Struggling with wrist pain in your yoga practice? If you feel like your wrists will give out whenever you come into Plank Pose, or if you've ever told yourself that your wrists aren't strong enough for Crow pose, here's what you're missing. Gripping your fingers!! One of the biggest mistakes I see in yoga is students slapping their hands onto the mat with fingers close together and their palms flat as a pancake…..and then wondering why their wrists hurt. Here’s why: In poses like Downward Facing Dog, Plank, or any arm balance, your hands and wrists are supporting your entire body weight. If you’re not actively engaging your hands and forearms, ALL of your weight dumps into the heel of your hand, which leads to - you guessed it - wrist pain! Here’s how to fix it: 👉 Spread those fingers WIDE and grip your mat with all of your fingertips. 👉 Imagine your arms are straws, and you're sucking energy UP from the floor through the palm of your hand and through your arms (sound effects help!) By redistributing the weight from the heels of your hands into your fingers, you’ll take pressure off your wrists and activate Hasta Bandha (the hand lock), and the difference it can make is INSANE! 🔴 If you want to learn more hacks just like this so you can finally get out of wrist pain, head over to my 'Wrist Tips' playlist to check out my top tips for dealing with and getting rid of wrist pain! . . . #armbalancetraining #yogabalancepose #yogabalanceact #yogabreath #onandoffthemat #yogaforbeginners #flexibilitytips #yogapracticeeveryday #handbalancing #yogatips #learnyoga #handstandtraining #yogastrength #yogaflexibility . how to arm balance yoga, how to do handstand, crow pose yoga, balancing yoga poses, yoga arm balances for beginners, arm balance yoga class, learn yoga arm balance

"How do I get my knees into my armpits for Crow pose?" I get this question all the time from students who were told to bring their knees as high as they can for Crow pose. Here's the secret 👇 You don't need to! How high you can get your knees into your armpits completely depends on how much hip flexion (the ability to bring your thigh up to your chest) you have in your body. And, more importantly, the knees can be placed ANYWHERE along the arm from the elbow to the armpit for Crow pose!! So whether you can shove those kneecaps up in the armpit or not DOESN’T MATTER! Your level of hip flexion does become more important when you start to play with poses like Crane pose that DO require you to have your knees in your armpits, but for Crow pose, not so much. Placing your knees anywhere from the tip of your elbow to your armpit is fair game! Find the knee placement that feels best in your body and roll with it. 💥 Once you understand the details and mechanics that make these poses possible, you will never tell yourself you're not flexible enough for a pose ever again. 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to check out my Arm Balance Masterclass -totally free- that will break down Arm Balances step-by-step in a way that will get you flying in the body you have right now (like RIGHT now, let's go)! . . . #armbalancetraining #yogabalancepose #yogabalanceact #yogabreath #onandoffthemat #yogaforbeginners #flexibilitytips #yogapracticeeveryday #handbalancing #yogatips #learnyoga #handstandtraining #yogastrength #yogaflexibility . how to arm balance yoga, how to do handstand, crow pose yoga, balancing yoga poses, yoga arm balances for beginners, arm balance yoga class, learn yoga arm balance

🙃 Is this you? Butt-planting every time you attempt Firefly Pose (Tittibhasana)? Most of the students I speak to who struggle with this believe that they need to build more flexibility in their hamstrings or strength in their wrists or shoulders. When in reality, it's NONE of these things! Flying your arm balances, like this one, is about following a specific order of operations and understanding a few key mechanics. If your legs keep sliding off your arms, try these two game-changing adjustments (more flexibility and strength not required!): 👉 Bend your knees coming into the pose—a LOT! Bend your knees more than you think you need to so your hips can move back and your hands go flat. In arm balances, your fingers act like your brakes. If your hands aren't flat on the floor, you won't be able to activate your braking system properly, and any pose will feel wobbly and unstable. Bonus tip: Use blocks under your hands for extra support! 👉 Imagine you're using a 1990s Thigh Master. Lift one foot at a time and squeeze your inner thighs against your arms like crazy. This locks your legs in place and prevents that dreaded butt-plant!

Your gentle reminder that social media is a highlight reel 😘 I know how easy it can be to fall into the comparison game when you’re scrolling and see post after post of someone doing some crazy inversion shape in some obscure place. The next time you play the comparison game, remember that for every practice that looks like the first half, there are hundreds of practices that look like the second part. And that, my friends, is the beauty of yoga 🧘‍♀️ . . . #armbalancetraining #yogabalancepose #yogabalanceact #yogabreath #onandoffthemat #yogaforbeginners #flexibilitytips #yogapracticeeveryday #handbalancing #yogatips #learnyoga #handstandtraining #yogastrength #yogaflexibility . how to arm balance yoga, how to do handstand, crow pose yoga, balancing yoga poses, yoga arm balances for beginners, arm balance yoga class, learn yoga arm balance
You're not going to like me very much for this, but.... If you feel like you're busting your ASS in Yoga class (both physically and mentally) and wondering WHAT is wrong with you and WHY this is hard... You're doing it right. I know what you're going to say, 'But NAT, the whole point of yoga is to feel calm! It's supposed to be easy... right?' Sometimes, sure! But most of the time yoga is far from easy or comfortable. You hear me say this all the time but yoga is about so much more than the poses. It brings us front and center with our thoughts, habits, and patterns, and forces us to examine how we show up and interact in the world. Rather than avoiding discomfort, yoga equips us with the tools that allow us to sit with it and know that we'll be okay even when things are challenging or flat-out suck (like when your shoulders are screaming in Dolphin pose 😂). Stop stealing opportunities for growth by tapping out just because it’s hard. Transformation happens when you stay, breathe, and trust yourself. You got this. Did this resonate with you?

What's the deal with Skater Pose (AKA Skandasana)? This little Ninja Squat is one of my favorite poses to flow through in my practice - mainly because I'm a sucker for shapes we can make sound effects in 😂 If you notice that you struggle to get low to the ground or your heel pops up whenever you try to do this pose, here's why! If your hips are tight, you may feel like you physically cannot go any lower in your Ninja Squat. It could also be a matter of tight Achilles Tendons or lack of ankle Mobility. Skandasana brings us into a significant degree of ankle dorsiflexion (pulling your toes up towards your shin). If your ankle has a limited range of motion, your heel might lift as you try to sink into the pose. The good news? Mobility and flexibility can improve over time with practice! The even better news? Your Skandasana doesn't have to look like your Yoga teacher's to 'count.' (Say, WHAAATT?) Yep! There's no yoga police! Forget about perfection and focus on doing what feels good in YOUR body.

Squeeze dat ass! Yep, you heard me. Let me elaborate. Overstretched hamstring attachments (Yoga Butt) is one of THE most common injuries we see in yoga. This is because yoga is predominantly stretching. Think of your hamstrings like a rubber band. Over time, as you use your rubber band, it will lose elasticity and eventually not snap back to its original shape- right? Same thing with your hamstrings (kinda)! While flexibility is great, our muscles also have to be strong so they can KEEP bouncing back. So, how do we prevent overstretching? You squeeze dat ass! Try it in your forward fold 👇 💥 Activate your glutes and back body by bending your knees slightly and driving through your heels. 💥 As you fold, imagine you're doing a Deadlift at the gym. Keep the activation as you fold down and as you rise back up. By engaging your glutes, you’ll not only avoid injury but also feel more powerful and stable in every pose. You can thank me later 😘 If you struggle with pain in your practice, modifying or progressing poses for your body, or feel lost every time you go to yoga class... 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to check out my No Bullsh*t Yoga Pose Library.

Tight shoulders restricting your practice? I'm about to blow your mind 💥 It might not actually be tight shoulders 😱 If Wheel pose is a struggle, or if you feel like your hands are miles away from your heels in Camel, you might secretly have some tight pecs! Your Pectoralis major muscle (the big guy in your chest) is the most superficial of your Pec muscles. Its job is to not only adduct your arm (hug your arms in towards the midline), but it's also one of the main muscles responsible for taking your arm into flexion. This means if your Pec muscle is tight, movement could be restricted in both directions (flexion AND extension). Give these 2 magical Pec releases a try: 👉 Bend your elbow to 90° and place your hand on a wall. Press into the wall, then gently turn your chest away. Stay here for as long as it feels good. 👉 Grab a yoga block or foam roller. Place your prop under your armpit and roll slightly forward to create compression on your Pec. Stay for about 30 seconds to a minute, and breathe a LOT! Be sure to test out a pose you typically feel restricted in after you do these, and see if you notice a difference! 🔴 Want to learn more about using Myofascial Release to get out of pain in your practice and everyday life?

If you've ever said, "I'm not flexible enough to do that Yoga pose," this is for you. I hear my students say this ALL THE TIME. And to that, I say (with love) you're wrong! When I first started yoga, I couldn't even touch my toes. Some days, I still struggle! The point is this - your practice will work for you if you allow it to and if you take the time to explore on your yoga mat. Take a pose like Visvamitrasana. The full expression of this half Arm Balance half Side Angle Pose situation requires you to take your leg behind your arm, and I don't have that much space in my body YET. Rather than giving up and never practicing Visvamitrasana, I modify the pose to fit MY body by bringing my leg in FRONT of my arm rather than behind! And Voila! This variation feels both accessible and kinda great in my body, and I'm not fighting my own anatomy. (WIN!) And you don't have to, either!

If you’re a yoga teacher, this is for you! Whether you're new to teaching or have been teaching for some time and struggle to create fun and engaging classes, I have some advice for you! We can do this in many ways, but the most significant impact we can make on how our students feel physically is through intentional sequencing. And, it doesn't have to be complicated! When creating class sequences, I look at poses that make similar shapes in the body but in different orientations. For example, if I'm teaching a class that builds up to Eka Pada Koundinyasana B, I will include poses like Triangle Pose, Side Plank with a bind, and Half Moon - all of these poses work the hips in the same direction and work really well together. That way, when we get to Koundi B, the journey we took to get there feels seamless and makes sense in my student's bodies. If you're a yoga teacher, I'd love to know how you like to sequence!

Yoga Philosophy 101: Episode 2, Satya Missed Episode 1 on Ahimsa? Scroll back to catch it (or don’t, I’ll forgive you 😜). Satya is one of the 5 Yamas, which outline the moral and ethical code by which we get to interact with the world. Both the Yamas & Niyamas are part of a larger philosophical text called the Yoga Sutras, which can be seen as the guide book to finding spiritual liberation through yoga. The Yamas & Niyamas are steps 1 and 2 on the path that Patanjali describes as the path to ultimate inner peace. We can’t find inner peace if we’re lying to ourselves and others. Satya can be translated as 'truthfulness' is all about living your truth and owning TF out of who you are—not just in what you say, but how you live. It asks us to be authentic in our thoughts, words, and actions. This means owning and speaking your truth, living with integrity, aligning your actions with your word, and being honest with yourself and those you love, even if that requires us to go deeper and have the harder conversations. As you can see, it’s not just about “telling the truth”—it’s about living it. When you align with your truth, you create a life that feels empowering and entirely YOURS. Sometimes, living your truth is hard AF. Difficult choices need to be made. And it’s from living our truth that we can be FREE.

Are you constantly falling over in Bird of Paradise? 👆 Bird of Paradise (or Svarga Dvidasana) is a fun little yoga pose that requires balance, a little bit of flexibility, and some patience - but let's be honest, trying to balance while tied up in a bind can make you feel like you're about to topple over at any second 😂 If you feel more like a bird in a windstorm, you're most likely just missing a few key steps in your setup! The next time your Yoga teacher cues you to "take your Bird of Paradise," try THIS order of operations! 👉 Transfer your weight to your standing leg. Make sure to look UP rather than at the floor. If you're looking down, you're going to go down. 👉 Come up to stand while maintaining your bind. Before you do ANYTHING else, take a few breaths to pause here. 👉 Squeeze your butt cheek and hug your outer hip IN. Notice how that makes your standing leg feel more stable? 👉 Roll your shoulders back and stand up as tall as you can. Lastly, don't be in a rush to straighten your other leg! If you can't fully straighten your leg because your hamstrings are tight, meet your body where it is and trust that with time and practice, the flexibility will come.

What’s the MOST important thing in Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose (aka Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana B)? Getting your leg as high as you possibly can? or Keeping your pelvis aligned? You might hear different things from different teachers, but as a Yoga teacher obsessed with understanding how we can use our practice to build strength and prevent pain, I vote for option B (keeping your pelvis aligned). If you’re just swinging your leg up for the ‘gram, you’re likely dumping into your flexibility, which won't feel great over time. 😖 Rather than trying to be Elastigirl, here's what you wanna do. 👉 Ground through your standing leg and hug that outer hip IN. 👉 Stand up as tall as you can and THEN take your leg out to the side. If your leg doesn't straighten out fully, that's okay! Focus on maintaining the strength of the pose, and your flexibility will come over time. Yoga can be confusing. Especially when every teacher says something different, knowing what you should be doing in class can feel impossible. If you’re ready to stop feeling confused and practice with confidence in any yoga class, I’ve got you covered! 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to check out my No Bullsh*t Yoga Pose Library, where you'll learn in-depth cues, modifications, and progressions for more than 90 of the most common yoga poses! . . . #armbalancetraining #yogabalancepose #yogabalanceact #yogabreath #onandoffthemat #yogaforbeginners #flexibilitytips #yogapracticeeveryday #handbalancing #yogatips #learnyoga #handstandtraining #yogastrength #yogaflexibility . how to arm balance yoga, how to do handstand, crow pose yoga, balancing yoga poses, yoga arm balances for beginners, arm balance yoga class, learn yoga arm balance

Flying Pigeon (Eka Pada Galavasana) got you frustrated? Here's a sneaky tip to get flying! You typically see people getting into Flying Pigeon pose by tucking into a little ball first, then extending their back leg. I’m not gonna lie. That entry is hard. Because it requires you to balance AND MOVE YOUR LEG at the same time. But you know by now that I love to tweak poses to make them work for our bodies. So if you get “stuck” in the little ball version and can’t quite extend the leg from there, here is my favorite modification 👇 I won't explain exactly how to set up the pose now (stay tuned for the end to see how you can learn!). But once you're in position, slide your free leg towards the back of your mat. Check it out! That leg is now already extended and ready to fly! Once you're there, shift your body weight forward (MUCH further than you think). Notice how light your back leg becomes and how easily it flies! BOOM!! Be sure to SAVE this so you can try it for yourself!

Feeling frustrated AF with Crow pose? If you are constantly faceplanting, struggling to keep your knees on your arms or feel like your feet are glued to the floor… You’re not alone, and I promise there is nothing wrong with you! Most yoga classes skim over the key details that actually make arm balances work. Your teacher might say something vague like, “Put your hands here, knees there, and go!” So you do exactly that, aaand - boom - faceplant. I’ve been there, and it’s frustrating AF. But guess what? It doesn’t have to be! Secretly, what ACTUALLY makes these poses fly isn’t more strength or more flexibility like many people think. It’s understanding key mechanics such as: ✨ Engaging your finger brakes to control your balance. ✨ Activating Mula Bandha (your root lock) to feel weightless. ✨ Squeezing your inner thighs like you're using a '90s Thigh Master to keep your knees locked in place. If you're ready to learn these key mechanics (and so many more!) and discover how to apply them to your practice so you can finally unlock your arm balances and inversions... Join me and my team LIVE for a free week-long training that will completely transform your practice! Here’s what you can expect: 🧘‍♀️ Step-by-step breakdowns that will demystify Crow pose and other arm balances. 💡 Personalized feedback and coaching from me and my team of expert Yogi Flight School coaches to help YOU fly in the body you have today. 🚀 Breakthroughs that will leave you saying, “Wait, did I just do that?!” You’ll be amazed by what you're capable of! Seriously, the amount of ninjas who have breakthroughs in their practice within the first HOUR of trying the Yogi Flight Method® will blow your mind (and you can be one of them) 🤯 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to register!

The word Prana can be interpreted as “life force energy”or “breath of life” (how beautiful is that?) In yoga philosophy, Prana is considered the first building block of the Universe. Flowing within and around us, Prana is the invisible energy that connects us as physical beings to the non-physical universe. One of the most tangible ways to experience Prana is your breath. Your breath is the Prana life force and energy flowing through you, into the world, and back again in one continuous cycle. When you learn how to become not only aware of your breath but how to settle into and calm your breath, you can do the same with your thoughts. Before you scroll away, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Notice what happens when you really connect with your breath and your Prana ❤️ . . . #armbalancetraining #yogabalancepose #yogabalanceact #yogabreath #onandoffthemat #yogaforbeginners #flexibilitytips #yogapracticeeveryday #handbalancing #yogatips #learnyoga #handstandtraining #yogastrength #yogaflexibility . how to arm balance yoga, how to do handstand, crow pose yoga, balancing yoga poses, yoga arm balances for beginners, arm balance yoga class, learn yoga arm balance
