The jump to Urdhava Kukkutasana ?

I saw a video of Noah Maze doing this yesterday and just had to try

Very nice work, Grimmly! I, on the other hand, have no such ambitions: I think I'll just stick to working on my Karandavasana :-)

Wee! Practice makes perfect. That's some tough stuff.

Thanks Nobel, we don't get much more ambitious than a good Karanda. I've tended to find that working for a couple of weeks intensively on a posture/move and then putting it on the back burner while you focus on something else works well. It's often when you take your eye off it that it surprises you and comes together.

It's a fun one Megan, Kind of a mixture of that high floaty jump through of Kino, Bakasana and that no hands lotus

nice work - now you just need to sneak in a handstand on the exit too :-)

Never got that handstand back out of things like this, Swenson does it a lot, perhaps it fits though with what Im working on re my karandavasana at the moment.
need to work on sucking that lotus up too, the way Noah does it, mine is more of a floaty thing.

Seems to be a nice sense of play in the anasura community, perhaps because there's all that chanting and pranayama etc, can take the asana less seriously than their Ashtanga and Iyengar brothers and sisters perhaps. just a thought.
