50 Min Eight Angle Pose Yoga Flow | Strength + Mobility for Arm Balances

Build the strength, control, and mobility needed for Eight Angle Pose (Astavakrasana). This 50 minute full body yoga flow trains arm balance foundations through transitions, compression, and progressive loading. In this class, we treat Eight Angle Pose as a trainable skill, not a peak shape. You’ll move through a structured sequence that develops: *Shoulder and upper body strength for weight bearing *Core compression and leg squeeze for lift and control *Hip mobility and rotation for efficient entry and exit *Nervous system readiness for working with arm balances calmly and confidently You are always welcome to stay with the prep and skip the balance itself. Practice often. Build control. Let the pose become a natural outcome. I hope you have a great day :) ~Aimee Connect with me: https://connect.verybestyou.com/ Chapters: 00:00 Welcome + Eight Angle Pose focus 05:10 Hip circles + spinal balance work (right) 08:10 Plank shifts + forearm plank hold 09:30 Sphinx/locust strength (round 1) 12:10 Hip circles + spinal balance work (left) 15:10 Forearm plank to dolphin option 16:40 Sphinx/seal cueing + locust (round 2) 19:30 Down dog + knee to nose strength 21:10 Supported fallen triangle + side body floss (right) 23:30 Seated hamstring fold + adductor activation (right) 26:00 Rounded core compression series (right leg focus) 28:20 Bridge and reset 29:40 Chair to tree to warrior 3 (right side) 32:00 Warrior 2 to triangle + lizard (right side) 34:20 Hamstring push drill + half split twist (right) 36:40 Supported side angle + bind option, seated bird of paradise 38:40 Malasana + crow option 40:10 Supported fallen triangle + side body floss (left) 42:10 Seated hamstring fold + adductor activation (left) 44:20 Rounded core compression series (left leg focus) 46:00 Wheel option + reset 47:10 Malasana options, crow or shoulder pressure pose 48:10 Pigeon (right) + Eight Angle Pose prep and play 49:40 Pigeon (left) + Eight Angle Pose prep and play 51:10 Happy baby + bridge + supine finish 52:00 Final rest + closing DISCLAIMER: Please consult with your physician regarding the suitability of any recommendations made on this channel.
