Best I've done with this so far -- trying to land #armpressurepose or #tittibhasana from a handstand. My feet still grazed the ground, but they didn't take any weight. Just need a wider straddle or a slightly deeper fold, and I think I've got this... . . . #hollyshandstands @upsidedownmama @yogitales #yoga #yogadudes #yogamen #yogi #yogachallenge #igyoga #yogaeverydamnday #realmendoyoga #yogainspiration #portland #portland_yoga #pdxyogascene #pdxyoga #portlandia #calisthenics #calisthenicsmovement #movementculture #bodyweightfitness #bwf

#Bhujapudasana or #ArmPressurePose for Day 8 of #ArmBalanceLovers! I really liked this pose! It looks (and felt) sooooo badass, but I was still able to find that elusive balance between effort and ease, hence the nice hangtime and the curled lips!!😊also, loving the magical light in my living room, so #nofilter today! I think the glow is coming from the yummy vibes left behind by @etansnatcha and @gennicash who were both gracious and patient enough to let me practice teaching them Surya A today! I am truly blessed to be able to share this practice! ✨🙏✨ and as always, grateful to @playfulpractice @the_southern_yogi @jbindrum @coffeeandrainbows @dimaharani @goplantyourself for the opportunity to #learntofly! #vibetribe #yoga #yogaeverydamnday

Bhujapidasana is a great prep for tittibhasana, kurmasana, all the leg behind the head poses, and bird poses like bakasana and mayurasana. This pose is great for developing strength in the arms, upper back and core. Claw the fingers to protect the wrists, and instead of hanging in the pose, think of lifting by squeezing the legs in, rounding the back and then kicking the feet up and forward. #bestyogapractices #asanadharma #bhujapidasana #armpressurepose #independencearmy #yoga #legs #strength #flexible #forwardfold #iyengaryoga #armbalance #aimtrue #ashtangayoga #yogaeverydamnday #practicedaily #igyoga #instafit #yjyoga #manduka #vsco (at Yoga at The Raven)

Instagram @_v: Bhujapidasana before brunch.

What? The rather unpoetically named arm pressure pose! Sanskrit name, Bhujapidasana.

When/where? 9 February 2013, Balmoral Beach, Sydney.

What I was thinking: Extend the chest forward to stop the natural momentum from making you fall backwards. (On the plus side, falling backwards in this pose is probably one of the most pleasant/whatever fall-outs in yoga!)

Also, core - ACTIVATE! Wasn't quite able to hook the feet together for the full expression of the pose on this particular morning - next time.
