This 35 min power yoga flow will help us build strength in upper arms, shoulders, core and flexibility through back body and shoulders which are required for this challenging inversion called Pincha Mayurasana or forearm balance.
Get ready for many plank holds, different dolphin pose variations, low boat holds, as well as hamstrings and shoulder stretches and a few final holds and exercises by the wall. You will need two blocks, s strap and a wall for this sequence.
Our intention will be to increase our stamina and resilience, build strength and improve flexibility while maintaining deep slow breathing and calm mind.
Put your best effort into this practice, rise up to a challenge but always remain mindful of your own body and signals it is sending you. Take breaks and modify if necessary. You can repeat this sequence as often as possible until it becomes easy for you.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me and subscribing to my channel.
Much love,
Marina

Wow! Another awesome video on preparing to go upside down. I thought I'd give this a go instead of the handstand practice. I definitely need to work on opening and loosening my shoulders. I love how you incorporate so much strength. Other videos I have followed seem to just flow into these poses but don't build the foundational strength needed to actually hold yourself. You really challenge me with the core exercises and full body movements. Also taking forward your last advice of having fun with these poses/practices. I always come away smiling and I make sure to video myself so I can tweak and see what I'm doing. One day I will need to do a little montage of my journey :P Always saving your videos into a playlist. Thank you for being so amazing!

Oh my goodness !!! Thank you very much for such a sweet and kind message Roisin ! I really appreciate it ! I do believe that "flowing" is not enough for these challenging inversions that require a lot of strength and skills. These poses require repetitions, drills...So I am happy that you choose to push your limits a little and enjoy this ! Keep on practicing - you will get there ! Much love !

You are so right. Most video just focus on stretches and loose aite of the strength part which in my opinion is the most important. You want whatever muscles you stretch to be strong if not you risk injury which I learned the hard way.

For some reason the strengthening exercises felt oh so hard today, I wanted to give up a couple of times but I pulled trough, because I didn't want to disappoint you, Marina, and I know that pushing through the hard times will make me even stronger. My wheel today blew my mind, it was the strongest, yet, and I felt so confident there and in the forearmstands by the wall. Soo cool! Thank you for what you do to inspire me! Your strength, positivity and encouragement really make a difference in me and my practice! 🙏🙏🙏🧡

okay, I had to pause this one today. My shoulders and upper back felt tired from the first 2 videos today that I decided not to push myself too far and risk injury or face planting! I went back and did your 45 min hip opener to finish this day of the challenge. I feel amazing and my back and hips feel warm and worked in all the good ways. Thank you for another wonderful practice!

Challenging, long holds, forearm side plank was killing, but the feeling afterwards is just fantastic! I looove pincha, but I never had the courage to try because I knew I was not strong enough. After the last 4 weeks I’m stronger and more confident, but most of all I trust your guidance!! Your explanations, the sequences you make and the encouraging words and smiles are formidable!

Can hold it even just for a few seconds. What i learn today that is crucial 'do not fear the pose'. Thank you Marina! Really love your practices. It's challenging and fun.

oh wow !!!! I am very excited and happy for you Theresia !!! Congrats !!! I remember that my pincha took me much longer than a headstand. It is a different game already - it requires more strength and balance. And I do believe that this practice strengthens and activates the right muscles in your body that help you with this inversion. I would recommend you to repeat it a few more times so that every exercise becomes easy and you will notice even more progress ! And thank you for such a kind message !!!

Week 3 Day 4! These challenges just make me stay so very motivated, especially this practice sesh, It was hard to do these but some how got through them. Dolphin pose got me well 😂I struggled a lot in that pose & including keeping your forms on the ground while doing bridge posture. I wonder how flexible Marina is I'm not even a quarter of flexible of it! anyways thanks to Marina for make thing way easier!

@MarinaAlexeeva 3 жыл бұрын
I totally understand that Kylie ! I would recommend the following: strengthen your core. It's the center of your body which holds you together. The more strength you have there, the fewer times you will be falling over. Secondly, falling over into a forearm wheel is normal. We all do it and often on purpose - it is like tik tok move. So work more on your backbends and shoulder mobility and flexibility. And then practice falling onto a wall and couch. How does this sound ?

@@xoxokaili Hmmm.. I myself do not fall to the side from forearm balance. I fall to the side from a handstand - and it is good to do so. Then I will recommend you to hold pincha by the wall for longer - for example 5 sets x 1 min. One foot to the wall and other leg straight up - looking for perfect line.

This is one of my favorite practice because i still have long way to pincha. And with proper stretching i don't afraid to fall backwards. And as you suggest, i always record my pincha trial too, to see where the error and maybe i can change it to be better. Day 9 DONE. Thanks Marinaaa❤️❤️❤️

Do you mind telling me what the challenge schedule is? I have felt like I am not progressing with my yoga practice. How many days a week should we be practicing to get better? I love how fun and encouraging you are :)

Hello !! Welcome to my channel !!! For more than a year I have been creating weekly schedules and uploading them to my IG stories (@yogawithmarina) - all of them are saved in highlights ! You will se they are for 3 different levels. You can still use them ! I also did a few monthly challenges before... For the next couple of month I will be doing a little less as I am expecting my baby girl to arrive but now there are so many classes to try here !! How many times a week - it all depends on your goals and what other activity you do !!!

Love this, Marina! I have a question tho, is a forearm stand suppose to feel light when done correctly (like a headstand), or not necessarily?
@MarinaAlexeeva
@MarinaAlexeeva 2 жыл бұрын
Hello Sam !!! I like your question. Does headstand feel easy and light for you ? I can say that when I practice on a regular basis - pincha feels easy !! I can hold it for 1 minute without much struggle. So yes with practice it feels light. It is not SUPPOSED to feel light, right ? Because it is PRACTICE ! Things can feel hard. But as you get stronger and balance gets easier then forearm stand feels lighter. Do you understand what I tried to say ??
@Sam-cn3cg
@Sam-cn3cg 2 жыл бұрын
@@MarinaAlexeeva yes I get it! Practicing headstands are hard, but when I finally got to lift both legs up, it doesn’t feel heavy, it feels like I’m floating. And the longer I did it, it feels easier! My pincha feels really heavy and difficult so I was wondering if maybe I was doing it incorrectly or I’m just not used to it yet 😅 But I think I may have corrected my alignment from watching others, including you!
