Four Versions of Forearm Stand

This yoga video includes four intermediate to advanced level yoga entries into pinchamayurasana (forearm stand). This is a quick overview. If you are a beginner yoga practitioner start by building strength and work your way up to these postures

Version 1. Jump into forearm stand. The trick is that the bounce comes from the bottom leg and the top leg doesn’t swing much. When you jump a little bit over catch yourself by pressing back with the hands

Version 2. Split press. Bend the knee and pull the foot towards your head. Bring the hips over the shoulders then let the shoulders go a bit beyond the shoulders to tip into the forearm stand. Realign the shoulders with the elbows once your balanced and bring the legs together

Version 3. Double leg press. This one is a challenging entry. Press with the toes to bring the hips up as high as possible and stabilize with the forearms. The shoulders will come really far over the forearms. With the hips over the shoulders engage the core and lift the legs up. Realign the shoulders over the wrist once the legs are up

Enjoy the scorpion variation here 😎

Version 4. Wide leg press. As you lower the elbows use the momentum to rock the hips over the shoulders. Next press the legs wide then bring them together in the center and realign the shoulders

The hollow back here is one of my ultimate favorite poses. Be mindful not to compress the lower back
