EIGHT ANGLE POSE | Learn 8 Angle Pose In 3 Minutes | With Beginner + Advanced Modifications 🧘‍♀️

I'm teaching you how to get into eight angle pose in 3 minutes! You'll learn the foundations of Eight Angle Pose, Astavakrasana, so you can confidently integrate this advanced arm balance pose into your yoga practice. This pose strengthens the wrists, arms, upper back, and core, while focusing on balance.

Sit flat with both legs out in front of you before bending one leg in and grabbing the sole of you foot with the opposite side hand. Place the same-side hand underneath the calf and use it to hoist that leg over your shoulder. Point your toes and clamp the shoulder with your leg to secure it. Place both hands flat next to your hips, about shoulder width apart for a firm solid base. Push the floor away with your hands to lift your hips off the ground, simultaneously, lifting your straight leg off the ground before crossing the straight leg over the ankle of your bend leg. Flex the feet to create a secure hook with your feet. Extend the legs out to the side, squeezing the arms with the inner thighs, around the tricep. Bend the elbows, pulling them in like Chaturanga. Look down in front of your for extra balance, out to the side toward your feet, or in front of you for a more advanced variation.

This asana is one of my favorites and I hope it will be one of yours too!
