Your core strength is NOT what lifts your feet in arm balances 🤯 I know that goes against everything you’ve ever been told online and in yoga class, but before you think I’m full of it and scroll away, let me tell you what DOES lift your feet. Physics and trust!! NOT strength! Getting your feet to lift (and stay lifted) is all about shifting your center of gravity (usually your hips) over your base (usually your hands), which requires you to leaaaan forward! This is where many of us get stuck because leaning super far forward on your hands is SCARY! It asks you to lean into fear and TRUST, not just yourself, but trust your body and TRUST that if you lean a little too far and nose-dive, you’ll be okay. That’s exactly why learning to fly is so transformative. When you break through that moment of fear on your hands and finally fly, you’ll be able to lean into trust and do the same off your mat. Ready to unlock ninja magic on your mat and in your life and dig into all the details that make arm balances and inversions possible without needing more strength? I’m hosting a FREE online arm balance and inversions training all this week! You’ll learn everything you need to fly in the body you have right now, receive personalized coaching to support you in your unique practice, and have access to an incredible community of ninjas from all over the globe! If you’ve been struggling to fly or don’t know where to start, NOW is your time! 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to sign up! . . . #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 DON’T need crazy core strength to pike into headstand! First of all, how badass does piking into headstand look?! 🤩 I hear all the time, "Wow, your core must be SO strong to be able to do that!" And while I pick up some heavy weights when I remember to, that's NOT what allows me to pike. Secretly, piking into headstand is not about core strength at all. It's all about shifting one of the heaviest parts of your body (your hips) over and slightly behind your shoulders to create counterbalance for your legs. Watch my hips in this video 👆. When my hips are in front of my shoulders (closer to my feet), my legs feel like bricks (who turned up the gravity in here?!). When my hips shift slightly behind my shoulders—💥BOOM! My feet get light and lift effortlessly. Yes, you might need to put your feet on blocks or an elevated surface to make that possible, but….it’s still not a strength move! If you're muscling and grunting your way into your pike, your hips are likely just not in the right place! Getting your body to do incredible things upside down is about understanding the mechanics of how balance works in each pose. And if you feel like you need to muscle your way into ANY arm balance or inversion, I can guarantee you're likely missing a few key mechanics! If you're ready to learn the in-depth, step-by-step details you might be missing that make this and virtually any arm balance and inversion possible in ANY body, my team and I are hosting a FREE live training all this week! 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to sign up!

This Side Crow tip feels illegal to know 🤫 If you’ve ever been to a yoga class where the teacher offered side crow, you might have learned to balance your hips on both arms. That’s definitely one way to fly. But for most of us, practicing the pose like that feels heavy and cramped and can make transitions almost impossible. Instead we want to fly our side crow on just the ONE arm. It’s actually NOT harder than the other way. It’s ALL about the mechanics. Here’s how to make that happen: Swivel your hips to stack them directly over your supporting elbow. ✨ What happens when you do this? ✔️ You feel lighter in the pose. ✔️ You free up your other elbow, making transitions easier and smoother. ✔️ You feel like YOU CAN FLY. Check out the difference that tiny adjustment made in my side crow! 😱 When you focus on mechanics instead of muscling through, things click FAST. It’s truly not about strength but understanding how to position your body and joints the RIGHT way. Did this little hack blow your mind? ✨ Then you’re going to LOVE what’s coming next: I’m hosting a FREE week-long training next week with my team, where you’ll learn all the tiny details and the unique Yogi Flight Method® that will get you balancing FAST in the body you have right now. We’ll be hosting live workshops with personalized coaching to help YOU have the breakthrough you’ve been dreaming of!

3 Things You NEED to Know About Half Moon Pose 👇 Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) is one of my favorite standing poses in yoga. It'll test your balance and flexibility and is a really fun pose to use in transitions! Be sure to SAVE this post so you can try these tips in your next practice! 1️⃣ If you feel like your top leg weighs 50 pounds... Engage your glutes, flex your foot, and drive through your heel as if you're aiming for a karate kick. The more active your top leg is, the lighter it will feel! 2️⃣ Don't forget about your bottom leg! Keeping your top leg engaged will help keep you lifted, but your bottom leg is what keeps you stable in your Half Moon. Hugging the outer hip of your bottom leg IN allows you to open your top hip to stack it over the bottom, and voila! No more floppy, heavy Half Moon! 3️⃣ Take the ego out of the equation! If you want to CRY every time you come into Half Moon because you can't reach the floor but can't stay lifted, use a block! Blocks offer support by bringing the floor up to meet you so you can practice the pose in a way that feels good for your unique body! If you just learned something new about Half Moon and want even more detailed pose tips and modifications to help you practice confidently... 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to check out my No Bullsh*t Yoga Pose Library that breaks down over 90 of the most common yoga poses.

Don't do another Triangle Pose until you read this!👇 Here are 3 things you NEED to know about Trikonasana (Triangle Pose): Triangle Pose is an expansive pose, but I often see people rounding their shoulders and collapsing forward to reach their lower hand to the floor. Let's fix that! 1️⃣ Face down, ass up is not the objective here! Think length, not depth. Imagine your spine is a slinky and create length through your torso. Let your hand land where it does naturally, and resist the urge to nose dive towards the floor. 2️⃣ Keep your core engaged. Feel like you're dumping weight into your bottom hand? Focus on lifting your top hand towards the ceiling. Think UP, not DOWN. 3️⃣ Ditch cues that don't make sense, like "Imagine your body is stuck between two panes of glass." This outdated cue can cause you to roll your top hip open, which puts stress on your inner groin. Let your top hip roll down naturally and focus on creating length through your side body. I know how frustrating it is to go to yoga and feel like you're constantly looking around and feeling confused about whether or not you're doing the poses 'right.' This is exactly why I created my No Bullsh*t Yoga Pose Library. It's the ultimate guide to understanding more than 90 of the most common yoga poses and feeling confident to practice them in a way that feels good in your unique body. 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to get all the info! 👉 Don't forget to share this with a friend who loves yoga! . . . #armbalancetraining #yogabalancepose #yogabalanceact #yogabalancepose #yogabreath #onandoffthemat #yogaforbegginers #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

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.

This one phrase can transform your yoga practice 🧘‍♀️ Ever heard the term ‘monkey mind’? If you’ve ever stayed up at night replaying that one thing you said five years ago… you’ve experienced it. In a world full of yoga influencers handstanding in precarious places, it’s easy to forget that standing on your hands or contorting your body into fancy shapes is not the purpose of yoga. Patanjali wrote (or compiled) the foundational handbook for a lot of what we know about Raja Yoga today. To make it easier to remember, he created short verses called the Yoga Sutras. Out of 195 (196 depending on the translation!) Sutras, Sutra 1.2 is my favorite. It reads ‘Yogas citta vritti nirodhah’, which can be translated as ‘Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind.’ In other words, yoga is QUIETING YOUR MONKEY MIND. It reminds us that our yoga practice exists not to teach us how to do cool shit (while that’s definitely a bonus) but to teach us how to be present with ourselves and not get involved with all of our unhelpful thoughts. So many of us get caught up in our stories about why we’re not good enough or strong enough, why we don’t deserve that job or that relationship, whatever it may be. Yoga Sutra 1.2 says, in not so many words, either you control your thoughts, or your thoughts control you.

It reminds us that our yoga practice exists not to teach us how to do cool shit (while that’s definitely a bonus) but to teach us how to be present with ourselves and not get involved with all of our unhelpful thoughts. So many of us get caught up in our stories about why we’re not good enough or strong enough, why we don’t deserve that job or that relationship, whatever it may be. Yoga Sutra 1.2 says, in not so many words, either you control your thoughts, or your thoughts control you.

Tipping over when you try to do Mermaid Pose? Mermaid pose is a gorgeous back-bendy variation of single pigeon - one of my favorite poses. While mermaid pose looks graceful and elegant, sometimes getting into it can feel anything but 😩. If you're constantly toppling over, here are a few tips to help you find stability in your mermaid pose. 🧜‍♀️ Check out the placement of your front knee. Shifting your knee slightly to the outside of your shoulder increases the surface area of your foundation and can give you a much more stable base. 🧜‍♀️ Push your front shin DOWN into the mat. This simple shift engages your pelvic floor to provide stability and keep you lifted UP! 🧜‍♀️ Bonus tip: use props! Slide a block or blanket underneath your front hip to quite literally prop you up and offer some additional support! Give these a try and see if you notice a difference! If you want more detailed tips and pose breakdowns like this 👆, you NEED my No Bullsh*t Yoga Pose Library! With detailed step-by-step instructions, modifications, and progressions for over 90 yoga poses, you’ll feel empowered to practice in a way that feels amazing for YOUR body. 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to check it out! . . . #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 core strength the key to balancing a handstand and other inversions? Nope! Contrary to popular belief, endless core work won't magically get you your handstand. Truthfully, if you have enough core strength to stand up and walk around, you already have what it takes to hold a handstand. Balancing your handstand (and really any inversion) in the middle of the room is about understanding three very specific things: 👉 The detailed mechanics of the pose and step-by-step actions that need to happen in your body. 👉 Using your fingers to help control, maintain, and readjust your balance. 👉 Trusting yourself upside down and being willing to go into the fear zone (the fear zone is where balance occurs!) It's not about your core strength, and it's definitely not about just kicking up and seeing what happens. If you're tired of doing endless bicycle crunches and wondering WHY balance isn't happening for you, you're just missing a few key pieces and the guidance you need to put it all together. The good news? That's exactly what I specialize in teaching, and I want to help YOU make your handstand dreams a reality. 🚨Yogi Flight School LIVE is open for enrollment until TOMORROW (January 13th). Jump in now and receive: ✨ Lifetime access to the most effective arm balance and inversions program, designed to get you flying in just weeks. ✨ Lifetime access to personalized coaching for YOUR unique body from me and my team of arm balance and inversion pros.

Yoga Philosophy 101: Episode 3, Asteya Welcome back to another episode of learning how to live your yoga off your mat. If you missed the first two episodes, scroll back in my feed to check out Episodes 1 and 2! In Sanskrit, Asteya means 'non-stealing.' If you've been following along with this series so far, you probably already know that practicing Asteya means so much more than just not taking what doesn't belong to you physically. Asteya asks us to go deeper and notice the subtle ways we “take” from ourselves or others without realizing it. 👉 When you’re late, you’re stealing time from those who were counting on you. 👉 When you compare yourself to others, you’re stealing joy from your own experience. 👉 When you mentally check out, you’re stealing presence and connection from the moment in front of you. When we look at life through the lens of Asteya, it allows us to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. We can then stop grasping for what we think we lack and instead honor all the richness we already have, creating a ripple effect out into the world. It’s not always easy, but it’s transformational. ✨ 🔴 Ready to dig deeper into Yoga Philosophy?

🤔 Think endless core work will unlock your inversions? Listen very carefully... it won't. Seriously, can we please end the narrative that more core work is THE thing that will get you flying? The truth is, balancing Pincha Mayurasana (forearm stand) and every other inversion has much more to do with mechanics, building mobility in the areas that need it, and engaging the body parts that allow you to fly than sheer strength. I know this goes against everything you've ever been told about inversions, but hear me out👇 Taking your forearm stand or handstand off the wall and flying them virtually anywhere boils down to understanding two key things: ✨ Warming up in a way that prepares your body and mind to know exactly what you're asking them to do when you get upside down. ✨ Learning the very specific details that make these poses possible without needing insane core strength or flexibility. If you're ready to stop doing endless core work and finally make sense of these poses in the body you have right now, join me and my team of Certified Yogi Flight School coaches online for a FREE week-long arm balance and inversions training. You'll learn our signature Yogi Flight Method® that has helped thousands of ninjas unlock balance insanely fast—without extra core work.

Tired of constantly asking, ‘WTF’ in your arm balance practice? If you can relate to this, 👆 you’re not alone. I know exactly what it’s like to feel frustrated, confused, and disappointed when you’re struggling, and your yoga teacher says, “Just keep practicing. It’ll come.” But when?! And more importantly, HOW?! Here’s the thing: practice matters, yes. But what most of us are never told (which keeps us stuck) is WHAT to practice to make these poses possible. It’s not about endless repetition and hoping things magically click one day because, really, when has that ever worked? It’s about understanding the right approach and specific details that allow you to fly. And if you’re never taught what those are, how often you practice won’t matter.

This 1️⃣ Adjustment Will Transform Your Inversions! If you’re struggling with a banana back in Handstand or Pincha, this is for you! Before I say anything else, I want to preface by saying that having a slight backbend in your inversions isn’t necessarily a bad thing! I’m not here to preach “perfect” alignment, but being aware of what your body is doing can dramatically improve how your practice feels. 99% of the time, when a student asks me why they’re banana backing, it isn’t because they need stronger shoulders. It’s usually due to the position of their neck! If you tend to look far ahead while balancing, try this: 👉 Shift your gaze between your thumbs (in Handstand) or elbows (in Pincha) and see if you feel a difference!

Say goodbye to wrist pain in your yoga practice! This isn't talked about enough, but if you dread Downward Facing Dog or feel like your wrists are going to break every time you're in Plank or Crow pose, it's most likely because of how you're placing your hands on the floor. You won't learn this in most yoga classes, but the two keys to reducing wrist pain in your yoga practice are (1) engaging your fingers and (2) shifting your weight out of the heels of your hands. Think about it – when you're balancing in Tree Pose, your foot, toes, and lower leg muscles are actively working to support you, right? The same thing applies when you're balancing on your hands! Here are two different hand positions you can try if you struggle with wrist pain: 🐸 Hasta Bandha. Imagine you're a tree frog clinging to a branch. Spread your fingers wiiiide and grip your mat. 🕷️ Spider fingers. Grip your mat and then drag your fingers back like you're trying to pick up your yoga mat. If you've ever seen professional hand balancers, this is their go-to for creating control on their hands! Both activate and help you create stability and control on your hands while preventing wrist pain. If you give them a try, let me know in the comments which one you prefer!

"What are the benefits of arm balances?" I've been getting this question a lot lately, and as someone who specializes in teaching and loves to practice arm balances, I LOVE this question. Beyond looking cool on Instagram, there are TONS of benefits to learning arm balances. To name a few... 👉 They bring us front and center with our fear. Let's face it. Fear is the number one thing that holds most of us back, not just in our practice. Looking your fear right in the eye and proceeding to do what scares you anyway builds courage and teaches you to trust yourself enough to go for the things you want in life. 👉 They remind us that learning anything is a process, and there WILL be failures on the road to and alongside success. Have you ever seen a baby fall and say, "Welp, walking's not for me"? Nope. They get up and try again. No overthinking and no stories. This practice reminds us that falling and failing is just part of the process. 👉 They're badass! Nothing is as empowering as knowing I can hold my entire body weight on my hands anywhere I want! AND they've helped me become pretty damn strong! I could go on and on, but the best way to understand how transformative arm balances can be is to try them for yourself! If you practice arm balances, I’d love to hear why below.

Are you wasting your energy? Without even realizing it, many of us are. We scroll endlessly (guilty!) or binge Netflix (also guilty) and wonder why we feel constantly drained. The fourth Yama (or restraint) of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras - Brahmacharya - invites us to reflect on where our energy is used, and asks us to get curious about how we spend our time. Originally a requirement to be celibate as a yogi, Brahmacharya can be translated as 'behavior which leads to Brahman.' In yoga philosophy and Hinduism, Brahman is considered to be 'the creator' or energy of the universe. This ancient wisdom reminds us that how you direct your energy shapes your life, and the things you do daily will either bring you closer or farther from your highest self. Take a moment to think about some things you do regularly that leave you feeling drained, tired, and unfulfilled. And in what ways can you shift your energy to feel more aligned on and off your mat? When you begin to look at your life through the lens of Brahmacharya, you’ll see exactly how you need to shift to live a life that feels intentional and fulfilling. Interested in learning more about yoga philosophy and how everything we do on the mat connects to everything we do off the mat? 🔴 Click the l!nk in my b!o to check out my No Bullsh*t Yoga Philosophy course that breaks all of this down so you can start living your yoga today! . . #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

It took me 5 YEARS to free-balance my handstand. Not because it should take anyone 5 years… But because I was going about it the wrong way. I wanted to KNOW how to balance before I put in the time to figure it out in my body. I wanted the result without being super committed to the process. I compared myself to everyone... I blamed my body - it's gotta be a problem with my shoulders, right!? During those 5 years, I constantly felt frustrated and defeated. No matter how many workshops I went to, Instagram posts I saved, or workouts I did to build strength, nothing seemed to make a difference. When I finally unlocked my free-standing handstand, I realized most people stay stuck in their practice like I did because they’re focusing on all the wrong things. Now, I specialize in teaching beginner and advanced yogis the RIGHT things to focus on that make these shapes possible in weeks (sometimes DAYS) instead of years. Because the truth is, when you focus on the right things, balance in all sorts of shapes happens fast. But it requires you to go where you haven't been willing to go up until now, and become a different version of yourself in the process. If you’re ready to get on your hands and upside down without it taking YEARS, join me and my team for a free online training that will completely transform your practice! You’ll learn: ✅ How to balance faster by focusing on the right stuff, like how your hands work to control your balance (Who knew?!) ✅ Mindset shifts to help you trust yourself ✅ How to fall safely so you can build confidence to kick up anywhere ✅ And so much more! 2025 is the year you finally nail those inversions! 🔴 Click the l!nk in b!o to sign up, and I’ll send you the details!
