Asana tip sheet #11 – Tiptoe pose (Padangusthasana)

October 15, 2014 By Rupali Embry 7 Comments

Tiptoe pose - padangusthasana

Tiptoe pose, or padangusthasana, is a great beginner-level pose, but I also use it in classes as a transition between floor and standing poses. The more advanced version on one foot has been popularized in Bikram’s hot flow, but this is a fine starter position that has many of the same benefits. It’s challenging enough […]

Mayurasana, or peacock pose, is a liberating pose known for its cleansing and detoxifying benefits. The peacock symbolizes beauty, strength, compassion and the ability to destroy snakes…and digest their venom (don’t try that snake venom part at home).

Check out all the awarenesses in parighasana (crossgate)

Parighasana, or bar across the gate pose, is a pose that takes the body into an unusual position. True side arches are not something we normally do during the course of a day. But the spine loves to bend in all directions! This is a great pose to help unwind the spine towards the end […]

Asana tip sheet #5: Ardha Ustrasana

Ardha ustrasana...smile!

Half camel pose is a great feel-good pose for those with flexible spines! If it doesn’t feel all that great for YOU, go easy and allow the spine to regain flexibility slowly. As we say in Hawaii, no need rush. We have all the lifetimes we need. (Be sure to download the pdf of this […]

Ardha Matsyendrasana study sheet

Twists are wonderful for calming the nervous system and Ardha matsyendrasana (King of the Fish) is an especially elegant one. Keep the eyes steadily gazing out the far corners of both eyes and you’ll get an eyeball stretch too. (Be sure to download the pdf of this tip sheet at the bottom of this post.) […]

Tania and RupaliWhat people are saying about Tania and Rupali...

"Tania and Rupali are wonderful teachers. They are experienced, knowledgable and sensitive to each student's needs. They cultivate self compassion and mindfulness and provide inspiration to students to develop a more introspective practice of just being present in the moment. Now, yoga is an integral part of my life. Every time I step on my mat I remember Tania's words—drishti, connect my breath to stay focused and engage my bandhas." ~ Linda, Hawaii Kai, HI
