  • how long have you been practicing for?

  • @pibwmp Maria Villella has been practicing for over ten years.

  • In Kurmasana I can get my legs totally straight and chin on the floor. When I try to lift my heels off the floor though, the only thing happens is my butt lifts a little. Nothing seems to happen with my feet. Any suggestions?

  • @ToddStrongYoga Lengthen the hamstrings, extend the forward fold, avoid rounding the back. And above all...breathing, breathing, breathing. Practice safely. Thanks for watching! ... Charles

  • Its amazing!! How long it took you to learn Bhujapidasana? It feals for me like my arms are too short and i'm unable to keep the balance coz it feels like im gonna hit my chin against the floor and im ending up dropping by bum to the floor instead.. not sure which way should i push the energy... please advise.

  • @domzalm1 You can also practice Bhujapidasana by lowering the top of your head (rather than your chin) to the floor. When balance is easy with the top of the head on the floor, and little effort is required to lower to the floor.. and lift up off the floor, then the method Maria Villella is demonstrating in this video becomes possible. Thanks for watching! ...Charles
