Fun Pose Friday: Grasshopper

Happy fun pose friday!  This week’s pose post is a short one but a fun one for sure; Grasshopper pose.  I’ve heard is called Dragonfly pose as well.  I tried this pose for the first time last weekend at flow yoga center in Krista Block‘s class.  It was my first Jivamukti class– pretty awesome.  Krista is actually running a workshop at extendYoga on Sun, April 28th, 1:30pm-3:30pm.

Here’s some quick info about it:

Freedom of Flight: Arm Balances & Inversions Curious about arm balances and inversions? In this empowering, playful workshop we will explore the joy of connecting to the earth through our hands and taking flight! Beginners will leave with a strong foundation of what is required to lift off the ground with confidence and experienced flyers will learn new, creative approaches and entries. Come with a sense of adventure and leave feeling light, connected, and youthful.  Check here  for more details about the workshop!  x OK- back to our friend the grasshopper…

Check out Krista above in Grasshopper.  The most helpful hint Krista gave in glass when attempting this pose was to really, really focus on literally stepping on your forearm with your bent foot (right foot in this photo).

It’s kind of a tricky pose to explain, so watch this video to check it out!

See you on the mat!
