love this. dog, cat and bird. It helps to keep this in mind. I can always step forward but it would be more fun to jump forward.
Thanks!
My jump improved a lot with this tutorial
That was super helpful - the tip about the tailbone made all the difference!
Very helpful. I am trying these tips and can do a shorter hop. Trying to get my feet up closer to my hands!
Perfect cueing... I felt light and ready to fly
So pleased to hear that this tip worked for you!
It made such a different in my own practice when it was taught to me :)
I love this tutorial!!! Dog, cat, bird!! I will keep practicing with these tips. It doesn't help I am overweight apple shaped and must always have a knee blanket down but I admired some beatutiful fat pelicans off the Florida gulf coast last week, so have much hope!! Thank you so much.
Oh God, this made me laugh! I'm in the same boat, haha. :)
Thanks, Rachel for your confidence-inspiring cues! I'm glad to have some solid guidance as I work towards floating towards the top of my mat.
This is something I find super difficult, despite having the arm strength and flexibility. The tips and demos should help - thanks Rachel!
Thank you Rachel. I especially appreciate the positive, helpful attitude.
Very instructive. Thx.
This is an incredibly helpful tutorial that shows how mini adjustments can be the difference between thumping and learning to gently hop between the hands and then even forward into more postures. Thank you. Namaste from Ireland.
