How to Jump Forward and Back in Ashtanga Yoga’s Suryanamaskara A & B | Sun Salutation A & B

Jumping in Ashtanga is more than just jumping, and whether you’re completely new to this action or you’ve added it to your practice but want to improve, this video will reveal everything you need to do to make it happen.
In this tutorial, we’re showing you how to JUMP FORWARD AND JUMP BACK in SURYANAMASKARA A & B. This transition can become a fundamental action within your Sun Salutations and you’ll learn the traditional vinyasa cues and Sanskrit counts in which this takes place. With Jelena’s demonstration, you’ll see the secret to floating put into practice and get tips on how to make this movement more accessible - like knowing exactly where to place your hands and how to build extra strength to make jumping back a little easier. You’ll get step-by-step guidance on how to access the correct alignment to avoid common mistakes and prevent injury.

i appreciate your honesty about not doing this movement all the time 🙏🏻

[@iahorvath]

Super tutorial! I have always wanted to know how this is done and explained in a deconstructed way. Thank you for sharing this!

[@ganymede911]

Jelena's point at the end really made this video for me. Thank you for the perspective.

[@aaronclark880]

Your tutorials are so good! Appreciate your hard work on these videos. You are an inspiration to me!

[@lindamccann3761]

Your tutorials are so so informative, full of really practical tips, that can truly transform or light up a pose. All and everyone that I have viewed have been transformational, so thank you. Linda

[@madhulikasajith9005]

Great tips and loved the holistic approach to the whole thing. Thanks a lot.

[@rochyyepez7421]

Thanks a Lot for this tutorial. I want you to know that i am practise with you three times at week. I do the guide class very gentle and compasive with me because i was in pain for a terrible tendinitis in my shoulder. I lost my flexibility and of course my strength. So thanks a Lot once again for your care and loving practise of Ashtanga

[@elizabethwarick3042]

Excellent tutorial. I typically step for the first few sun salutations to work out the morning stiffness, then enjoy jumping forward and back. I learned to do this during the winter with your floating videos. Hopefully this will build up to jumping back and through during seated poses, some far away day in the future😊

[@megdaly6365]

I have a bit of a goofy tutorial request: can you make one about rolling over your toes when transitioning from chaturanga to upward dog and upward dog to down dog? I’m not able to do this and get so caught up trying to figure out what to do with my feet.

[@ingevaz]

That would indeed be very helpful!

[@esther.f.g]

You do the best tutorials, thank you. I have a question, do you practice any sport, like strength training, running etc..?

[@mariannaiso]

I love how you teach guys 🥰when will you come to Hungary? 😇🙏

[@LearnEFTwithLucia]

Which one is the tutorial you mention around 2minutes in about floating David, please?

[@c2442l]

How do you overcome the fear of pushing off so hard that you would tip over and fall past your hands?
