Your explanations are so clear, gentle and fluent. I just watched 2 of the videos and learned already a lot!

Thank you§ This was sooo helpful! I have the flexibility, but after a lot of hip injuries from dancing professionally with lots of inflammation, the strength is lacking a little bit! Amazing share! 💛

Happy to see you posting again! Do you mind sharing where you got your tank tops? The design is awesome.

[@ethanashtanga]

Sure! They’re handmade by a friend of mine in Bali but they ship internationally. The brand is Ziz Wear 🤙

[@richehndrks1903]

Thank you for this new video! 🙏🏼🤩 Question. Is it OK for the leg to be bent while lifting it and catching the toe (at count Ekam and Astau), and then stretching it out straight? Or should one work towards lifting the leg straight?

[@ethanashtanga]

Yes it’s okay - I’d say that taking the toe comfortably would be better than tensing up & trying to kick high with your straight leg to catch the toe at the top. Smooth movement & free breathing with sound are the ideal way to transition, even if the knee bends on your way.

My hip is so stiff even though I practice every other day?
