How to do Bhujapidasana | Arm Pressure Pose in Ashtanga Yoga
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 окт 2024
- If there’s ever been a pose that makes falling on your face okay, Arm Pressure Pose would be it. This pose gives us permission to fall, giggle, and stay kind to ourselves as we practice and these tips will help you build strength and confidence as you work on maintaining balance.
In this tutorial, we’re discussing BHUJAPIDASANA / ARM PRESSURE POSE from Ashtanga Yoga’s Primary Series. You’ll learn the traditional vinyasa cues and Sanskrit count as Jelena demonstrates the state of the asana and the vinyasa into and out of the pose. This pose presents a lot of challenges so you’ll learn various modifications for the pose and for the vinyasa that allow you to build up strength as you work toward the full expression. You’ll understand how to position your hips while jumping, where the thighs should rest on the arms, and how to hold the balance.

Jelena holds it for so long while David talks!!!!!! And then she starts talking - no strain in her voice - no breathlessness! Your strength is amazing!!!!
Lovely People. Positive energy. I'm one of their students, and I love it. Tomorrow workshop In-Person.
I will keep practicing without imitating the graceful movements of Jelena. Thank you for explaining this Asana, your channel is a gift. 🙏💐
The best Yoga teachers on you tube. Thankyou so much.
I adore them. Their energy reaches me through the screen.
These tutorial videos are absolutely golden! I always get so many useful insights that I can directly apply to the practice and overcome those less obvious vinyasas and asanas, like getting out of Bhujapidasana, which I'm still working on and didn't fully understand how. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Jelena, im at point to screw it, and your words motivated me again to not give up :-)
Tanx guys!
Finally, I've got this one , thanx to your tutorial!
Om Namah Shivaya! 🔱
Hara Hara Mahadev 🔱
Спасибо ребят!
Наконец-то я освоил её, благодарю вашему туториалу!
Ом Намах Шивая 🔱
Хара Хара Махадэв 🔱
Superb tutorial! I showed this one to my 60 year old mom who was struggling to lift the legs off the floor and now she is able to hold with legs off the floor for 3 seconds!
That's incredible! Thank you so much for sharing that with us :)
Jelena what a beautiful practice you have! Thank you David for your expert way of breaking very complex moves down into chunks we can practice with. My teacher used to say you just practice til you do it - one day it will happen. Your breakdown gives my brain body coordination the extra help i need to practice in the right way that will make me stronger not get me injured.
Thank you for that!!
I’m also doing my best till navaasana, but can’t wait to continue work for the this part of the sequence
Commitment is the key 😊
I love all your videos. Thank you ❤️
I have been struggling with this pose for months and you both just unlocked it for me. Thank you so much for this tutorial!! 🙏🏼💛
Thank you so much! This is what I am working on now and it's so helpful to understand the steps of how to practice it a step at a time.
Guys thanks!!! Everything you said is so true and resonates! It's nice to hear it!
Thanks a lot!!! Love it! So helpful. Do you have a Supta Kurmasana video? That would be great… ❤️
You're very welcome! We have one coming up in a few weeks :)

Thank’s Jelena and David, it’s really usefull tips!!!
thanks for the videos, guys! they are always very informative and helpful!
maybe some tips on bandhas would be nice. I find it one of the most difficult parts of the practice...
Great suggestion! We'll add that to our list for upcoming videos :)
Thank you for this!!!! I'm up to Navasana in my practice. Preparing for this pose next!
Thank you both 🙏 for breaking this down so well. Looking forward to a Kurmasana, Supta k instruction video. ❤
such a good explanation of it all!
Thank you, this was helpful! 🙏 I would love to hear from you guys about some tips on how to jump back from bakasana into chaturanga. It's kind of a struggle for me :)
Hi! That's a great suggestion - we'll add a tutorial for that soon :)
Thank you for all you videos. I would really like to see tutorials on how to avoid pain in you shoulders and neck and how to place you feets in standing positions :)
Thank you for another great video. I’ve been struggling with this asana. This helped me think it through a little better.
Unbelievably perfect thank you both u are perfect❤❤❤
Beautifully explained once again. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Your videos on youtube and IG are very helpful to my practice 💗
I'd love to watch you explaining the jump throughs and jump backs and the jump back from Bakasana . 🙏
Thank you so much for your suggestions. We've had quite a few comments asking for those 2 as well - we'll add both soon :)
Thank you so nicely explained very helpful
Really happy to hear you found it useful :)
David is so adorable!!!I like you so so much!!
Thank you!
Thank you guys. I'm still super far to do this, but some day...
You're very welcome - keep practicing :)
Thank you so much for your efforts in putting this up. This is very helpful 🙏
Hi! I really love your videos. I introduced your tips in my practice and it really improved!! Thank you very much for your amazing job!
Could you do a video on kurmasana preparation/modifications, please?? Thank you ❤
This was very helpful to me. As I’m currently working on that posture
Big love from Floripa
You're very welcome! Hope it helps :)
Hi David and Jelena!!! Once again this is a fantastic and useful videotutorial. I can say that for me this posture is a challenging one. I hope getting it one day 😜
Our pleasure! Really happy to hear it was helpful for you :)
This was good explanation, thank you =)
You guys are the best! Do you have a video tutorial on stepping through to low lunge without getting stuck? I looked and couldn’t find one. Would love that if you don’t already!
Great suggestion! I don't think we've explicitly talked about that, but there might be something on it in the Suryanamaskara B video.
Love you and your tutorial 👌👌👍
I would love a tutorial to work the transition from pincha to chaturanga.
반갑습니다 ㅎ
자주 올게요
인스타에서도 보고 감사하고 있어요
Thanks 🙏🏾 it’d be great to see kurmasana and supta kurmasana 😊
Thank you 🙏 Very useful ❤️
Hey David and Jelena, thank you so much for this tutorial! You always have helpful advice, and it's really nice to see how you two work together so well ❤ A feedback if I may: Being a yoga teacher myself, I experience that the first challenge for students in bhujapidasana is usually being able to stay upright on the hands and not just fall back on their bum haha! And you're not really dressing this challenge in your tutorial. I guess it makes sense from an ashtanga point of view though because when you reach bhujapidasana in ashtanga, you're already a relatively advanced student right? Secondly, the jumping forward and going straight into bhujapidasana without putting the feet on the floor first, hast been a mystery for me for years, and still is, and I've kind of given up on it. Maybe you would have some tips for that one as well? 🙏
thank you so much!!!!
Thank you! 💙🙏
Great tutorial. As always:-) Would you please do (Supta) Kurmasana too??
Great videos! Can you do one on kurmasana and supta kurmasana pls? Thanks!
Sure thing! Thank you for the suggestion.
thanks a lot! could you make a video on exit from Pincha? so hard!
thanks a lot for your sharings! would it be possible to see some tips on navasana?
Thank you! Yes we actually have one coming up in the next few weeks on Navasana :)
Thanks 😻
Very helpful. I need help getting into and holding Setu Bandhasana. There is too many opinions and I would like to know the traditional format. ☺️
Great suggestion! We'll put out a tutorial for it soon :)
Hi, I love you both so much, you always ask what we wanna seer in your channel and here's my petition. I find very confusing drihsti during surya namaskard A and B. I'd like to see it filmed from the front, I don't get what "gaze at the tip of your nose"is, when I'm doing upward facing dog I don't know if I have to do that gaze during the whole movement, and in surya namaskard B that and the flow of breath I find it very confusing, if you could deconstruct that in a video I would very much appreciate it, because I think sun salutations are very difficult to do ok, there is so much happening. Thank you foir your hard work
Thanks so much for your feedback. We have been asked for a Sun Salutation breakdown before so we have already filmed a tutorial :) Stay tuned for it to be posted in the next few weeks!
Love Jelenas practice and Davids explanations! This really helped me in getting the jump. I am now able to jump and touch chin, but going back to baladama is a challenge because i have a short torso and long legs, and the legs seem very low on the arms. Do you have any tips for that?
I have pain around my elbow joints when doing this, any tips? Where to hold strength? Possible preps to mitigate?
Thank you!
could you do a tutorial for garbha pindasana?
Please make videos on pinchamayurasana please
Hey Allan, Great suggestion. We'll look at making one soon! :)
@@DavidandJelenaYoga OK thank you
I struggle getting my forehead back up once it’s on the floor. Anyone have any tips or cues that worked for them?
I've tried and honestly, it's not easy, and I know that I need to practice to build strong wrists.
Tqvm❤
wow
Hi David and Jelena IM a new subscriber ...i have a question ..i do yoga for almost 6 years ...till now i still can't do crow pose or any other arms balance ...can you guys tell me what to do to get arms balance ..sorry for my bad English
Thank you ...
Hi! Have you seen our Tutorial on bakasana/crow pose?
Check it out here, hopefully it will help 🙏

@@DavidandJelenaYoga thank you for the link
How to have a flexible upper back.....
Even upward dog i have no flexibility especially urdva dhanurasana... So hard to press up arms splayed
You may need to build up upper body strength by making poses such as Chaturanga Dandasana and Kakasana (Crow Pose).
Do some sun salutations outside the series such as exercises. Do your sun salutations properly, it will help you increase your upper body strength, improve your balance/arm balance/jump back & jump through. Sun salutation is a beautiful exercise in itself when it does it the right way.
If your upper body is strong enough to support a healthy Chaturanga Dandasana, you probably don’t need any more arm strength than you already have.
Is it correct to skip prasaritapadaottasana A and C one day B and D one day?
Hi! No they are taught and practiced as one set of postures (always A,B,C,D together)
I can’t keep my legs straight. And if I squeeze my legs then can’t really push myself down
❤️🙏🏻
🙏🥰
Suptkurmasana
Lindo lindo
🎉
why it seems like i will never manage to do this.
Its difficult, but possible with practice and the right technique :)
Love to see a crow tutorial
There's one here: ruclips.net/video/9jg6HtjZPsQ/видео.htmlfeature=shared
That female teacher still looks better with long hair.It's a waste to cut short hair for such a good-looking person.
Thank you for uploading this video! I'm still learning this posture and the base of my knuckles always seem to lift up off the floor. Does it take away any of the strength required to be able to do this posture? 😅
Hi Louise, thanks for watching and commenting. So yes, when you lift your knuckles it not only takes away some of your strength but it also puts more pressure onto the outer edge of your wrist which can lead to injury so you want to avoid it. Hopefully this helps :)
