I can’t even sit correctly, it hurts when I’m sitting with my arms behind me
Thank you! The directions for shoulders and where to lean back until helped me achieve this pose <3
I have a hairline fracture on my coccyx (tailbone) and have chronic pain…This will hurt a lot. ;-;
Delightful video! I too was born in Chennai, India, in 1948! Formerly Madras the home of mad rasams! Just kidding! (in case you don’t know what rasam is, it is a spicy watery soup, a great way to wake up and get going in the morning!:) Put in a couple of delicious Idlis, (Idli singular, Idlis plural) (steamed fermented rice/lentil flour patties) and you’re good to go!
A couple of comments please:
1. It is Naa-vaa-sana. Not Navaasana. We need to be careful. In Sanskrit, Nava means Nine. Naava means boat. The English word “Navy” is linked to the Sanskrit origin of the word.
2. I’m 71 and am re-discovering Yoga again after a lapse of 30 years. I got so disillusioned with Yoga then because of multiple injuries from too vigorous Ashtaanga Yoga practice without proper training and without proper warm-up prior to the practice. Following videos is the WORST way to learn Yoga! It was always taught one to one. To do Naavaasana: I sit up, then lean back on my elbows/forearms. That helps me get a good straight spine. Then I bend my knees as you have shown, and bring my legs off the floor gently, respecting what my abs can stand. I call it a Shaalambha-Naavaasana, or “Supported Boat Pose.” Usually written as Salambha, it is Shaa-lam-bha. It is so much safer to practice it this way to start.
Good Video..Balancing in the position is a bit tough,But once you start practicing core of the body becomes much stronger
I want to ask, when I do this BOAT POSE, i feel my caudal very pain and become thicker day by day, WHY LIKE THAT? cry
Can I hire you as my instructor? But seriously, though? I’m really interested in yoga and meditation.
Hello… I have learnt it in a way to lie down on your back. Stretch your arms above your head. Then inhale and while exhaling lift your legs and shoulder and grab your knees from beneath and hold that position for 20 breathes. If possible try to hold feet.
Is this the correct way?
Hi… i do Yoga & other exercises from Mon to Sat..can i take Sunday off??? So that i can give 1 day rest to my muscles???
Plzz rply..
Looks like it would flow very well into a gymnastic L-sit, with legs extended out.
Nice series:)
I do calisthenics at home and your cues and explanation help so much, this Navasana for example will be a step towards a V-sit hopefully, i wonder if calisthenics is derived from yoga, it seems yoga has every exercise, im mainly interested in the strength and physical aspect, but when i hear you talk, you bring the mental aspect also, how do you connect the physical exercise to the spirit? do you feel complete with yoga? i feel i need physical exercise in various forms and then meditation or some sort of introspection to attain health in body and mind. How do you make yoga give you everything? anyways thank you very much for these tutorials.
I’ve recently started to do calisthenics and mobility training and have to say, I’ve found your videos to be very helpfull. Professional yet casual with easy to understand explanations/demonstrations. I would love to hear you talk more about the progressions of these more strength based poses. How to work towards them efficiently, benchmarks for progression that kinda thing
Anyway Thanks! X
Thanks for this! I’ve heard varying opinions on where to be on the sits bones, and your explanation makes a lot of sense.
That was answered my question,why I can do easily navasana on sofa or bed.lol.still suck on the mat

I’ve always liked boat pose but it is challenging
I have been away from yoga for some time and this is a great way to get back to it
I especially like the recommended strengthening and preparatory poses
It has been so long that I can feel all of the muscles involved evidently they are all weak and in need of strengthening omg namaste it is good to be back on the mat Anita!!!��������also enjoyed the clip
