Love that you can say sooo casually that you may be stuck somewhere for a couple of years Yoga is the antithesis to instant gratification Such an important practice in patience and focus Thank you
Thank you so much David and Jelena! I’ve been waiting for this video 🥰. I’m stuck at step 4. I laughed when you said “speed”.. then Jelena proceeds to demonstrate step 5 in slow motion with total control and elegance 😳😂💖. Much love and appreciation 🙏🏻💕🇨🇦
Thank you so much for this video! It makes it much more accessible when you split it up in steps and explain that step 2 is actually the hardest one so you don’t feel like you’re never gonna get even to step 3. Thank you for your time and your good energy 🧘♀️
Thank you for speeing slowly. I was able to understand all your tips. Do you think is a good idea to use yoga blocks und put it under palms when I begin to learn the back jumps? Greetings from Poland
You guys are amazing! I m from Toronto, but have been living in Europe for nearly ten years. When I visit toronto, I d love to come and practice in your shalla. In the meantime will check out your online workshops. 🥰♥️🙏🏼
WOW!!! The explanations are amazing. I will practice and practice step one until I can go through step two. And so on. I think it will take a while for me to get step five. Thanks
thanks so much for this video! it's so helpful! 💕 here are my notes, maybe they help others too :) important for every version: hands slightly wider than shoulders, creases of wrists parallel to front line of mat, hands active, try keep index knuckle on floor, press into hands to create dome shape in back assuming you don't have knee problems (then swing the legs on the side) step 1. cross legs, arms under knees, hands in front of feet inhale - rock forward, exhale - step or hop back reverse: inhale - step forwards crossing legs, feet stay behind hands, knees between arms, exhale - sit down step 2. only difference to step 1: hands go behind feet! inhale - lift bump up, exhale - walk feet through like with step 1 and then jump back reverse: inhale - step or hop, land like in step 1 but don't sit down, push through hands, keep back round, walk feet through, then sit down step 3. start like step 2, hands behind feet, just in front of hips, introduce utpluthi - knees towards shoulders inhale - rock forwards and try keep feet off the floor as you lift hips, exhale - feet come down, walk back like step 2 reverse: like step 2 but lift before sit down step 4. try to minimize contact of feet on the floor inhale - lift up, tap, exhale - jump back reverse: also try minimize contact with floor step 5. not touching ground, trick is speed, pressing through hands no version is better than the other
Thank you for all of your videos, I get always more and more informations about each posture and love the details you share with. I'd like to see a little Video about Savasana , I think it is one of most important part of entire practice and would be great to hear from you some details about Savasana. Thank you!!
Thanks for this video! Really informative and love the breakdowns of Step 1-5. It's encouraging to hear someone say that 2 and 3 (which broken down in their components seem like a manage-able progression from Step 1) is more difficult than Step 5. Excited to incorporate step 2 into my practice!
Dear David and Jelena thank you very much for this new video. I was waiting for a yoga lesson about jumping, becouse it is very difficult for me. I hope to be able to do this practice in the future,thanks to your great help. GOD BLESS YOU. Cecilia
Thank you 🙏🙏 the steps make it very helpful, accessible - gives progress a path. Also, thank you for mentioning that cramp! I was always wondering about that!! Less scary now. 🙏🙏💗💗
Thank you David and Jelena! Those tips are very good advices and very useful for my personal practice. I am a big fan of your videos and maybe we'll meet in person in Europe ❤️ Thank you again for your dedication 💗
Thank you David and Jelena. I’m stuck step at 4,5 😅. Jelena's experience like me now My feet kick the ground every time I jump back. I think…I need to go back and practice step2&3 well.😊
Thank you !! I have been practicing Ashtanga for a little over a year, and jump through is starting to come, but jump backs feel so far away 😅 the video was very helpful 🙏🙌
Thank you so much guys ! You are so "secos" how we say here in Chile that means you are so talented and professionals. Thank you for all the tutorials that you make, really they help so much 💖
This is so helpful and excactly like what you said. Step 2 and 3 takes me a few months but step 4 seems like a long journey. Will get back to this comment after a few years 😅
This was super informative 🌞. My ashtanga instructor has tried to show me to do the backjumps without feet touching the mat, but I didn’t understand the technique when she was showing me. Now I totally nailed it 🥳🙏🏼 thank you!!!
My partner jumps through easy peasy - I call him a Monkey: long arms, wide torso, shorter legs, whereas I'm the opposite: a T-Rex, so long legs, small upper body and short arms. Although I've been doing advanced yoga classes for years, the jumping through seems impossible! Do you guys have any tips? Or can it actually be impossible for some physiques and should I just accept not being able to? Love your videos and content guys! ♥
@@irenemax3574 Not sure where you’re getting at, “Irene”. so = which means long legs. Wish I was less t-rex more monkey so no need for any jealousy :) enjoy your practice and namasté.
Any tips for the short arm brigade that struggle to make enough space to lift and not drag the feet? Other than blocks 🫠 Though I did find that turning my hands in and widening the arms did help create a little more space…
How do newbies build the core muscles to make the initial jump lift? Also, my wrist feel vulnerable when attempting the jump up and lean into the wrists.
A really great tutorial. Very good encouragement about the reality of this skill and how difficult it is to achieve. I really like the tips about creating a structure of practising the harder versions because yes, it's very tiring! Many thanks.
Many many thanks. Very clear analysis, I have been in step 4 for a couple of years and is truth that is very hard to try to improve during all the serie. Good advice to maybe alternate or program a minimum. Do you think that to use bricks can help to feel / assimilate the fast move?
Bonjour, merci pour ces belles précisions !!! Je n'ai plus qu'à essayer et réussir ! Avez-vous les références du tapis de yoga ainsi que de la tenue de Jelena svp ? Merci beaucoup pour tous ces conseils Audrey
One key here, often not mentioned is wrist strength. The weight isn’t so much on the arms, as was said here, but on the wrists. Cultivating strong wrists is vital, if only to prevent injury.
I love the video and love love you guys. Have been following you for years. I do have a question though: I have hips dysphasia. No external rotation so the slightest crossing the legs are an effort to me. That makes my jump through and back super difficult. Do you have any tips for that?
Thank you so much guys 🙏 you're incredibly sweet. This has been really helpful. I was going to ask you but you've anticipated it when you said that it takes years with step 4. I've been stuck there for months and I'm not really sure how to progress... Can you make a video about it in the future?! ❤
I'm stuck at step 4 too. The best progress/exercises that actually works is "yogi push-up, and jump back without touching the floor from Lolasana". The action in jump back from Lolasana is the same as jump back in the primary series. Of course, jump back in the primary series is harder than jump back from Lolasana LoL. Joseph Armstrong from the Miami Life Center has a good RUclips-video about it. Search "Jump Back Tutorial with Joseph Armstrong". I know what my problem is...There is a strong feeling of weakness that I feel when I engage my hip flexors. My hip flexors and my core are not strong enough to keep my thighs against my stomach and press the butt up at the same time. However, examining your weaknesses can help your progress and skills. Enjoy your practice 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks a lot for this very helpful video, this one all the others. Do you have more precise advice for the pressure on the hands for the jump back… I am stuck for a long time with the jump back (feet still touching). At the same time my jump through is ok even if I can control it for going slowly… Or maybe, it’s just about the elbows as you said? Thanks in advance for your answer. Following you also on Instagram and I love your precision and energy!
I have Bad wrists. they start to hurt very often. especially if it’s cold outside and i practice… I try to warm up very well. Are there exercise you know to improve it? Do you have any advice for me?
I remember that david had a channel with kani. it was mainly about philosophy and the attitude towards practice. I would find that very exciting even if kani was a little quiet at the videos😉

Love how you ask people to engage on your posts, it’s so important. People don’t understand how much work these vids are. xx
Love that you can say sooo casually that you may be stuck somewhere for a couple of years
Yoga is the antithesis to instant gratification
Such an important practice in patience and focus
Thank you
Body changes every day. It may take months or years but the secret is - continue practice ❤️
“And all is coming” lol
soooo basic common sense????
You two are adorable! And helpful and informative and inspiring and all that but mostly adorable!! 😄
Thank you so much David and Jelena! I’ve been waiting for this video 🥰. I’m stuck at step 4. I laughed when you said “speed”.. then Jelena proceeds to demonstrate step 5 in slow motion with total control and elegance 😳😂💖. Much love and appreciation 🙏🏻💕🇨🇦
You guys are so wholesome 🫶
Oh my God … this was my dream for years, will try and hope I get results soon
Will let you know 💓
Thank you so much for this video! It makes it much more accessible when you split it up in steps and explain that step 2 is actually the hardest one so you don’t feel like you’re never gonna get even to step 3. Thank you for your time and your good energy 🧘♀️
Thank You...a really good explanation ❤😂🎉
Thank you so much, this is helpful! My request is a tutorial on which leg comes on top during Jump thoughts and Jump backs.
Great tips! It helped me a lot
Any practices to lengthen my arms? I made a lot of progress by building core strength, but still can't clear my feet without blocks under my hands.
Thank you! I’ve been stuck with the one foot tap and jump back. It does take time.
Great progression- thank you - I’m practicing this with blocks
Thank you for speeing slowly. I was able to understand all your tips. Do you think is a good idea to use yoga blocks und put it under palms when I begin to learn the back jumps? Greetings from Poland

In the meantime will check out your online workshops. 🥰♥️🙏🏼
I love how mats are placed on the wall ! So cool. ❤
I’m so glad you are posting videos. Could you do one on avoiding elbow pain and injury? And how about one on the mysterious bandhas?
WOW!!! The explanations are amazing. I will practice and practice step one until I can go through step two. And so on. I think it will take a while for me to get step five. Thanks
❤ so grateful! Love from Argentina
thanks so much for this video! it's so helpful! 💕
here are my notes, maybe they help others too :)
important for every version:
hands slightly wider than shoulders, creases of wrists parallel to front line of mat, hands active, try keep index knuckle on floor, press into hands to create dome shape in back
assuming you don't have knee problems (then swing the legs on the side)
step 1. cross legs, arms under knees, hands in front of feet
inhale - rock forward, exhale - step or hop back
reverse: inhale - step forwards crossing legs, feet stay behind hands, knees between arms, exhale - sit down
step 2. only difference to step 1: hands go behind feet!
inhale - lift bump up, exhale - walk feet through like with step 1 and then jump back
reverse: inhale - step or hop, land like in step 1 but don't sit down, push through hands, keep back round, walk feet through, then sit down
step 3. start like step 2, hands behind feet, just in front of hips, introduce utpluthi - knees towards shoulders
inhale - rock forwards and try keep feet off the floor as you lift hips, exhale - feet come down, walk back like step 2
reverse: like step 2 but lift before sit down
step 4. try to minimize contact of feet on the floor
inhale - lift up, tap, exhale - jump back
reverse: also try minimize contact with floor
step 5. not touching ground, trick is speed, pressing through hands
no version is better than the other

Hi David and Jelena, grateful for your work and hoping to become a model student in the future. Thank you, Namaste

I love this video! Thank you for sharing, I've always struggled with this. Love the progressive sequence
Thanks. Great explanations and demonstrations. I esp liked Jelena saying to alternate harder version with easier version during flow. At step 2 now😊
That’s some great information!! Thanks from London!!
Thanks , merci both of you .
Excellent explanation ! Thanks, Stil in step 1😁!

Exactly what I need at this moment. Thank you so much.

Absolutely love you guys...love the tips.❤
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video! I recently went back to yoga practice after a hiatus of 15 years

Very nice and useful video
Hi, I'm Colombian, I love your videos. give me a video doing pinchamayurasana o forearm stan, práctico Yoga y lo enseño también
Love how you break down the poses in your tutorials. I've been trying to do this one for years but my arms may just be too short. I'll keep trying.
That’s what I thought too but my teacher said it’s not the hand but we need round the back and lift the feet and strong core. Keep practicing
Wow! Thank you for such detailed and steps practices to achieve a proper jump through. Your patience and guidance is amaizng. Keep up the great work 👍

Yes Elfi, accept that there has to be SOME kind of penalty for having "so long legs".
Yours sincerely,
Wistful Monkey.
@@irenemax3574 Not sure where you’re getting at, “Irene”. so = which means long legs. Wish I was less t-rex more monkey so no need for any jealousy :) enjoy your practice and namasté.
Amazing and illuminating break down, thank you!!! 🥰🙏🏽
lovely video!!! Thanks guys!!!
Love you guys ❤ it’s very helpful! As always!!!
Thanks for sharing. 🙏🏻💖
