Laghu Vajrasana Class 2

10 mins

This class deepens Laghuvajrāsana with progressive height and step-by-step learning. Begin with crouch-and-spring jumps forward—like an arrow moving only one direction—to set up neutral stance (vertical thighs, pelvis, torso, arms reaching). Use a chair with stacked blocks as the first station: head touches lightly while legs remain steady, pelvis and thighs unmoving. From there, reduce height gradually, repeating the same pattern until you can work from the chair alone. We train two starting pathways: (1) from full upright directly into the pose, and (2) via a halfway station—catching the legs, stopping, then continuing deeper—before returning to neutral. Each variation is repeated rhythmically: head leads on the way down, chest leads on the way up. The takeaway is that mastery isn’t about pushing for the hardest version daily but alternating steps intelligently, meeting yourself where you are, and strengthening both body and rhythm by honoring the whole ladder of possibilities.
