Learn how to jump (or hop) from Downward Facing Dog to the top of your mat, landing in a standing forward fold. Break down the core engagement and arm strength behind the "push down to lift up" feeling, the tiptoe scoop-in drill for building the strength to get there, and the timing of bending the knees before you hop forward. In this video: 0:00 Intro 0:19 Why it's push down to lift up — arm strength and core, not just mobility 0:45 Wide hand base and rooting through the hands 1:05 Coming up onto tiptoes and scooping through your center 1:46 Key cue: hands stay superglued to the floor 2:08 Practice drill — walking your tiptoes towards your hands 3:43 Putting it together: full hop to standing forward fold This is a strong, intense technique for the core and arms — it takes time and repeated practice to build. Don't worry if it doesn't come straight away; keep coming back to it in your own practice. #Yoga #DownDog #YogaTransitions #YogaStrength #YogaForBeginners #YogaTutorial
