Sometimes Kapotasana can feel like you’re all ti

Sometimes Kapotasana can feel like you’re all tied up, so why not embrace it and tie yourself up? All kidding aside, try these strap drills to build strength and flexibility for deeper backbends and a more fluid entry to Kapotasana.

1. Sit on a strap in a kneeling position. Grab the strap over your head and pull on it. Pop the chest forward, arch the back and externally rotate the shoulders.

2. Keep the strap hooked under the feet and let it slide over the shoulders. Pull on the strap as you send the pelvis forward. Repeat until the head drops comfortably back.

3. Use the strap like two ropes and pull on the ropes while pushing the hips forward and the feet down. Use this push-pull mechanism to deepen and strength your backbends.

4. Apply the technique without the strap and see if the body and mind can recall the same neuromuscular activation.

Join my upcoming Yoga Drills training on @omstarsofficial teaches you how to breakdown and create drills for all types of yoga poses just like this. Next live class is Wednesday at 1 pm EST.

Join me and @timfeldmannyoga @miamilifecenter for a full Mysore season and one month course where we will teach in June 2025 and January 2026.

Home practice. Just demonstration. Just sharing.

Home practice. Just demonstration. Just sharing.

Devotion to the practice means being present with breath, body and mind every day. No filters. No perfect pose. Just practice.

This is not meant as instruction. If you went to learn Ashtanga Yoga and practice with me, come find me in person or online @omstarsofficial

Everything we experience is filtered through the l

Everything we experience is filtered through the lens of who we are. Even the most sacred teachings—those luminous gems passed down through time—must pass through the gateway of our minds before they can take root in the heart. The classical path of yoga teaches that in order to truly receive such wisdom, the mind must be prepared. It must be made steady, clear, and pure.

In the Bhagavad Gītā, the Sanskrit words śuddhabhāva and śuddhi—purity of being and clarity of mind—appear as essential conditions for receiving jñāna, true knowledge. The ancient texts suggest that a mind shaped by faith, steadied by self-restraint, and softened by devotion becomes a vessel ready to hold the nectar of wisdom. This is the mind of sudhīḥ—one of refined intellect, who can truly drink the milk of the Gītā, as the old chant says.

As yoga practitioners, this is our invitation: to train the mind with every tool available to us. Asana practice, when done with presence, discipline, and humility, becomes one such tool. Each breath steadies the senses. Each posture reveals the subtle fluctuations of the mind. Over time, the physical practice becomes a mirror, showing us where we cling, where we resist, and where we can let go.

The fruits of wisdom don’t arrive through force. They ripen slowly, in the soil of a purified heart and a concentrated mind. And so the instruction is simple, though not always easy: keep practicing. Practice to purify. Practice to concentrate. Practice so that, when the teachings finally reach you, you are ready to receive them.

We may never land the perfect handstand — and maybe that’s never been the point.

Every fall, every imperfect attempt, every moment of doubt teaches us more than success ever could.
Through the struggle, we find humility. Through persistence, we find joy.

Handstands, for me, have never only been about the pose. They’ve been about meeting the impossible with open hands and an open heart. They’ve taught me that believing in myself is an act of courage — one I choose, over and over again.

Each day I practice, I grow a little stronger — not just in my body, but in my mind and spirit. Strength, it turns out, isn’t just about muscles; it’s about resilience. It’s about trust. It’s about hope.

The real balance we seek isn’t in staying perfectly upside down. It’s in learning to stay steady within ourselves — no matter how many times we fall.
