    Ashtanga yoga: Utthita Hasta Padangustasana

    Ashtanga yoga: Utthita Hasta Padangustasana


    Utthita Hasta Padangustasana

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:46 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I've been practicing yoga for years but right now due to pandemic I don't have any teacher to ask this in person so I thought I'd ask here:

    After I practice Utthita Hasta Padangustasana I feel extremely weak and shaky. I am almost never able to properly go through the next vinyasa and it takes me a while to recover. It's like this even when I isolate this asana (which I sometimes do because I have an uneven hip and it helps with that).

    So why could that be? It is unlike any other physical effort for me. I can be breathless after cardio, I can shake locally when I'm working a specific muscle and then it goes away, but Utthita Hasta Padangustasana is the only pose that makes me feel like my sugar levels suddenly drop.

    Thanks for reading

    Energy fluctuates throughout the practice

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 01:18 AM PST

    After nearly a years break from Ashtanga I've finally restarted (have been practising gentle hatha in the meantime).

    I've decided to ease myself in slowly and so am only practising up to Navasana and then ending with yoga mudra and utpultih. I'm finding that my energy is really fluctuating during the practice. I'm sure some of it is psychological but I'm really finding it hard to maintain my energy.

    Does anyone have any advice/thoughts/suggestions on this?
