This class introduces Laghuvajrāsana with clear steps and modifications. Begin from a crouch-and-spring leap into neutral setup (hands to waist or Anjali mudrā). Train the single-move version—exhale back, chest open, head leads, legs steady like tree trunks, then inhale up chest first, head last. Layer in drills: mini backbends with arms reaching or fists clenched, repeated in sets for strength and rhythm. Modify with blocks or a chair under the head, gradually lowering height over weeks or months. Explore the two-part pathway: stop at a midway station (arms straight on shins), then continue deeper before returning to neutral. Key emphasis: legs adducted, internally rotated, unmoving, and hips never counterweighting forward—the action must begin with the head, carrying the whole body back in space. Result: a pose less about deep spinal bend, more about strength, rhythm, and whole-body participation. Model - Romain Prevost (Ashtanga Vevey)
