Ashtanga Yoga : Arm and Core Strength for Nakrasana with Kino MacGregor and Patrick Nolan

http:/www.KinoYoga.com
Ashtanga Yoga Instructor, Kino MacGregor show you how to do Nakrasana or Crocodile Posture. I remember the first time that I saw someone performing this posture from the Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Yoga I thought it was madness. In this movement you take plank or Chaturanga Dandasana, also known sometimes as Chatuari, and jump forward five times and jump backwards five times. The movement is best done with a clear use of the core strength of the body, stable shoulder strength and connected legs. If any component is missing then the posture will sag in certain bits. If the shoulders are not strong enough then the movement is not only impossible but unsafe. Patrick is my model to demonstrate some easy ways for you to try this posture safely whatever level you're at.

Kino is the co-owner and director of Miami Life Center (www.miamilifecenter.com). She is the creator of four Ashtanga Yoga DVDs and both teaches in Miami and travels the world internationally sharing the message of Ashtanga Yoga. Patrick Nolan is demonstrating and he is an Ashtanga Yoga teacher at Miami Life Center. Check out more about him and his full teaching schedule here: http://patricknolanyoga.com/
