The Real Reason Arm Balances Feel Impossible
(Hint: Strong Yogis Struggle With This Too) 🤸
You've Been Lied To About Arm Balances
The lie? "You just need more core strength."
If you freeze when the teacher cues Crow Pose...
Or you've kicked up to handstand 500 times only to fall right back out...
Or worse - the instructor says "just put your hands here, knees there" and you leave class thinking something is fundamentally wrong with YOUR body...
There's nothing wrong with you.
Here's what's actually happening:
You watch people in class who don't even seem that strong float up effortlessly.
Meanwhile, you keep being told to "build your foundation first" or "work on your core" or "master chaturanga before you try arm balances."
Every class where you can't do what everyone else is doing chips away at your confidence.
Every time you tell yourself "maybe next time" or "I'm not ready yet," you're reinforcing the (false) belief that it's not possible for you.
Here's the worst part: The longer you keep following that "build more strength" advice, the more you're actually training your body to do it wrong.
You're reinforcing incorrect movement patterns. Building strength in the wrong places. Making it harder to ever get it right.
So what's actually keeping you stuck?
Here are the 3 BIG reasons why you're still struggling:
#1.
You're using the wrong technique.
(And every practice session makes it worse.)
Most yoga teachers cue arm balances like a checklist: "Hands shoulder-width apart, knees on triceps, engage your core, lift your feet."
But here's the problem: They're teaching you WHERE to put your body parts, not HOW to create balance.
Without understanding your center of gravity and how to manage it, you're essentially trying to muscle your way into the pose.
And the more you practice this way, the more you're training your nervous system to do it incorrectly.
The result? You're not just stuck - you're actually getting further from a breakthrough with every attempt.
#2.
You're Skipping The Warm-Up That Actually Prepares Your Body To Fly
Here's what usually happens: You walk into class, do some sun salutations, and then the teacher says "okay, let's try Crow Pose."
But your body isn't ready.
Your wrists aren't prepped to bear weight.
The specific muscle groups you need for the specific arm balance aren't activated.
Your nervous system hasn't been primed for the movement pattern.
So you try the pose "cold" - and wonder why your body feels so unstable and shaky.
The result? You're asking your body to do something it's not prepared for, which makes the pose feel 10x harder than it needs to be.
And because it feels so hard, you assume you're not strong enough or capable enough.
#3.
You Have No Idea What You're Actually Doing Wrong
You've watched the tutorials. You've listened to the cues in class. You THINK you're doing what the teacher said.
But here's the problem: You can't see what's missing.
When you're upside down or trying to balance, you have no idea if:
- Your hips are too far back
- Your shoulders are collapsing forward
- Your gaze is in the wrong spot
- You're engaging the proper muscles
So you keep trying. And trying. And trying.
But you're essentially practicing the same mistake over and over - thinking you just need more reps when really you need to adjust ONE small thing.
In a crowded yoga class, the teacher can't watch everyone. They can't tell you the specific thing YOUR body is doing that's preventing you from balancing.
The result? You can practice for months without progress because you're reinforcing the wrong pattern every single time. And the longer you practice incorrectly, the harder it becomes to unlearn those habits.
You don't need more practice. You need eyes on your form telling you exactly what to adjust.
So What Happens When You Fix These 3 Things?
When you learn the physics-based technique that makes arm balances actually balance...
When you get personalized feedback that shows you exactly what YOUR body needs to adjust...
And when you warm up the right way so your body is primed and ready...
Arm balances stop feeling impossible.
Your feet lift off the ground - not because you muscled your way up, but because your body is stacked correctly and gravity is working WITH you.
You stop freezing when the teacher cues Crow Pose. You stop watching everyone else fly while you stay grounded.
You become the person in class that others watch and think "how are they doing that?"
This isn't about years of practice. It's about the right method.
People of all ages, body types and levels are doing this - because they finally got the right training.
At Yogi Flight School, we teach regular people how to do seemingly impossible things, and expand what you are capable of forever.
Are you ready to awaken your inner ninja!?

Here's the thing
3 Minutes in yoga class twice a week isn't going to get you there, or it would have already.
❌ Trying the same techniques over and over and expecting different results is....well....you know what that is 🤪
❌ Watching YouTube videos or Instagram tutorials from influencers who are super strong but aren't really teaching you the mechanics? That's not a training plan if you want results.
❌ Walking around thinking you aren't good enough, or that you need to "be better" before you can do something like this? That just plain sucks.
Training arm balances and inversions from the perspective of mechanics & structure is THE most effective way to make FAST progress safely.

LET'S BREAK IT DOWN FURTHER!
What poses will you be flying in each module?...
MODULE 1
The Crow
Family
Crow Pose is often the first arm balance people try to learn - but here's a secret: it's not actually the easiest!
That's why we break it down using mechanics and structure so you can finally nail it (and all its variations).
In this module, you'll master the foundational Crow family - then take it further by learning how to float in and out with control.
This is the gift that keeps on giving! No matter how advanced you get, there's always another layer to explore in these poses.
In this module you learn to unlock:
+ Crow Pose (Kakasana)
+ Crane Pose (Bakasana)
+ One-Legged Crow (Eka Pada Bakasana)
+ Floating into Crow Pose
+ Floating back from Crow to Chaturanga
MODULE 2
Revolved
Arm Balances
It's twisty time!
Impress the shit out of your friends (and yourself!) with these arm balances that LOOK super impressive and complicated…
But are actually way more accessible than they look when you break down the mechanics!
Here's the best part: These poses make you look like a total badass - and once you understand the structure, they're easier to access than you think.
In this module you'll fly:
+ Side Crow (Parsva Kakasana)
+ Split Leg Side Crow (Eka Pada Koundinyasana A)
+ Fallen Angel (Devaduuta Pannasana)
+ Ninja Side Crow (Side Crow with funky arm and leg variations)
PLUS: You'll start playing with transitions - flowing several of these poses together like the ninja you are!
MODULE 3
Open Leg
Arm Balances
Forget the gym, this gives your hamstrings and inner thighs an awesome workout while you fly!
We get into the nitty-gritty of open leg arm balances, plus how to transition between these impressive shapes like a pro.
Don't have super flexible hamstrings? No problem.
Everything can be modified to fit your body - and you’ll be amazed how quickly flexibility comes with our strategic warmups and on-demand Myofascial Release sessions!
In this module you crush:
+ Firefly (Tittibhasana)
+ Hurdler’s Pose/Flying Splits (Eka Pada Koundinyasana B)
+ Flying Lizard
+ Flying Compass (Visvamitrasana)
+ Eight Angle Pose (Astavakrasana)
+ And explore transitions between all of these!
MODULE 4
Open Hip
Arm Balances
It’s time for some hippy-dippy shit!
These “Figure 4” open hip shapes increase your range of motion, mobility, flexibility and strength in your outer hips and glutes.
Not to mention they look cool as hell!
Got tight hips? You're not alone - and this module is designed with you in mind. There are plenty of big wins along the way to these funky shapes, even if your hips feel like they're made of concrete right now.
In this module, you'll rock:
+ Flying Pigeon (Eka Pada Galavasana)
+ Specific techniques to fly the back leg in Flying Pigeon
+ Grasshopper & Funky Arm Variations (Parsva Bhuja Dandasana)
+ Baby Grasshopper
MODULE 5
Headstands
In Module 5 we cover the 7 headstands from the Ashtanga Vinyasa practice - broken down so you can actually master them.
Let's bust a myth right now: When practiced safely (and if you don't have a neck injury), headstands pose little risk to your body. In fact, they're one of the most empowering inversions you can learn!
Of course, you'll also learn how to decompress your spine after practicing - because we've got your back (literally).
We start with Bound Headstand and Tripod, and then move on to different arm and leg variations.
Here's the awesome part: Once you learn to balance off the wall in Bound and Tripod, the rest come easily - and you'll feel like an absolute badass!
In this module you balance:
+ Bound Headstand A (Baddha Hasta Sirsasana A)
+ Tripod Headstand (Mukta Hasta Sirasasana A)
+ Bound Headstand B, C, D (Baddha Hasta Sirsasana B, C, D)
+ Open-hand Headstands B & C (Mukta Hasta Sirasasana B, C)
+ Coming into Headstand from Straddle Forward Fold (Prasarita Padottanasana)
+ Crow → Tripod Headstand → Crow Transition
+ Headstand transitions to various arm balances (One Legged Crow, Flying Pigeon, etc.)
MODULE 6
Handstand
We start at Square One and cover allllll the fundamentals you need to stand on your hands!
From shoulder actions and finger engagement to kicking up to the wall and walking up it - we break down every single piece so handstand finally makes sense.
Here's the game-changer: You'll learn how to fall intentionally so you can eliminate the fear of falling and hurting yourself. THIS IS HUUUUGE!
You'll practice balancing on the wall, then work your way to balancing OFF the wall with confidence.
Real talk: Unlike most arm balances and inversions that can be unlocked quickly with the right tools, handstand truly is a journey in and of itself.
But here's what this module does: It sets you up with a solid foundation and gives you the tools to finally ditch the wall if you've been stuck there for a while.
In this module, find out:
+ Where your upper body comes from
+ Using your fingers as the brake system
+ Getting to the wall
+ Balancing at the wall - drills and skills
+ Learning to bail safely
+ Middle-of-the-room balance drills and skills
+ L-shape, Tuck and Stag leg variations
MODULE 7
Forearm
Stand
Pinchaaaaaa!! (I mean, how cool is this?!)
Shake your tail feather in several variations of Pincha Mayurasana (Feathered Peacock Pose), AKA Forearm Stand.
You’ll learn different entries into Pincha, like kicking up or walking up the wall.
We cover how to balance away from the wall, and feel comfortable doing so after learning techniques to bail safely.
Real talk: the only way to get off the wall is to practice off the wall, so you’ll get the tools you need to take those peacock feathers and fly them high!
In this module, you'll:
+ Identify your center of gravity
+ Learn to use your fingers as brakes
+ Forearm and hand positioning options for YOUR shoulder mobility
+ Balancing at the wall drills and skills
+ Middle-of-the-room balance drills and skills
+ Stag Leg and Split Leg variations
MODULE 8
Backbend
Inversions
Time for backbends!
This is seriously cool and builds on everything we cover in Modules 6 & 7.
This is where you add backbends to Handstands and Pinchas - and look like an absolute ninja doing it!
Here's a secret: Don't be fooled by how they look - the backbend variations are often EASIER than the straight versions, because they allow you to use your chest and legs as counter-balances. (This is really all about physics!)
Be prepared to unlock your Scorpion Pincha and Scorpion Handstand sooner than you can imagine!
This module also gets into Chinstand (Ganda Bherundasana), and prepares your body from head to toe with an epic backbend warmup and myofascial release exercises.
In this module, unlock:
+ Chinstand (Gandha Bherundasana)
+ Forearm Scorpion at the wall and off the wall (Vrischikasana A)
+ Handstand Scorpion at the wall and off the wall (Vrischikasana B)
If you're thinking "Wow, that looks great! But what is it going to cost?"

The best part? You'll Fly Within 14 Days...
or your money back!
We don't do refunds just because it didn't feel right.
We do refunds when the method truly doesn't work for you - after you've fully shown up.
Here's how it works:
• You commit to the process and complete at least one full module
• You practice, and submit videos for coaching for at least 14 days
• If, after that, you're still stuck and we agree that we can't help you - we'll refund your purchase.
This guarantee isn’t a free pass — it’s a mutual agreement.
We promise to support you 100%. You promise to do the work.
That’s how real transformation happens.
We’ve helped thousands of students of all ages, injuries, and experience levels finally learn to fly.
If you show up, we’ll make sure you do too.
If you like to purchase programs, try them out for a day and ask for a refund, this isn't for you.
Are you ready for this to be you?! 👇
Everything in here is what I wish I’d had AGES ago.
It took me 5 years to do a handstand… and if I’d had this training, it would’ve taken a fraction of that time.
Here's what I know for sure. If you want this, you can DO this!
If you choose to not join us, it should be because you don’t want to fly - not because you don’t think you can.
Yogi Flight School guarantees to get you off the ground, even if…
➜ You don’t feel strong enough
➜ You’re not bendy
➜ You’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s +
➜ You feel like your arms are too short or weak
➜ Your butt seems too big
➜ You’re not experienced enough
➜ You’ve fallen on your face more times than you can count
None of that matters.
What matters is that you're willing to show up, follow the process, and trust that your body is capable of more than you think.
Because it is.
It's time to make one of two choices.
Choice #1
Do Nothing
Keep guessing in class, scrolling Instagram tutorials and wondering why you're not flying.
Stay stuck in the same place you are right now - frustrated, confused, and watching everyone else nail poses you can't seem to figure out.
Choice #2
Start flying!
Follow a proven method. Get personal feedback. Fly faster than you thought possible - even if you've failed before.
Join thousands of students who've gone from "I can't do this" to "Holy shit, I'm actually doing it!"
The choice is yours.
But here's the thing - six months from now, you're going to wish you started today.
It's time to finally lift off!!
Because I actually give a FAQ...
Can I do this if I have an injury?
Can I do this if I'm a beginner?
Will I benefit from this if I am experienced?
Can I get feedback on my progress?
How long do I have to go through the course?
How do I access the course?
I'm not on Facebook. Can I still participate?
Are there any Contraindications?
End the Frustration!
Get upside down and on your hands! Bust through "I can't" into "I did it!"
