Tutorial Thursday // Dancers Pose ~ Natarajasana

Hang in there it's almost Friday! Today I am sharing with you a breakdown of one of my favourite yoga poses ~ Dancer's Pose. I am still working on becoming deeper in the back bend but it is a very accessible pose for everyone. Free your hips, open your heart and breathe in the balance.


  • Inhale to up Tadasana, mountain pose.
  • Take your left elbow to your left hip.
  • Grab the inside of your left foot and press your foot back into your left hand. Allow this movement to take you forward into a back bend.
  • Find a spot to focus on. It will help you balance.
  • Keep pushing your foot into your hand. This will lock the pose.
  • Try to drop your tailbone down to release your lower back. 
  • Slowly come back up and release. Shake it out!
  • Repeat on the opposite side.
  • Take a step back and release into downward dog. 
Make sure that your back and hips are open and warmed up before attempting this pose :) Have fun and don't forget to smile. 

Speaking of fun I had a go at filming a time lapse video yesterday morning. An hours yoga transformed into 4 minutes!

    I love doing this post, although in cheer we have to do it to the extreme and get our foot touching our head which is always painful. This one is a lot of fun though, you make it look easy xxx

    I love the time lapse video!! I really need to give yoga a try but I still don't know where to start. Found a class about a half hour away from the town I live in but it clashes with my Saturday morning kettlebell classes :(

    Looking forward to seeing more yoga goodness from you though!
