Paige Warthen, an ashtanga practitioner, shows and explains how to perform the “picking-up and jumping-back” transition in this beautifully produced video. When I do it, I always get stuck in between my arms. I am always amazed by how easy and simple this transition looks. Warthen explains her personal experience in mastering this transition. She explains the steps to “go into the right direction” as well as things to avoid.
I would like to be able, one day, to do a back-and-forth jump from chaturanga to seated and from downdog to seated. This is not only because it’s fun but because this will serve as a foundation for more inspiring moves.
