@NaomiGottliebMiller Жыл бұрын

it is challenging for sure! in part because we don't always think to practice it or integrate this skill into our daily movement choices. i love your attitude, though. so many people come across this and decide, often without trying or after a single try, that they just can't do it. i love that you're approaching this skill from a place of curiosity and determination. keep up the good work and the practice. keep me posted on your progress. cheering you on, cathy!

This is the type of teaching that I would like to see more of in yoga: present students with an open-ended challenge (like getting off of the floor without using one’s hands/arms), then have students use their body awareness to explore multiple ways of meeting that challenge. While this may be considered an unconventional yoga video, it’s a favorite of mine. It shifts the emphasis from carrying out poses to doing something much more dynamic.

I appreciate that you repeated the instructions so clearly, did not rush, and did both exercises a few times. I have been avoiding learning how to do this, even though I am in good shape for 69 otherwise. One of the reasons is because of the people who demonstrated it made it look like magic without explaining! Time to learn how to master it!

I really appreciate you took the time to address what I think some people view as trivial and obvious stuff (how to stand up). This helped me understand the progress I need to take to get to the point of standing up hands-free from Indian-style. I've been working really hard for a couple of years to become strong and muscular; but now my focus needs to shift more on awareness of what and how to utilize that strength with effective and efficient body movements. I'm going to be so proud of myself once I've mastered this action. THANK YOU!

Found your demonstration. I found I could kind of do the second example from one side, and the third example I was able to do after trying it a number of times. Albeit it is with much arm flailing, weight shifting and awkwardness but now I have faith I will reach my goal this year! With much gratitude. Will be sharing with a friend.

I hope to get to the position right before you stand up. That will help me with my Mobility. I also go to physical therapy and I have strong abdominal muscles. So I'm hopeful.

I'm above 100 kg and i'm in the middle of 2nd phase of chiropractic and physiotherapy care. And the end of the 2nd phase, there will be a test called crossed leg stand to sit and vice versa. My previous test result for 1st phase, the crossed leg part is not good. Same goes with at the end of 1st phase. When i try your tips, especially standing up with ankle crossing leg, i can finally lift up my body without using my hand. The crossed leg part is really hard but i managed to do it, with big momentum. Thanks for the keyword given, lift with ankle and trying to reach something or someone's hand. My form is still not really smooth and clean and still need a lots of practice. I will do this every day and night.

When I was a teenager in high school, I've also struggled standing up without touching the floor. Back in 2015, a friend of mine has experienced standing up without using her hands. So at the end of that year, what I did was go home and practice every single day during the holiday vacation. I practiced and practiced until one day right after new year's it was January 2016 AKA 6 years ago I can finally stand up without using my hands. Once I surprised that friend mine she said ''Zainab you did it! You just got up without touching the floor!'' So thanks for that video I really appreciate it.
