What to say…before I met I was living a very disciplined lifestyle, no caffeine, no alcohol, no animal products…but also very little joy and celebration in my life. The reminder that the purpose of this practice is get better at living and living the short time have in this life. Yes I need discipline and that rigid lifestyle for some time but I also needed to find my way back to having fun, and living La Dulce Vita. Young Ho, you’ve been a friend, a mentor, a teacher, a student, a brother, a supporter, a fan, and a pain in the 🍑when you’ve made me wake up before sunrise to take photos 😴Thanks for a the laughter, my abs are stronger since knowing you 🤣 I love you, happy 49th!

Many folks said it was wrong to have the hands wider in so let’s take a look at Ashtavakrasana with hands closer together (photo 1), notice the forearm angle that’s caused by this (elbows), and notice the shoulder alignment. Then let’s take a look at photo 2 and 3 with wide hands, notice the forearms are more vertical and less strain on the wrist, the opposing shoulder is less dropped. Seeing these photos would you still say that photo 2 and 3 are incorrect and photo 1 is the better alignment?

I’m not saying you need to have hands this wide for chaturanga, but many people said it’s injurious or wrong to do so. To be clear the upper body is in chaturanga in this pose. So I ask, is there only one way to do chaturanga or would it be beneficial to practice multiple alignments for chaturanga?

I will also be going over HOW to do Chaturanga with Hands close together - what exactly you will need to do at the GH joint (shoulder) and Scapulocostal Joint (shoulder blades).

Phase 2 & 3 of Chaturanga is to learn to jump back

✅using a blacked for sliding enables you to slow down and refine the shoulder mechanics. Again hands wider will recruit more muscle making it easier.

⚠️IMPORTANT - if you never do Chaturanga with hands wide, pushups, or Bench Press, than it’s likely that you won’t feel strong in this position due to the fact that you haven’t done the exercises that target strength building in these areas. Will it be easier now? No. But over time building strength in the Serratus, and pec major means your triceps and pec minor won’t have to do all the work, you’ll gain more power and be able to hold more weight, making the jump back more accessible, easier, more predictable, and more graceful.

👉Bending the knees is where I suggest starting, you can pretty much get your entire upper body in position and then slide back

👉Eventually sliding back with straight legs as you build strength

My 2nd longest relationship is I first met Handstand when I was young but I wasn’t ready. Then in 2009 I worked hard to transform into the kind of person that would deserve a relationship with Handstand.

😅ok enough metaphor - Handstand is truly something that requires

👉curiosity
👉dedication
👉focused attention (discipline or obsession)

🎯Use the first one “curiosity” to get through self doubt, and to seek out someone who can provide you with the proper drills for the second two.

🤸‍♂️ Hold the dates July 11-13 - something special is happening with me and .yoga
