Crane Pose / Bakasana

0 Comments

Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga in Royal Oak Michigan demonstrating Crane Pose / Bakasana from Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice.
I've had more than a few students this past week asking me about setting up Crane Pose / Bakasana, so I thought I'd make another video regarding some details.

I've posted crane tutorials before, but perhaps I'll mention or show something a little differently here that might highlight some aspect of the posture in a new or different way that is helpful.

But as always, the secret is not so much in having it explained just right, but in practicing many times. Trying and failing again and again, combined with not settling for "good enough".

That said, here are some tips...
  • Set the knees (not the shins) as high up on the back of the arms as you can get them.
  • Tuck your knees into the arms and thighs into the ribs.
  • Start with the arms/elbows about 75% straight, then  over time progress to 100% straight arms.
  • If you never fall/lose your balance, you're probably holding back.
  • Find a teacher that pushes you out of your comfort zone.

To receive more guidance developing your practice you can register for in person or online classes at the link below.

See you in class!

Chaturanga Dandasana

0 Comments

Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga in Royal Oak MI discussing details of Chaturanga Dandasana.
That so many people do not follow the steps mentioned in this video, is why I have little hair left on the top of my head, as it has been pulled out!  :)

Specifically, the modification of dropping the knees until one develops the strength to move through this transition smoothly.  I suspect it's a pride thing.  They don't want to appear weak by using the knees to do a push up.  Although this is rarely, if ever admitted.

Not to get lost down the rabbit hole of psychoanalysis, I'll just stay on point with the details mentioned in this video.  If you come to Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice, like many do, being a little upper body strength challenged, be patient, be humble, be playful.  If you practice consistently, there will be improvement sooner than you might think.  

But please don't let fear of looking foolish (pride), keep you from practicing!  As I watch my parents get older, I am constantly reminded of the value of maintaining the skill of being able to pick one's self up off the floor, and what happens if you let it go.   

Get to class.  Surround yourself with others who are working on what it is that you want to achieve, as well as inspirational role models, who are where you want to be.

Keep going.

Bhujapidasana

Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga demonstrating transitioning to and from Bhujapidasana.
The video above is a demonstration of a polished entrance and exit from Bhujapidasana resulting from many years of Ashtanga practice. 

​Here is an example of stepping into Bhujapidasana.

Both transitions still take time to develop in which the hardest part is consistently showing up week after week.

See you in class!
