Hi kino. I recently did your headstand and twisting workshop in Edinburgh. I recall you saying that you were able to sometimes achieve "impossible" postures just due to being inThe presence of guruji. This was the vase for me that weekend at your workshop. This posture has always been a sticking point for me, first physically and then emotionally due to it continuing to elude me. However, I managed that Sunday, on my own, no adjustments and I would just like to thank you for that. Looking fore
Thank you so much Kino... I watched this video last night and because of it, was able to bind in Marichasana C this morning for the first time!! :D I was feeling for a while that I had enough twist but I just wasn't getting into the pose properly and was feeling off-balance. This instruction was exactly what I needed! Your videos are always such a blessing for those of us who don't have authorized teachers in our area. Thank you so much! xoxo
Kino, will you please elaborate on this lower belly and bandha knowledge in one of your videos? I have had so many different teachings on this and I am totally confused.
I came in here bcoz with the adjustment my instructor did it felt so good didn't know I could do it, however been trying to figure out how to properly rooted your hips down bcoz the twist I think I can do it balancing my body is the main problem for me
@yogajay27 I'm not an expert in such things, but wouldn't activating the core muscles in the lower back make it stronger and more stable, rather than weaker, less stable and wobbly?
Hi Kino. How come my right hip makes a little pop or click in certain asanas like Marichyasana? It doesn't hurt much but is uncomfortable, and stops me from getting propperly into the pose. Do you know what might cause it or how to adjust it? Thanks!
dear kino i cant seem to reach my hands in poses like these, nor can i grab my leg in for example arda bada padmotanasana. i am somewhat overweight (30kg) but have a very healthy and sporty body. does the problem really lay in those kilos extras or am i doing something wrong?. thanks
twisting for "beginners"? How You imagine a beginner to do such pose? Seriously i thought i will see how to do the pose for beginners, not for someone who already can do such twisting
Rafal Shinra, my thoughts exactly. Very misleading title. But I'm glad I found this video anyway, just trying to get to that pose (even though I didn't come close) gave a good stretch to the mid-section. Will start to do this more regularly.
I love you Kino and I am thankful for all your videos. But I have to note that this model hardly looks like the average beginner. Julie is very thin and flexible. Those shoulders are obviously well stretched. I see why you use her for an example, but (to me) it's not beginner realistic.
I just did this today with a help I so love and shock of how far I was able to twist using every breath
Excellent example. Great to watch.

thank you very much, someone helped me and i could reach my fingers!!! so i have to improve the way i aproach the poses. may the Lord bless you.
I definitely need to start using this pose because I work out often and my shoulders and back have become stiff. Which I don't like at all.
Kino I can't 😥😣 I am so frustrated with my shoulder as I didn't know if my shoulder is too short or my shoulder is not rotating like what you said...
In case I forgot...thanks for the reply! Your videos are really helpful and inspiring!

Hello, do you need special arm flexibility to bend your arm like this, or is it just me doing it wrong? I would thank you very much for a reply
👍👍👍nice 👍

This is impossible. My chest gets in the way :(

That's really hard. but I manage to do it on my left knee up instead of my right knee up.. :(
Both sides are different
🥰🤩
This pose is almost impossible if one has a little fat on the stomach.
Nothing is impossible in yoga if you practice. Read what Iyengar says about this pose.
Seriously, sometimes you need to move that fat out of the way. It works!!
kino is fit....
hello julia :)

Sorry about that. Ashtanga Yoga can be very challenging. I have some more recent videos that aim to make the practice more accessible.

We all know why we came here😏
There are many good ways to twist the spine. This is not one of them.
You wouldn’t stand a chance against the flexibility of these women. Another internet expert with zero credibility.
