Thank you so much for your tutorial, it was a daunting pose for me to try until you showed me how. I have mastered it after a few tries and I am 70 years old so YAY you are the best. Max

You actually made me very emotional when I accomplished this on the 1st try. I feel blessed to have found your channel. I. I don't think that you realize just how people feel when you put up these videos and they accomplish it following your directions pehis directions. You are a blessing. Your instructions are amazing and I have subscribed to your channel.

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you.
This was the first time I could actually get into full 8 angle pose.

[kymbling]

That was amazing! Fantastic breakdown, and it gave me the courage to try something I thought was going to be very difficult for me. Did it within a few tries. When you said it was a "beginner was ALL IN! Thank you!

The best tutorial in the whole YouTube !

[maryallums]

This is one of my fav explanations of this pose I have every seen. Tysm!

[nalini]

Hei, this is so much easier than all the other tutorials I have seen before! Most people show you how to get into eight angle pose via Elephant trunk. That is so much harder. Thank you and give you doggie a special hug!

In a single day or have learned that can do crow pose and 8 angle. I’m also on day 8 of your 21 day yoga series. I’m genuinely enjoying finding out what my body can do.

Even though this was years ago I feel it's one of the best tutorials on this elusive asana You broke it down so we'll thank you !

[kerryphillips]

Thanks for simplifying this pose....could never do from the floor...only elevated...but did it❤❤
Thankyou

You have the best yoga videos on YouTube. First arm balance I could ever do in my life - love your channel

[sukimama]

Hi, thank you. Caught your video yesterday and did the pose today with no problems. Had learned it a much more awkward and complicated way previously. Your technique is far easier. I'm going to try your crow one next--have never been able to do it.

[NaturallyNomadic]

This was fab! Other tutorials were so confusing!! But this was so much easier to understand, thank you!

[FlowandBells]

Thanks for this breakdown! I love this explanation for teaching in my classes.

[mungnansiao]

The pose isn't that easy but the technicality with which explained how to transition into the pose is soooo good 10/10

[venkat]

Its the best tutorial that I have ever seen on how to approach astavakrasan. Many others hsve complicated the approach steps into the posture.. this is so nicely explained.. thanks

[ShaggyMonk]

This is a great Astavakrasana tutorial with lots of tips and a great progression from beginner to advanced.
I'll be referencing a lot of your guidance in my teaching, thank you.

[garybrett]

Brilliant, thank you so much. Nailed it after 8 minutes with you.
