Here’s are some tips for Krounchasana, Heron Pose. 1. Avoid splaying the body out to the side and moving away from the center line. 2. Orient the body around the center line. Use strength and flexibility to stabilize the pelvis and lift the the torso up and out of the pelvic bowl. 3. Gently pull down with the arms to ground the femur of the extended leg into the socket. 4. This asana requires deep internal rotation, forward bend flexibility and core strength. Don’t push or force. It’s better to adapt the pose than break the body. This video was filmed in beautiful Bali. Do you want to join me ..read more

In order to support the elongation of the spine, draw the navel in and expand the chest with each inhalation. To send the hips forward, avoid squeezing the butt and pushing the lower belly out. Instead, rotate the thighbones slightly inward, activate the quadriceps and engage the back muscles. To support the neck as it drops back internally, rotate the shoulders and allow the trapezius muscle to slightly ..read more

Consider removing the block and closing the gap between the torso and the thigh as the hand reaches all the way to the ground. Remember that the practice is not hierarchical or linear. So choose the option that works best to support the inner work of the posture rather than forcing the body ..read more
