Tittibhasana Class 3

11 mins

This class builds Tittibhāsana (Firefly Pose) from the ground up. Begin with a forward jump, feet landing outside the arms, then slot the thighs high—up toward the shoulders, not just the elbows. First balance with bent legs (like Bhuja Piḍāsana without crossing), then drill one-leg power kicks: extend the leg straight like a cannon shot, lift the hips, then switch sides before kicking both forward together into the pose. Blocks under the hands add height and space. Next, refine the classic diagonal angle—hips slightly down, feet lifted, spine rounded—before exploring variations. Work jumps forward with eagle-like legs (no upward motion, all forward), train soft landings, and reset the legs higher on the arms each time. Finally, explore walking versions: wide stance, arms slotted, stamping the feet, and stepping nimbly to build dexterity and endurance. The focus: Tittibhāsana as a practice of slotting, projecting brilliance through the legs, and flowing rhythmically between entry, hold, and exit.
