Love how EVERY TIME there is a hyper-flexibility modification I’m thinking, “yeah, that’s me…” I feel seen.

​@@CharlieFollowsI mentioned my 'hypo-mobility' on one of your videos recently. This means, for me, difficulty in certain asanas where placing my hands fully on the mat (as in downward dog or in Uttanasana) is difficult because I can't achieve a right-angle between forearm and hand. I'm exceptionally adept at getting my feet on the mat in downward dog! However, I experienced in Utthita Balasana, I have to use my toes or curl my feet out to find a comfortable position. I've wondered whether this is a condition that's been remarked on in yoga circles and, if so, there's any remedial work recommended. I've done Ashtanga yoga for c. 8 years but no teacher has ever picked up on it. btw - your videos are extremely pertinent and well-explained

Thank you so much 🙏

Best yoga on KZread. I am building a yoga studio in my new home and this Chanel will be on a ton! Wish wish there were more long form guided classes ❤

It would be helpful if you could make a video on transition between plank and down dog. Usually I feel that down dog is more effective with my feet closer in but, for plank I need to shift my feet a little further back. Thus, this transition becomes tricky.

Thank you . I really find downward facing dog difficult

I hope this helps you find a way that works for you 🙏

Thanks for your help on the report today it really well helped

You’re the best one to explain the moves, even tiny little bit but easy to follow and understand. Love ❤️

Appreciate the in-depth explanations for each pose!

you give such great directions. Seriously feel like my practice has improved

I have a picture in my head of how my body looks in alignment but I’d love my own personal out-of-body camera to check.

Always go to a yoga studio and do some basic classes with live teachers who can observe and correct you if necessary before doing yoga on the internet!

Thank you so much for your videos❤.

Hi! What do you use to edit your videos? They look so professional and cool!

Beautiful

I reaally want to put my heels on the mat, though.

Thanks

I needed this

I always overextend my elbows! Goop tip. Sometimes my left shoulder hyperextends doing this too, but I’m not sure how to prevent it

Thanks🌼✨

Thank you so much, you are so very kind and beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

What about "shining the elbow creases forward" and "rotating the shoulders outwards" as I've heard before?

Is it also okay to find alignment through plank then go into downward dog?

Yes you can enter that way too 😊

@@CharlieFollows awesome thank you!!!!

I think my biggest issue has been not keeping my hands shoulder distance. The right arm is always more anterior, so it’s been causing pain. I’m working on it.

How can I help my arms from getting so tired in this pose?

I feel like my feet or hands start sliding which makes it hard for me to find right alignment for downward dog, i usually end up dropping to knees kind of modified puppy. Not sure how to correct the sliding, might be a mat thing 🤷🏾‍♀️

what about if i have shortened muscles on the legs? i cant push ny hips up really

Do you think this pose should be avoided with diastasis recti? (I may have misspelled) I’m currently working on healing my diastasis recti (about 3 inch separation 😪) and I want to continue my yoga practice but have read online that DD should be avoided… not sure.. the pose feels fine and doesn’t hurt but the concern is the strain on the abdominals I suppose which furthers the separation.. was curious on your opinion or what you think :)

Hey thank you for your question. Usually I would recommend avoiding postures that stretch the abdomen, as you say to avoid further separation. I wouldn’t think Down dog would be too much of an issue but I am not an expert on this so I wouldn’t just go off what I say and would speak to someone more qualified to give you their opinion.
