In this video presents step by step instructions for one of the most important and rewarding transitions in the ashtanga system, I call it the crouch and spring! It is the most dynamic move in the set of transition positions that are performed between seated postures in the primary series. I take you through several different versions of the move beginning with the easiest, most modified strategy, progressing through to increasingly difficult versions until we arrive at the final version. No matter what version you choose to work with I teach you to focus on the dynamism of the crouch, as a full body readiness, an animal like anticipation of action, that leads to a centered, thrilling, and satisfying leap from downward dog to a surprising, awake Dandasana (Staff Posture) seated position.
