ashtanga yoga jump backs, jump throughs

 

 

Hi all,

 

I'm a beginner ashtanga student working my way through the first series. The

idea of being able to do a jumpthrough, let alone place my hands next to my

hips and rotate my body in order to do a jump back (or handstand!) seems

nearly impossible. Does anyone have any recommendations that I can keep

in mind during my practice? I realize I should be engaging my locks, but they

still don't seem strong enough. Thanks for any help!

I too have this same problem. I am fairly tall and it is very difficult for

me to jump through during a vinyasa.

I used to have the same problem, and I just assumed that it was because my

legs are so long.... but with the advice from a great instructor, I have

mastered the jump through now. since the legs are longer than the arms they have

to

be as parallel to the floor as possible during the jump through. keep your hips

as low as you can as you jump forward... its basically that the body stays in

a full forward bend as it comes through the arms. and as always remember to

exhale deeply... the exhalation will let u move deeper into the forward

bending position.

now as for jump backs, I havent quite got that yet lol.

Namaste,

Carrie

Practice beginning arm balances. In crow, (kakasana) try straightening your arms

and floating your feet up under you. That will start to build the internal

strength that you need. You will start to see that those moves come from a

natural progression. It eventually will feel like you almost don't have a

choice. You float up to the next movement. Unless you have a lot of arm

strength, muscling through it is not an option which is a good thing because the

transition should feel light and playful.

Just take your time. Moving too quickly may frustrate

you in the long run. Also, don't compare yourself to

other students in class. The core strength comes with

consistent practice. It's been a year for me and I am

still working on all of what you are speaking of.

Hey thank you all for the great advice. I will definitely try and

incorporate some of your techniques and see what happens. It will be

challenging to say the least but it is all about overcoming obstacles.

 

 

 

Thanks again.

After receiving some really good advice I have been able to develop my jump

throughs. They have come along way and I now have another question. During

downward dog, my hands are stretched out above my head. When I do the jump

through, I come to rest way too far forward and have to move myself back

down on the mat.

 

 

 

What am I not considering?

 

 

 

Thanks again.
