Do you want to learn how to do a fun arm-balance with a pachyderm theme? Give this a watch! Maybe you're just listening and learning, but if you're ready to give it a go, make sure your core is warmed up, your hips have been opened as comfortably as possible, and do a few chaturanga pushups to activate your upper body! The Sanskrit word for this pose is eka hasta bhujasana, and practicing it is just as fun as saying it!
Falling out of your practice is normal. Travel, family, work; so many things can pull our focus and interrupt our momentum. Are you coming back to your mat after a short (or lengthy) sabbatical? Me too! Let's see what happens, shall we?
Core work is, for most, a necessary evil. Do some with me or just laugh as I attempt to speak and do bicycle crunches at the same time.
