Thank you SO much, no instructor has ever taken the time to explain how to execute this transition.

[@kateybereny]

I love the cue about lifting the pelvis and rounding the back as well as the weight shift. These are the kinds of movements that i think people do intuitively that people who can't yet step their foot through (me included) are missing!

[@SamyakYoga]

The glittering eyes, simple-humble Yogi's explanation which is to the point without any decoration is a rarity today. It is a treat to watch you sir. Always an inspiration...

[@JoeMiller108]

Thank you so much!

[@winskypinsky]

I’m grateful for your knowledge and presentation. It is a wonder you don’t have more subscribers. You explain the physiology of yoga and that’s what makes you different than the other yoga channels. Thank you 🙏🏻.

[@JoeMiller108]

Thanks! That's nice to hear. That's what I try to do

Dear Joe, please make more videos!

[@rajatnaik4u]

Thank you...One more posture while we move from adhomukha to ekapadha is bend the knees little first and then as explained shift weight by lifting the left shoulders 🙏

[@JoeMiller108]

Yes, good point. That can definitely help
