Laruga Yoga - Bakāsana to Vrksāsana

[@larugayoga]

It doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong. In the beginning, when practicing Bakasana you will feel heavier on the arms. This is part of the process, to first simply balance. In time and with lots of practice one will then begin to press down through the arms more fully and engage the core. This is beginning stage of acquiring the strength to press into full handstand. The strength and coordination doesn't happen overnight. Truly the reward is in the journey. Just practice! :)

LarugaYoga o Oooooooooo

[@proactivemimi6473]

Thank you😥

[@larugayoga]

I simply started a consistent Ashtanga yoga practice and devoted myself, and still do, to the path of this tradition. When you let go to the process of practice what seems impossible becomes possible, and honestly is much bigger than the performance of postures as the above. I would recommend finding an authorized teacher near you, and begin there, with consist practice. What unfolds will be worth all the effort, I promise.

[@larugayoga]

When maintaining a regular practice it does become important to eat in a way that supports the practice. I do my best to eat whole foods, organic, home cooked as much as possible. Moderation in everything, even moderation. :) When it comes to strength, yes it can vary from day to day. Some days the breath is stronger. When "tired" technique definitely does save me. Most important dristhe, bandhas, breath.

[@proactivemimi6473]

Could you make a video on what you eat in a day ? Pleaseeeee

[@siennas862]

Larugas dedication is amazing. Love her so much.😍😍

[@larugayoga]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@larugayoga]

Sure. Sounds like an interesting project. Have you started already?

[@cleveroliveira6727]

1.000 times UAU! Love from Brazil.

[@larugayoga]

practice. practice. :)

[@kentwalk]

so good. I watched it a couple times, stepped away, and finally got it. THANK YOU.

[@larugayoga]

just practice. consistently. find a qualified teacher. enjoy!

[@larugayoga]

awesome!

[@akki56]

That was amazingly smooth !

[@larugayoga]

Yes. Most definitely.

[@dasc_1988]

you are awesome!!! incredible!!!

[@tala_linden_colenso]

You make it look so easy. I can do Bakasana, yet do not have the strength to lift up into handstands. When I do handstands I flip into Wheel, still can’t stay up. I need to keep strengthening core. After years of practice I get a bit sad I still don’t have it mastered.

[@larugayoga]

It really takes time. It took time for me as well. There are so many beautiful gifts available in yoga. The postures are just a small part.

[@larugayoga]

then it will be only a matter of time to do it on your own. the strap really helps when learning.

[@larugayoga]

I can definitely recommend a few Ashtanga yoga books which is my practice. However, I don't know of a book that only represents arm balances off hand. I'll have to look into it. Even though there are a few arm balances in both primary and intermediate series, most arm balances are in the 3rd Series otherwise know as Advanced A.

[@KINETICTHEORIST]

I love it! Pointed toes with elegance and strength in a yoga video.

[@Pro-personal-trainerDe]

so beautiful. Awesome body control

[@satravikaur]

incredible. perfect

[@larugayoga]

Close to 17 years now. :)

[@Goldenpill]

wow..beautiful and impressive!

[@alexdouglas7868]

Oh my gosh - how should I approach trying to achieve this? So graceful ...... I imagine there must be core developing stages to move through - how long would it take to achieve this ??

[@tugr3]

thats pure power

[@smilelikeUmeanit90]

Wow!

[@kassi90]

This is beautiful and very inspiring! I'm struggling to learn arm balancing poses but so far I've been doing alright with crow. However, I feel like I'm extremely heavy on my arms. There's no way my thighs can lift up high in order to do a handstand! Any advice? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

[@AoRa-v5x]

Красотка🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@christielane8853]

This is awesome! Hopefully one day :)

[@larugayoga]

With practice anything is possible. :)

[@michaelpellegrino8309]

+Laruga Yoga very nice form, would like to see and believe you are ready for next step of headstand, no longer look forward but look back and relax your neck so the crown of your head points directly down to the floor

[@Crumbysmom]

Beautiful!!!

[@mammabahama]

Thank you for sharing.

[@Dergicetea]

Awesome video! :) I was wondering if you could suggest me a book or a page online where I can see all the yoga stands or positions of balance. Right now I'm practicing the elbow stand and the frog stand. I'm not quite sure if those stands are called like that in Yoga since I'm just starting to get interested in it. Greetings!

[@larugayoga]

I think you should definitely do it if it speaks to you.

[@ThatGuyInSD]

Very nice! I tried this for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised that I could get up into handstand. Now I have to work on getting back into crow as elegantly as you have demonstrated

[@larugayoga]

Awesome. :)

[@larugayoga]

Great job. :)

[@vanessam9784]

Incredible

[@kolorkin]

what's your diet like? what do you recommend that would ehnance/maintain your pracitice? do you always find the same strenght of ujiya breathing each time you pracitce? what happens when ...the strenghth is not there? do you apply any technique to "find" it?

[@crystal1134]

That was pretty amazing! I have been practicing on/off for almost a year. I really want to improve on these kind of poses. But I feel so overwhelmed. I do not know where to start. How did you? Do you have any tips/suggestions?

[@maysavieira6009]

[@XSpatez]

Woowwww

[@jsmithbab6]

That was beautiful. Laruga Glaser, I wanted to make an infographic about how to do a handstand in yoga style. Could you help me with this project. If the result is fruitful, I am sure it will be a delightful thing for you to see. Albert

[@Lashannasmall]

Question: What that secondary? Is it supposed to be one crow and one crane? That would make sense. I thought it was two crows.

[@proactivemimi6473]

Wow!! How many years is it gonna take for me to be able to do this 😩

[@larugayoga]

Not sure but it is worth trying to start a yoga practice.

[@larugayoga]

You will need to clarify your question. I didn't understand what you are asking. Thank you.

[@mobilebipod]

gorgeous.

[@Dergicetea]

Thank you :) I'll give it a try.

[@ajoyfulyoga]

Awesome! I am still trying to get it without the help of my yoga strap :)

[@XSpatez]

So breathing is really factor?

[@Candela415]

Damn! That was really good.

[@OlegFlowYoga]

[@saiarjun5571]

[@ummuhurairoh]

Isn't vrksasana tree pose...?

[@MobilityYogaWithRohini]

Alva Septiantya Alva Septiantya Hi... Yes Vrksasana is a Tree pose in which we stand on our legs and perform the asana.. whereas Adho mukha Vrksasana is a downward facing tree pose in which we stand on our hands and do the inverted tree pose... The asana is done beautifully by Laruga Yoga...
