How To Get Into Eight Angle Pose | Beginners Arm Balance Tutorial

Would you like to get into Eight Angle Pose, but don't know how to start? Follow along with this Beginner Arm Balance Tutorial and maybe you're able to get into your first 8-Angle shape!

- EIGHT ANGLE POSE TUTORIAL -

1. Start in a seated postion. Bend your left leg into your chest. Move your left knee towards the outside and hook the back of your upper leg firmly behind the left shoulder (imagine like you're putting on a backpack). Keep the left foot flexed.
2. Place your hands (with the fingers wide) on both sides of your hips. Keep the chest lifted, roll the shoulders away from the ears and push down into the palms to lift your hips up off the ground.
5. Lift your right leg off the ground, cross the ankle over your left ankle, and create a hook by flexing your feet.
6. Extend your legs out to the side, squeeze your arms with the inner thighs, and bend your elbows like we do in Chaturanga Push-up. Hinge the upper body forward, but keep the chest and heart lifted.
7. Look down for extra balance, out toward your legs, or forward.
