I am really flexible and have been working on building the leg strength to come up out of this pose. I am new to practicing second series. Your videos are very helpful 🙏
Aahhh thank you so much for this! I am one of the poor souls stuck on this pose, and everything you said rings true. The long limbs, the not-strong-enough-legs... I'm so glad to know I'm not alone. I will try your suggestions in the morning, and keep at it. And yes, I'm committed to working with you both again soon, Toronto or elsewhere. ♥Tallie Sarah from Salento 2018
Hi! Thanks for this, you’ve shared some great tips. This one took me a while but working on strength using a block under my head until I could stay there for 5 breaths and then come up was the key for me. And patience, always haha Love from buenos aires 👋🏼
Thanks D&J! This is very helpful. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t raise up easily out of this posture. Now I see that I too am one of the flexy/bendy people that have trouble summoning the leg strength needed to come up from reclining. I keep my arms straight but I have to move/increase the distance b/n my knees to come up. (Keeping them stationary, in their original hip-distanced apart position seems impossible.. right now anyway.) I will definitely experiment with the different hand positions you demonstrated to see how that affects my posture. Many, many thanks!❤
Thank you so so much, this was VERY helpful to me! I’ve struggled with this pose and am working on the leg strength since I have natural flexibility, also I’m one of those with long arms and legs …which I use as an excuse 😂 You two are Awesome 🙏🏼💗
Your videos have always been helpful for my practice!! I usually rewatch some of your videos before the practice day just to make sure that I can do it correctly in the class. And you are right, I'm one of the "flexible" people and back bend is very easy to me to the point where I wonder if I do it correctly since everybody seems to have a hard time doing the poses. Unfortunately that's not the case where I have to do poses that require a lot of strength. I've been practicing for 5 years and cant even do a proper headstand yet!! Looking forward to more of your videos in the future. Love from Indonesia ❤
Thank you so much! All you do is very generous and helpful, I hope you keep uploading videos! Don't get discouraged, please, is beautifuk to look at you both, the way you interact is inspiring and watching Jelena making everything look easy is just so much yoga fun. How to get out safely if you get stucked down there? I'd love to go to Toronto, I hope I can do it sooner than later... Do you do teacher training 300h?
Please don’t stop posting videos! I love your tutorials and your chilled and calm energy. Thank you for everything ❤

All of your tutorials are greatly appreciated!
That’s me!! I’m stuck on this pose!! I’m very excited about this tutorial
I can do kapotasana though, and got that on my first try unassisted. So I am in the camp that David mentioned where my flexibility makes this harder.
Wonderful , detailed explanation especially the position of the arms ,
variations in arm lengths.
Many thanks for sharing these munificent tutorial 🌹
Thank you, don't stop :)
I love your videos! I look forward to each new post.
many thanks for detail/ step by step instructions

Like Jelena, I like this pose. It’s definitely better than what comes before… or after. It’s a keeper and so are you two! 😊🎉

How to get out safely if you get stucked down there?
I'd love to go to Toronto, I hope I can do it sooner than later...
Do you do teacher training 300h?
Please do a video on Eagle Pose
Obrigada ❤
I lost this posture after my hip replacement. I still haven’t been able to figure out why it’s so hard now. Maybe this will help me!
You guys are so cute ❤
Isn't supta vajrasana tougher?
=) thank you!
