It took me two years of consistent practice, but I was finally able to do this in the center of the room today. This video helped me so much. When I built the strength to just transfer the weight versus jump, the fear went away and I was able to move away from the wall. Thanks Kino!
It's so nice to see a female ashtangi having reached this level in yoga and unafraid to get out there and let people know. Thanks for being the teacher and inspiration that you are!
If it's the muscles in the upper back that might be necessary strengthening. Be careful not to stress the corners of the shoulders but work safely by strengthening the muscles to support the posture.
Kino, thank so much for your inspiration. I have been practicing everyday and today I did a forearm stand with out the wall. I wish someone could have seen the smile on my face. I even did a few more times thinking it was a fluke. I feel so amazing right now. Thank you so much for your videos.
As usual, Kino, such beautiful instruction and such grace into and out of the posture. Thank you for always helping to fine tune my practice! I wish you lots of love, light, and savasana! Melanie
i like this intro style , 'hi im kino macgregor' , it sounds nice , it sounds respectful , it sounds beautiful and sound more professional , good for promoting yourself
Thank you for much for you sharing how Yoga philosophy is. The goal is not only the pose, but the joys and grace we bring to our bodies and lives! This is so beautiful, thank you! ❤❤❤
Great tips for prepping before trying the full posture. Seems like I've fallen out of this pose every way possible!!! Ha! Working on the tips of the toes is a great way to ease into the pose. Thanks Kino!!!
You are SO inspiring! After I found your channel I progressed so much more and finally reached the pinchamayurasana today! I still need to fine tune it, but thank you so much for making all yoga postures easier to comprehend! :-)
This is a tough pose. I'm almost there. The advice of not jumping is crucial as that is what I'm trying to get better at. There's so much going on here so it definitely takes practice. Thanks for the video Kino.
Hey Kino, I'm doing my teaching training at Laughing Lotus in New York. My practice isn't as advanced as your vid it helps e understand and will hopefully help me explain when I have my own students. beautiful practice
Hello Kino. Im starting to practice forearm balance again. When I first learned it a long time ago, I just swing my leg up with the wall behind me. I'm like wow, I didn't know that I can come into forearm balance pressing into any variation. I was taught to swing up with the wall behind me. I didn't have the shoulder strength, and I slumped more. That's the only method I knew to come up. I'm learning to come up the right way.
Thanks Kino. Love all your videos. Thanks for generously sharing. ps - I love it that you get to the point quick and can share so much helpful information in such little time.
OMFG THANK U I really needed that!!!! I FLUNG at least three ropes but I bet you're even more fun to do some yoga poses with nowaday take your lower body sure helps and the rest is all good but the lights off
OMG!! This is the posture that you recommended to me to get more strength in the forearms... This is quite challenging, I must say... lol But, this is perfect as a transition movement. Thank you so much for your help.
So enlightening! Thank you so much for the instructions! Just a doubt: what´s the correct head/neck position? I see many people 'looking up' in pix. Doesn´t it cause too much pressure on cervical spine? Thanks a lot in advance! :) x
I have seen some instructional videos that suggest to relax your neck and head (Looking through the arms). Your demonstrated showed the head looking at the floor. Which would you suggest and what are the benefits of each option?
Hey Kino! I love your videos - especially how they come out like rapid fire on my twitter feed. Question about the very first exercise in this video, just lowering your elbows to the ground from plank. It seems like my shoulders just don't rotate that way yet, when I bend them from plank it's practically impossible to lower them straight back and down - they always end up bending out to the side and it generally feels pretty weird. Is this just my body or will my shoulders eventually open?
Hello Kino Maryam from Iran .. I am practicing Yoga Major asana but I still failed to do it I always practice with your movie but there is pain in the pelvis I have pain in the asana
I am worried about this posture I want to build an this poster daily into 3 to 4 times I love this posture because it's my favourite posture whole body nervous system and also fully meditative posture this pincha mayurasana give the idea sister
I am doing the workouts that lead up to the actual balance trying not to get frustrated but my abs are killing me! I'm having a little trouble on the walking with your forearms on the ground though. My calfskin need to be more stretchy.
Thank you for your videos- there truly inspirational and useful! I'm an expat living in New Delhi could you recommend any teachers or schools in this area to learn ashtanga yoga? Thanks again x
Hi Kino. Would you recommend it doing this pose supporting with the wall? I am still not able to lift my body without a bit of jump. Just can't make out as where am I making a mistake. :(
Yes, you can. If you're totally new I'd recommend you start with my one month beginner yoga challenge. Find the playlist on my channel page and subscribe.
Thanks Kino. Hey, is it true that you're coming to teach a seminar in Monterrey, México, during May? If so. I'd love to train with you. I'm a 50-year-old businessman , rusty, but willing to learn for the sake of Health. Would it be suitable for me? Namaste!
Namaste. Thank you for this video. I have one question. When coming down, you suggested to bend at the waist. Did you mean to bend at the hips? Would bending at the waist introduce strain on the spine (posterior vertebrae) as it would be supporting the weight of the legs in a flexed position?
Hi Kino, i learned to balance in pincha with your 30-minute flow for a month now, may i ask what you would suggest to avoid the banana shape, i have it? Will conscious constant pressing up help? Thanks!
Amazing video, but immediately when I go down on my elbows I feel that they have nowhere near enough strength to support my whole body... Can you help??? Thanks
I feel the weight transfer when the leg is up and the other leg lifts a little but I can't lifted up because I tend to fall over same thing happens to me when on reg hedstand I can't go farther than with my knees on my chest AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?????
I prefer to have my hands close together (thumbs touching) and elbows shoulder width apart. I find this to give me a bigger heart opener. Is this incorrect?
Hi Kino, every time when I practice this pose there are bruises appeared at my elbows, but this would not happen in my elbow plank or headstand. Why is like that?
I can do an elbow stand on the wall but I can't hold it without the wall freely like you can do it. Any tips? ( i think I just need more strength and stability and core strengths I'll practise them.
I have the strength I need to do this, but I can't get my legs close enough to bring my hips over my shoulders. Any tips/modifications? I feel like I should be flexible enough to do it, but I don't know, I can't do it without collapsing my shoulders forward.
+Elizabeth Tcheiguine Bend your knees a little or if you can't walk your feet in, then try to work on deepening your forward bend and your shoulder flexibility. And remember, be patient and don't force yourself.
This posture can help for have suffering from like and epilepsy some others patient can do this poster it's wonderful to help for healthy tips of this poster try this tell to your
Omg! Young Kino already teaching and preaching crystal clear! I am so grateful to have such a professional and dedicated teacher to learn from!

Monica Utrilla de Neira Thanks for watching!
I do this, but I don;t do it with the grace you do. Thank you for the nice video.
Love the way you teach.
Thank you so much for this! Before, I always tried to jump and it would never work!
Haven't reached this asana yet. But you make it look so easy
Kino, thank you for this video. Great insights!!
OMG!!
This is the posture that you recommended to me to get more strength in the forearms...
This is quite challenging, I must say... lol
But, this is perfect as a transition movement.
Thank you so much for your help.
This was perfectly instructed. I’ve been over arching my back
sweet jesus. you make it look so easy.
YOU ARE SO AMAZING KINO! REAL INSPIRATION :)
This is SO helpful! thank you so much for sharing!

This is excellent.
Helped me so much! Thank you!
Great tutorial
Thanks
OMG IT WORKED!!!THXXX
Awesome
Superb
;) great teaching! thankyou
Amazing! I have a question Kino, would be better to start against a wall? Thanks. X
If I have a trouble getting the first leg vertical, is it ok that I bend the lower leg slightly and give a little push up?
You look great! How long have you been practicing? Namaste!
Woof you KINO🎈🎈🎀🎀
Amezing

When I try this at a wall, my hands slide closer to one another and refuse to stay squared to my shoulders. What is the cause of this?
kino you are so beautifuf. i m curious to know is your beauty also affect of yoga or is it just natural?
Lo encuentro muy bueno ! pero, ¿no hay algo para poder tener subtitulos en español ?soy de Chile. Por favor!
Would you recommend learning a handstand, before the forearm balance?
which is better to learn first mayurasana or pinchamayurasana
I love your videos !!
I'm working towards a handstand. Would consider this pose before mastering the handstand?
Thank you for your videos- there truly inspirational and useful! I'm an expat living in New Delhi could you recommend any teachers or schools in this area to learn ashtanga yoga? Thanks again x
Hi Kino. Would you recommend it doing this pose supporting with the wall? I am still not able to lift my body without a bit of jump. Just can't make out as where am I making a mistake. :(
Thank you for your help! ;-)
Can I practice to do this without trianer, there is no fitness in my town:)
Yes, you can. If you're totally new I'd recommend you start with my one month beginner yoga challenge. Find the playlist on my channel page and subscribe.
Thanks,,😆😆

What happens if we arch the back in the beginning? It’s happening to me 😒
Hi Kino, i learned to balance in pincha with your 30-minute flow for a month now, may i ask what you would suggest to avoid the banana shape, i have it? Will conscious constant pressing up help? Thanks!
está dama lo puede todo!! que flexibilidad
Amazing video, but immediately when I go down on my elbows I feel that they have nowhere near enough strength to support my whole body... Can you help??? Thanks
Kino, do you have recommendations for this pose with really tight hamstrings? It's hard to walk my legs in close due to tight/short hamstrings.
***** Focus on forward bend poses in your practice to warm up.
Jusr stretch consistently
Kino you are too sweet in this video! 😘
What's the quote from the Yoga Sutra again please?
I feel the weight transfer when the leg is up and the other leg lifts a little but I can't lifted up because I tend to fall over same thing happens to me when on reg hedstand I can't go farther than with my knees on my chest AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?????
Thanks
why do I get major rug burn on my elbows when I do this pose??
Thanks Jonathan! I do have one video on meditation :-) Check it out.
I prefer to have my hands close together (thumbs touching) and elbows shoulder width apart. I find this to give me a bigger heart opener. Is this incorrect?
When I try this, I can't get up because my upper back hurts too much. Can I do something about that?
Omg 🌟
Its a working progress...
Hi Kino, every time when I practice this pose there are bruises appeared at my elbows, but this would not happen in my elbow plank or headstand. Why is like that?
are you using a yoga mat?
Can i know how to overcome this problem?
I can do an elbow stand on the wall but I can't hold it without the wall freely like you can do it. Any tips? ( i think I just need more strength and stability and core strengths I'll practise them.
It's just takes more practice :)
Love very strongly ,passionately and forcefully for your miracles action,postures
I can't transfer the weight. No matter how closely I walk my legs.
Cool
I like the way u pronounce sanskrit sutras
I have the strength I need to do this, but I can't get my legs close enough to bring my hips over my shoulders. Any tips/modifications? I feel like I should be flexible enough to do it, but I don't know, I can't do it without collapsing my shoulders forward.
+Elizabeth Tcheiguine Bend your knees a little or if you can't walk your feet in, then try to work on deepening your forward bend and your shoulder flexibility. And remember, be patient and don't force yourself.
👍🏻🙏🏼
I keep face planting to the floor once the lower leg floats off the floor....
Try and push your elbows forward but not too forward into a bridge ( depends if u want elbow bridge )
if u got a humped back how am i suppose to help that please help
You can't just lean over if your hamstrings are tight. So I have to kick a little to get myself up there.
This posture can help for have suffering from like and epilepsy some others patient can do this poster it's wonderful to help for healthy tips of this poster try this tell to your
i knew that as Tinger Stand
Planks are probably a breeze once you can do this!
This is easy
*does it and breaks back*
