Well explained. I’m 69 years old now and I practiced this for 8 years ago even I’m not an ashtangi more hatha vinyasa. I didn’t achieve to come into final pose after trying for more than 1 year and so I gave up. But this video give me again that hope to try again. Thank you so much🙏🏽Kalyaniyoga 💖

Wow thank you so much for such a detailed explanation. Specially rounding the lower back and lifting the mid back to ensure our spine is protected. Thank you ❤

I really appreciate everything you said about the pelvic tilt and uddiyana activation. I think I tend to get a bit too occupied trying to get the foot behind the head and forget about all the rest. For me, it definitely feels more like I am activating the wrong muscles rather than lacking flexibility. I have a similar feeling in Marichyasana B with the forward fold.

Thank you so much for sharing these tips! So valuable and helpful! Especially keeping both hips in line with each other and keeping the lower back round 🙏🏻🥰 Hello from Manila, Philippines

loved this tutorial, been trying to do this pose for years, hopefully I will make some progress now. Been following you both on instagram for long time so glad I came across your videos on u tube. I am trying to work through all your videos from start even though I would say I am intermediate.

Wow Yelena, you are so good. That was so smooth and no effort at all. Not sure if I can do it.

I love this. I was doing practice tonight with a new instructor, and I had a similar insight with the back straightening. It made such a difference. I am such a novice compared to you guys, but you really give me inspiration because I can see how much further I have to go. A lot! (you guys are also amazing instructors, and your rapport is insanely good! ... yes I know you are married 😄)

You two are so informative 😊 could you consider making a video about hero/half hero? I’ve watched your video on how to take care of your knees but this pose is giving me trouble! Many thanks

I also care for the count 😄 (Should I ever get in the position to count a intermediate led Class - probably 20 years into the future) 😄

Thanks for the video, such helpful guiding, and yup, also a nerd--I care ;)

With those high risk / low benefits poses I would ignore vinyasa count by now , as during led intermediate class I had to rush / both eka pada and divipada / in results I hurt my hip joint and another band in my inner tight. No fun at all, it’s been a while and it’s still there… I’ll try ur tips and see if not putting hip into such a external rotation but work with leg itself helps 👍🏽👍🏽

When I try and do this pose I get a lot of pain underneath my knees, is this okay or am I doing something wrong, or do I just have bad knees? P.S. Thank you for this great tutorial!

Rocking back & up between garbha pindasan & kukkutasana is impossible for me, I feel w/o being able to do that I am stuck for all rounding postures!!😢

Thank you for the excellent video. I did Eka Pada Sirsasana today for the first time and I am celebrating with watching tutorial videos :) I like that the two of you have different tips and perspectives on what’s important. Thanks and have a nice day.
