Want to nail your titthibhasana firefly pose? Let's go!

This yoga firefly pose series shows you five different ways to take flight in titibasana, starting simple and working our way up.

First, basic entry from standing. Squoosh and push your shoulders way in there to get real lift!

The best arm balance training routine is as easy as being patient and persevering...and not being attached to the results. Wherever you are in your arm balance progression is exactly perfect. If you're feeling it, you're doing it! Practice every day and you WILL see results!
