The plow pose can be a very intimidating posture for most people. “You want me to put my head there and my feet where?!”

It seems like a pose that you’d have to be very flexible to do in the first place, and not something that everyone can just start doing. But we have some very do-able ways to start working on this very beneficial posture.

First up is the use of supports for your back and legs. Some people have difficulty with their neck flexibility. Using some folded towels under your shoulders can help decrease the stretch on your neck.

Next, get close to a wall so that you can have your back up against it to help keep you in position.

Last, and probably the most common issue we are asked, is how to get your feet on the ground behind your head.  Two simple solutions are to keep your knees bent and lower your knees to the ground instead of attempting to keep the knees straight right away.  And if you have trouble doing even that, get a box or stool to place your feet on.

As you practice the posture and improve your flexibility and strength, you’ll be able to gradually remove all supports and do it all on your own.

Let's Recap

  • Support your neck
  • Support your back
  • Bend your knees

It doesn't seem so hard now, does it?

How to Get a Free Prasara Primer DVD on Us (and do Ryan a big favor in the process)

Hey, this is Ryan, and I've got an idea I think you're going to like. It'll also help me out a ton.

You see, I've been living in Japan since college - pretty much my entire adult life. I moved here to study martial arts and just never left. It's been about eighteen years now, and Japan has come to feel very much like home to me.

But things change, and now that we've got two young children, my wife and I decided it's time to let them experience life in the US.

And that's where this idea comes in...

I have a box of Prasara Primer DVDs sitting in my living room. It's big and heavy, and there's really just no way I can ship them all overseas with all our stuff - primarily, my kids' toys. So...

Instead, I'm giving them away for free to anybody who purchases the Prasara Primer between now and our moving date in December.

Here's a preview of the DVD (actual audio and video quality on the DVD is much higher):

To get your DVD, you don't have to do anything special. Just order the Primer, and I'll send it over - I'll even pay for shipping.

There's just one catch: When these sell out, that's it.

There will never be any more copies made.

You might have a few questions about the DVD and the Primer, so FYI:

  • The DVD includes the demonstrations Five original Prasara Primer flow routines - in beginner and advanced versions.
  • It's really nicely filmed in some fantastic locations.
  • The download includes instruction in each flow, plus the intermediate version of each, and newer flow, called Root, I designed just for people who are totally new to yoga.
  • The download videos include slow motion and voice overs to break down the details of each movement.
  • There's an eBook course manual that spells out everything you need to know about yoga and implementing it in your routine.

Most importantly, this is the very best yoga program available online.

I truly believe that, and Gold Medal Bodies will guarantee it. If you follow the program, you're going to feel great, with more flexibility, balance, and strength in just a few weeks.

You'll also have a lot of fun practicing these routines.

If you've been wanting to learn yoga, this is a great time to check out the Primer. You'll be getting a sweet bonus on a great program, and helping me not get the beat-down from my wife if I don't get rid of all these DVDs.

*Note: This special is now over.
