Summary

Jason's back on the podcast answering some of our listeners most common questions. This week, we tackle questions related to Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Balance).

We dive into:

* Headless Headstand - An alternative pose that recommends for students who are new to Forearm Balance

* Three things the shoulders need to be in order to practice Forearm Balance

* A conversation about Jason's biggest pet peeve that he sees students do when they're setting up for Pincha Mayurasana and Headstand (and why Andrea has decided to politely agree to disagree)

* How to avoid having an excessive curvature in the low back (a phenomenon often called "banana back") in Pincha Mayurasana

* Four helpful variations on Pincha Mayurasana
