We all love handstands. Understanding how to effectively practice and assist to make a really big difference in your handstand practice.

So often when we try to help, we can end up, blocking the movement that is needed to execute the pose. For example, many people restrict the forward direction of the shoulders when attempting to help handstand press. Instead, it’s important to allow the shoulders to move forward so that the proper skeletal alignment is accessible to the student.

What do you think? Have you tried this assist as the one assisting or the one receiving the assist?

This video was filmed in beautiful Bali. Do you want to join me and @timfeldmannyoga in Bali this year? Just a few spots left!

We will be teaching an immersive 2-week, 50-hour Ashtanga Yoga training in the magical setting of Bali! Whether you’re a student or teacher, this training will deepen your practice with a focus on asana, meditation, pranayama, and philosophy.

Start each morning with guided or Mysore-style practice and spend the afternoons breaking down key elements of the asanas. You’ll learn movement principles that will transform your understanding of yoga.

Week One focuses on the foundations—asana, anatomy, technique, and alignment.

Week Two builds on this, weaving in deeper practices like meditation, breathwork, and yoga philosophy to help you discover what yoga truly is, beyond asana.

📅 March 8-20, 2025

This is a unique opportunity to elevate your practice in a stunning environment. Don’t miss out—secure your spot now and join us for a transformative journey! 🙏💫

While a photo can capture a moment, the practice is something that unfolds over many years with peaks, valleys, and long periods of plateau. Each of the stages of practice is equally important to getting settled in the spiritual journey. Sometimes we want to constantly reach for success, however, there is wisdom to be learned in failure as well. When things feel the same every day, it can be easy to feel bored, however, integration happens best in periods of stability. No matter where you are on your practice journey, remember this the most important thing is consistency. Keep getting on the mat as often as you can even if it’s only for five minutes. Slowly over many years of practice the deeper dimension of yoga will open in your heart, mind and soul.

Guess how long?

I can still hear his voice, see his gaze, feel his presence each time I step on the mat. Now that my teacher is gone I have to find the discipline within. But he and his grandfather will always be my teachers.

If you guessed one minute, then you’re right. I started holding Uttplutih for one minute in my daily practice because it helps me maintain strength and focus. It is traditionally said that holding any asana for one minute is the test of sthira (strength) sukha (comfort/grace/sweetness) in that asana.

I’m not sure which was harder, the pose or the smile for the full minute 🤪

Work Marichasana C with a combination of strength

Work Marichasana C with a combination of strength and flexibility.

Bend the knee to close the hip joint and keep the torso snuggled in close to the thigh. Then fold the torso around the outside of the thigh, utilizing the lateral stretching action of the side body. Extend the arm that wraps around the shin bone and internally rotate the shoulder so that the elbow glides into position. Bind the hands, stabilize the pelvis, ground through the extended leg and breathe deeply to find the inner work of the asana.
