Experiência pessoal.

I recall when I had tried to enter the Jump Through (Urdhva Mukha Paschimottanasana pose) in one of my Ashtanga classes in Mysore style. My legs became like lead, I could not raise my hips out of the mat. My body had at last passed through hamstring flexibility and core engagement after weeks of practice on core engagement, flexibility and drishti (gaze). It was a wonderful feeling of achievement and self-confidence that I got that moment. I understood that it was not only a physical movement, but it taught patience, awareness of the body and faith in the breath.

Interviewee: Raghav Menon is a certified teacher of Ashtanga Yoga that has a 15-year experience.

Q: What is the most typical error that students do when learning about the Jump Through?
Raghav: “Most of them attempt to move the hips too fast without using the core or stretching the hamstrings. It results in tension and frustration.

Q: What is your step-by-step tip in learning how to do it safely?
Raghav: First, it is time to work on the core stability and open hips with warm-up exercises such as Paschimottanasana and Bakasana (Crow Pose). Second, work your arms to rise. Third, learn to jump lightly on the exhale maintaining the gaze forward. Repetitive rehearsal is important.

Q: Any mental advice?
Raghav: “Believe in your breathing, be patient and do not compare your progress with that of other people. It is more about mindfulness than strength, the Jump Through.

Expert Opinion -Latent Benefits.

Physiotherapist and ioga researcher Dr. Anjali Rao, says learning how to do the Jump Through in Ashtanga Yoga builds up core strength, hip, and coordination. It also enhances balance and proprioception which facilitates safer transition between other poses. The flowy movement puts a bit of strain on the cardiovascular system and combining both movement and breathing helps you to be more focused and clearer in your mind. Nevertheless, this step is not to be undertaken by beginners unless under supervision lest it will strain the wrist or the lower back.^(1),(2),(3)
