basically defying gravity between the sequences whereas I'm impersonating either a donkey or a walrus. Your comment makes me think this could take a long time, but also that it's possible to keep getting closer. I'm 6'3" and 44 year old with a desk job (rather than being a 16 year old gymnast), but I think it's worth working on it regardless. It just look so cool! I hope you get it soon or have gotten it by the time of this comment.

WOW!!! Jelena’s form and strength is incredible. David is an amazing teacher on proper form. Will be practicing this. Thank you so much!!!

[@joedagoe9952]

The single best tutorial on floating. Thank you!

[@eat4nrg]

Continuing to push up through the shoulders was just the cue I needed for success! 🎉

[@robertf4209]

Fantastic teaching and demonstration. Jalena is incredibly strong, flexible, and has precise control of her body in these movements. A testament to her commitment and a gift that she humbly shares with us.

[@marianagarcia3007]

Amazing!! Jelena’s control of her body is overwhelming

[@shagheyegh3755]

Thankyou, those movment of jumping to down dog and back is really helpful to understand how to push the hand to the floor, love it

Great and beautiful Handstand workout 🙏 Very Graceful

[@mrsbootsworkouts]

Absolutely amazing! I have been trying to do a handstand, and was doing the donkey kick and lost my balance and fell over. Now I'm working on overcoming my fear and keep trying. Thank you for the motivation!

[@HappyBreathCreations]

What a great explanation!! I thought I was hopeless when it came to floating, but this makes so much more sense now!! I can’t wait to try it later today!! ❤ thank you so much for this video and explanation! Literally the best explanation I’ve seen yet (and I’ve watched A LOT of videos on this 😅)! P.S. if you really think Jelena’s floats were “clumsy” please don’t ever watch me 🤣🤣🤣

[@sjc3372]

Wow! Awesome video

[@TheTenzing222]

Great workshop!. Thanks ❤

[@pielcanela9620]

I been wanted to really know how to float, but nobody really explain it to me. My teachers just showed me… but not explain it to me 😅 now I got it! 😅thank you ❤

[@SyriusStarMultimedia]

Great video! 🤸‍♀️🧘🏼

[@gyongyikedr.fabian3695]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@ericabriscoe]

Maybe one day 🙏🏻 x

[@melissaa.8547]

I always bash my knees into my elbows on the jump forward…thank you for this very helpful video

[@adalineproulx9773]

A lot of this seems to be the beginnings or precursors to handstands.

[@MarcusRockey]

Excellent tutorial. Feel like I'm making some progress at last 😊. Even on the jump forward we are to roll the shoulders out?

[@zankarpanchani9886]

Superb explaination , sir breath v hv to use ujjai breath. ?

[@rodneydias9586]

Excellent

[@Nomalis_dream]

Gracias ❤

[@smitasathe3561]

Loved this as always! I wanted your opinion on whether it is appropriate to take asana or vinyasa movements outside the context of the practice and work on it separately.

[@cintiafink9046]

Please don't say that she is clousy, even for joking...she is unbelievable amazing.

[@GeoAce777]

[@zankarpanchani9886]

Sir , ..should one know the handstand before floating .??

[@Omstars]

It is not necessary :)

[@gardenlife7]

When you say "spin the arms in" what do you mean? Arms should rotate inward??

[@HCppit]

점프백할때 호흡은 항상 어렵네요 마시면서 하지만 더 세분화하면 마시면서 준비하다가 내쉬면서 한다는거 맞지요?

[@felathar1985]

This woman has monster strengh on the arms.

[@adam.motions]

🙏

[@finnie]

Can anyone 6"4 or above do this?

[@richtea118]

Poor Fiona! If she's a little clumsy I'm a hippopotamus

[@tesshannaford5156]

Don't do the donkey kick was VERY good advice for me!

[@seanfaherty]

Using the Hindi terms is great but in Hindi those terms mean something. Could you translate for us simple folk

[@KenFernbach]

Many thanks for your sharing this well demonstrated, valuable information 🧘🏼🙏
