Tadasana is one of those yoga poses that's easy to ignore. Nobody's lying awake at night thinking, "Man, I really need to nail my Tadasana."

You stand there, feet on the floor, arms by your sides or hands together at your chest. Seems simple enough.

But Tadasana is more important than it looks.

"No way I can do arm balances!! I can't even do a proper Chaturanga. I just sort of... collapse halfway down."

I get this one a lot.

Someone wants to learn arm balances, but they've decided they need to master Chaturanga first... as if there's some yoga committee handing out arm-balance licences a...

Imagine I could hand you a perfect freestanding handstand right now.

No falling, no faceplants, no kicking your feet into the air a gazillion times wondering if you're actually improving or just repeatedly demonstrating the theory of gravity.

You just have a perfect straight-line handstand. Effect...

There's a point in learning an inversion where the wall stops being a prop and becomes a full-blown security blanket you drag everywhere.

You can reliably kick up to it. You can hold your Handstand there. It lets you post your "OMG 30 second handstand hold!!" Insta reels.

And then someone goes, "O...

Let's settle something that has confused a LOT of yoga students:

Is Crane Pose just Crow Pose with straight arms?

Because if you look at the two poses, it certainly seems that way. Same general shape. Same arm-balance-y-ness. Same "why the hell are my feet not on the floor?" energy.

So when your ...

Every time someone tells me they can't step their foot between their hands because they have short arms, I want to ask...

"Who told you that?"

Because it's one of those yoga myths that just keeps getting repeated.

Somewhere along the way, "You have short arms" became the go-to explanation for any...

If you've taken more than a handful of yoga classes, you've almost certainly heard the (probably slightly confusing) cue: "Engage Mula Bandha."

Usually, it arrives right before something that requires a little extra oomph.

Maybe you're setting up for an arm balance. Maybe you're about to kick into...

When I started Yogi Flight School, I thought I was just creating a place where people could learn arm balances.

A place to teach the mechanics, break down poses, and help people stop believing they simply "weren't strong enough."

I never imagined that one day I'd walk into a room full of people wh...

You already have Crow Pose. You know how to balance on your hands. You know how to bring your knees onto your arms and find that little moment where your feet stop feeling quite so attached to the floor.

Then you try One-Legged Crow.

You bring one knee onto your arm, start shifting forward, and su...

When most people think about arm balances they could realistically learn, they usually picture the same handful of poses.

Crow. Headstand. Handstand. Maybe Forearm Stand if they're feeling adventurous.

Beyond that, everything starts looking like someone paused Cirque du Soleil halfway through a pe...
