8 unbelievably difficult yoga poses you have to see to believe?

Answer 1

1. Firefly Pose
2. To get into this tricky position, you need to start in a squatted position and place your feet a little less than hip width apart. Tilt forward until your weight is on your hands. Then shift your self to your hands while you keep your knees close to your shoulders. Then stretch your legs out parallel to the ground and straighten your arms.
3. Wounded PeacockTo get into wounded peacock, keep the fingers on your weight bearing hand turned out. Steady your feet on the floor while balancing your weight on your elbow and extend the other arm out and forward. Rest your fingers on the floor until you get your legs off the ground. Finish the pose by lifting the front arm off the ground as well.
4. Lotus Headstand Variation with Bound LegsGet into a headstand position in your elbows in place to help you balance. Touch the soles of your feet together then bend at the knees to create a diamond shape. After some practice, try putting your hands together in prayer position.
5. Eight-Angle PoseThis pose is rather complicated. To do it, go into a forward bend with your hands on either side of your feet, knees slightly bent. Put your right arm between your legs as you bend your knees and elbows, moving your right leg over the back of your right arm. Move your left leg to the right side of your body, cross your ankled and lift yourself off the floor.
6. One Handed Tree PoseOnce you've mastered the handstand (which is tricky enough) try lifting an arm up. It requires immense arm and core strength, not to mention some pretty strong wrists.
7. Crane PoseTuck yourself into a ball position, put your hands on the ground and bend your elbows. Put the back of your upper arms on your shins and shift your weight to the balls of your feed. Lean forward and transfer the weight to your hands. Then tuck your knees into the back of your arms. Straighten your arms and look forward.
8. Forearm-Stand ScorpionStart with a simple headstand, with your hands clasped and your head between your arms. Then look up with your head and unclasp your hands, spreading your fingers out to keep your balance in forearm-stand. Brink your legs together and slowly bend your knees.
9. Formidable Face PoseStart in downward facing dog with two blocks laying lengthwise in front of you, shoulder width apart. Bend your elbows and place your shoulders in the middle of the blocks. Walk your feet into dolphin pose and keep your hips lifted. Lift one leg into the air and then hop the second one up to meet it.
