Thank you so much for your tutorial, it was a daunting pose for me to try until you showed me how. I have mastered it after a few tries and I am 70 years old so YAY you are the best. Max

[@Livinleggings]

That’s amazing! Way to go 🥳

[@mungnansiao401]

The pose isn't that easy but the technicality with which explained how to transition into the pose is soooo good 10/10

[@marioribas2002]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you. This was the first time I could actually get into full 8 angle pose.

[@Livinleggings]

Yay!

[@b.u.dmusic9424]

You actually made me very emotional when I accomplished this on the 1st try. I feel blessed to have found your channel. I. I don't think that you realize just how people feel when you put up these videos and they accomplish it following your directions pehis directions. You are a blessing. Your instructions are amazing and I have subscribed to your channel.

[@Livinleggings]

I’m so glad to hear! All the potential is within you, I just helped teased it out! 🥰

[@mritzs5142]

Even though this was years ago I feel it's one of the best tutorials on this elusive asana You broke it down so we'll thank you !

[@theghostofsabertache9049]

In a single day or have learned that can do crow pose and 8 angle. I’m also on day 8 of your 21 day yoga series. I’m genuinely enjoying finding out what my body can do.

[@kerryphillips2394]

Thanks for simplifying this pose....could never do from the floor...only elevated...but did it❤❤ Thankyou

[@nalini8760]

Hei, this is so much easier than all the other tutorials I have seen before! Most people show you how to get into eight angle pose via Elephant trunk. That is so much harder. Thank you and give you doggie a special hug!

[@user-wx7wg5cn1m]

You make this look so easy, I tried this one quite some time ago and failed, but I think that following you will make a big difference, as I have been able to do wheel pose just a couple days ago after following your posts- wish me luck- gonna try this soon!❤🌿🧘🏼🙏

[@NaturallyNomadic]

This was fab! Other tutorials were so confusing!! But this was so much easier to understand, thank you!

[@DB-wq6nk]

You have the best yoga videos on KZbin. First arm balance I could ever do in my life - love your channel

[@venkat4435]

Its the best tutorial that I have ever seen on how to approach astavakrasan. Many others hsve complicated the approach steps into the posture.. this is so nicely explained.. thanks

[@sukimama2]

Hi, thank you. Caught your video yesterday and did the pose today with no problems. Had learned it a much more awkward and complicated way previously. Your technique is far easier. I'm going to try your crow one next--have never been able to do it.

[@ee7861]

Thank you for clear and simpe instructions. Managed to do it

[@garybrett]

Brilliant, thank you so much. Nailed it after 8 minutes with you.

[@mikeobrien1559]

Whenever I see some move that's somewhat new to me, I find myself wondering "how do you go from not doing that to doing that?" This video of yours makes it seem soooo much more possible as at least I know where to start. I've got to say, though, the best thing about this video is your dog snoozing on the couch. What a mush.😻🙏🏻

[@marinadurancoach]

You really explained this amazingly well 👌🏼 thank you

[@hidekiyamamoto6062]

Thanks for nice explanation. I was not thinking this is doable posture for me, but successfully lifted.

[@ShaggyMonk]

This is a great Astavakrasana tutorial with lots of tips and a great progression from beginner to advanced. I'll be referencing a lot of your guidance in my teaching, thank you.

[@JorgeRamos-ix1jm]

Great technique to transition into the position. Thank you!!

[@Johannaluna4000]

Thank you so.much for all your tips ! I'm looking forward to try all this !! You re amazing 🥰🥰

[@shaminisaxena3229]

Excellent explanation and demonstration, stronger and easier on my right side 👍

[@laurentkelly150]

so clear and helpful, thanks!

[@jennybower4738]

I haven’t done this pose in a decade and you have amazing instructions!! Thank you so much!! ❤

[@jamiemailhot7570]

Great verbal cues. Very well done, thanks for this

[@samduplama8943]

Of all the other tutorial yours was the most easy to follow. I did it in few tries tho not perfectly but I get the stance. Thanks for the excellent demonstration.

[@jesselitoaparre1172]

I like all your videos.Easy to follow and very well explained.

[@machmalyoga1117]

Thank you so much for your great tutorials! They really helped me to improve my poses. Now I found your videos I can´t stop watching them☺☺

[@paulmclaughlin6068]

Very well explained. I was really surprised as I actually managed to do it! Thank you.

[@lenenesse5676]

[@emilyferrell03217]

Thank you!! So helpful, nailed it on one side and this is the first time I've tried. Great instruction... Gotta squeeze legs together for sure!!

it is always helpful to watch your videos and got a little better and confident with my practice. greetings from Leipzig/Germany :)

[@enigmatic_zone627]

Awesome❤

[@essie23la]

besides the great instructions, thanks for showing yourself fall! For me the fear comes in thinking about all the ways I could land badly, when really it's no big deal so seeing it happen really helps to drive that home

Hi there, love the vid you’re explanations are really clear. I wanted to ask you I’m a yogi trying to build a KZbin channel and I noticed that you’re doing extremely well do you have any tips on how to build a KZbin channel if you’re just starting out? If you have any advice or tips I would really appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏💫 Thank you

Nice

Hi Liv. So.... I have been practicing... At least I was able to lift legs and hips up, it was a crooked 8... But I'm on it 🙂. PS I love your yoga tights... Lovely color 😍♥️

[@Livinleggings]

Yessss way to go! 🙌🏼 So pleased for you! And thank you! 🙏🏼

I found this video very useful! But I couldn't straighten my legs easily as I have very tight hamstring. How can I improve? Thanks for sharing :)

[@Livinleggings]

They don’t need to be straight so I wouldn’t worry! As your hamstring flexibility increases, your legs will become straighter in this pose 👍🏼

[@raymondlee7116]

@@Livinleggings thanks for sharing! Do you have any tips to increase the flexibility of hamstring? Cheers 🙏😉

[@elizabethharris6427]

Hello there, I have a feeling that this might be a bit too advanced for me yet, do you have any other balances or poses that I should practice before I try this one? I can already do crow pretty well (balance for about 40 seconds), and am slowly getting the hang of side crow.

[@Livinleggings]

Everyones experiences of arm balances is different so there's no set order. Some people can do this one before they can master crow! There's lots of other arm balances within yoga of varying difficulty but my Arm Balances for Beginners workshop covers about 6 or 7 balances to try out. livinleggings.yoga/teaching/arm-balance-workshop/

[@tothm129]

Hello, I'm new here, I've been practicing without feet up for one minute each day for almost a month without improvement. Am I not patient enough, or am I just weak.

[@Livinleggings]

Your commitment is fantastic! It’s hard for me to know how to help as I can’t see you when you’re practicing but don’t give up and your persistence will pay off 🙏🏼

[@melanip412]

❤️🏆👏💐

[@wizzyletsgetbusy6878]

Could my wrists/ forearms be too weak for this? I can do crow quite wel!!

[@Livinleggings]

I would say if you can do crow then it won’t be your wrists or forearms that are the difficulty as the demand on them is no greater in this pose. It requires a bit more upper body strength though as the arms have to bend more than crow so it could perhaps be this!

[@wizzyletsgetbusy6878]

@@Livinleggings thank you for your reply Liv. Much apreciated! I'm sure you are spot on. I couldn't do Crow once...now I really like it. I will persevere!!
