I honestly have never watched a better mini tutorial. Laruga is so clear with easy-to-follow examples of what she is trying to teach. Don't get me wrong, this is one of the most challenging practices I have worked on, but she simplifies it in a way that is accessible for all students at any level. She is a master.

Such an elegant and intelligent instructor. Thank you for sharing. More Laruga please, thank you. :)

spectacular, both the laruga with his explanations and teachings, and the interlocutor, with exact questions, which can be overlooked to explain to the instructor since they make it so fluid that it is already part of them. The interlocutor asks about each difficulty that the beginner may have. marvelous. -

I’m trying to follow her instructions here one by one as much as I can during my primary practice and I see my body approaching to this fluid transition little by little. She’s awesome teacher 👍

this video is just so helpful I have been practicing Ashtanga for 5 years and I am an older student. I have never mastered this and now I know why!! I am starting from the beginning with you will develop a stronger core and especially the parts about hugging in the knees and lifting the chest and chin! this video is awesome thanks so much!!

I laughed when she said, “Like so” on the jump forward. Oh ok, my “like so” is going to be very different than hers. ;-)

Been practicing for close to 6 months now and finally a teacher corrected my jumpback, 😅😂 I totally make all the mistakes Laruga covers in this video! Now imma fix them and be on my way to a perfect jump back and jump through in no time!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

This is the best yoga tutorial I have seen on KZfaq. Really well explained with extra tips for beginners and suggested exercises for building strength needed. Excellent!

If I lived in the same country she'd be the one and only instructor that I'd take lessons from. Thank you Laruga for your kindness, patience and your helpful heart.

Really helpful, and Laruga is inspirational as ever. I had the sense that Stu was trying, at the beginning of the film to disappear as an interviewer, I'm really glad he left all the questions in, it's really helpful. Many thanks

This was so helpful. Some very subtle points that I can now work with to refine my jump through/back. It’s nice to see Laruga presenting material that beginners can work with. Everything else I’ve seen of her has been super human, beautiful to watch and inspiring but way beyond my practice currently.

I second that “fantastic”! Deep bows of gratitude for the step by step leaving me hopeful.

Very well explained in a quiet way of speaking, so necessary for those who English is their second language. Thanks!

LARUGA, la mejor

You teach always without ego, thank you ❤

Thank you so much, Laruga! All the "mistakes" that you point out practitioners could be doing, is all that I seem to be doing and thus it is really helpful to see as wonderful a teacher as you to be showing how to correct them. Thanks a lot. And thanks to Purple Valley for this insightful video. Namaste!

Impressive strength, absolutely love it!!

It’s seems so easy breeze when Laruga does it. :) She is my favorite. :)

Thank you so much for all these tips and suggestions!! I have started this morning with the jump through and what you are suggesting, Laruga, is really working. In this lifelong journey that is Ashtanga yoga, it is amazing to see the little improvements that come with the practice. Thanks so much Purple Valley for shooting this. 😍😍😍💕💕💕💕

God her form is so so graceful! #Aspirations

Just what I was looking for, thank you. Been trying to get this right for a while and I think this will really help. Thank you

Wow. Finally found this video I can watch until d end. Have been looking for much better tips on how to fluidly jump back. Thank u so much. You are such an eloquent and gracefully strong in demonstrating it.

Awesome Tutorial: Technically, this should be done with a steady nasagra drishti. Looking down while keeping the head up, a union of opposites, is prescribed for many beneficial reasons: neck alignment, deeper breath and improved proprioception. Gratitude 🙏

Laruga is amazing. Thank you 🙏

Best tutorial I've found. Thank you so much, Laruga. I finally know how to practice this.

This is such an useful video. I am a beginner in Ashtanga, and I appreciate a lot the explanation of little variations with the aim of building the strength required for the whole movement. Great questions and answer. It is exactly what I was looking for and couldn't find. Thank you so much!

This is the best video about jumping back and jumping through ever! It's been the first time I've been able to almost jump back. Thank you so much!

This is so helpful! Thank you!!

Laruga this was amazing! I have actually always been able to jump back fluidly, but jumpthrough has always been way harder. This helps SO much!!! Thanks a lot.

Pls give class with combo strength flexibility ashtanga based where main focus is on core only.thanks for sharing knowledge..it's great

Excellent! thank you!

Thank you for this video! I got motivated to keep practicing jump-back and jump-through by this video. Really helpful 👍

Thank you very Much from France.

太厉害👍

So bautiful teaching. Many blessings and light to you . you are generous a gift in ashtang yoga. I wish

Thank you so much teacher for teaching yoga. I am from India

This is very helpful! Thank you!!

thank you~~~. now i understand. only understanding ~~~^^❤

Beautiful demonstration and commentary - thank you! 🌸🌸🌸

thank you so much you help me so much you have not idea !!! feel so much comfortable. blessings.

Thanks you so much ! I was struggling with my jump back for a long time your tips helped me a lot.

this is very helpful

thank you!! I have been trying for years. I really think that with this information I will eventually be able to do it. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Love this instructor!

This is all I needed thank you. Very well explained. Appreciate the steps

hello from Hongkong😘😘🇭🇰

Timeless

This is so helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻

beautiful~

O que eu estava precisando

Amazing 🙏🙂🔥🔥

I love her !!💗

THANK YOU, this will help my jump back/throughs so much.

Impressive!

that was so well explained thank you so much!!

Crazy levels of "control" there!!

Thank you so much for sharing, this is so helpful ❤

bravo!!!!!!

It worked ! Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you so much Laruga. That explanation was super clear. I would to know some tips for jumping through with straight legs. That move keeps eluding me.

I would love to see how you go from downward facing dog to forward fold (standing rather than sitting as you do here) to complete the usual sequence. My legs always drag and the idea to keep the pelvis high is a good tip and goal.

looks so easy looking at laruga❤

I didn’t like her adjustments when she was assisting in AY Confluence. I didn’t really trust her approach so I asked her not to adjust me although I’m all about being hands on. Some time later, I took her workshop organized by a friend of mine. She seemed bored and almost as if she didn’t care much about teaching it. It truly sucks because she has such an amazing, calming energy and phenomenal practice.

This video is excellent and touches on the exact mechanics required to address an issue I have been struggling with for more than half a year which is this: how do I master the jump through and back without my feet grazing the floor? I have tried blocks and work with some of the best in the industry but I had not heard the mechanics Laruga mentions in this video. Un moton de grathias!!!

Excellent tips! Super helpful.

Very helpful..thank you🙏

Perfect explanation, and so beautifully performed! thank you very much

Wow - amazing and beautiful teacher! Thank you so much!

🙏🙏🙏

Viéndote a ti parece fácil.... pero no lo es!!!! Gracias

Great video, any tips for people that have a short arm to torso relationship? I notice that the length of my arms is a naturally limiting factor for me.

Genia esta mina.

Great video and explanations. I just don't understand why advanced practitioners like Laruga jump back into a plank before chaturanga. Of course, she has control and ease while doing so, but isn't it fundamentally wrong to jump back into a plank and cause impact on the knee joints? It always hurts to see other practitioners doing so, specially with no control or ease whatsoever.

Amamzing tips for begginers :) Love it!!!!

5:31 and 9:22 wow!

Jump back to plank? :o I have read/learned that jumping back to chaturanga is much safer on the body...

1:29 omg it looks easy but i could never do that!!! my arms are too weak to lift my body weight i cry...

💕❤️💕💕💕❤️😊🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been doing astanga for years and still can’t get the lift in my arms. I have a very long torso and short arms and legs, so I physically can’t reach the floor with arms to support weight. I have core strength as can do it with blocks. Any suggestions? Get my arms stretched lol

Should I be able to do the same with much much shorter arms?

please can you tell me what microphone system you used here? what was it attached to? also what camera? i have watched many videos and presentations you have made, they are super!
