Age Old Secret To Floating Forward Finally Revealed

So you are in down dog, about to come to standing forward fold (uttanasana) and the instructor gives the cue to "exhale and silently, without making a single sound float forward".

Now how many times has the teacher told you just how exactly this aerial, gravity defying feat of ninja stealth is performed?

A ...BIG ...Fat ...Zero...that's how many.

Fortunately, in your quest to self-empower your own yoginess, you have stumbled upon the right place. where this age old secret, previously known to only a select few, will now be revealed to the whole world. Drum roll...

<whispered silently> the next time you attempt to float forward, try landing on your heels.

Yep, that's it. And it works gangbusters.

You see, it's really hard to land on your heels. But the real secret, is that the very thought of landing on your heels makes you feel icky. You don't want to do that.

And in attempting to avoid this unpleasantness, you will do anything not to land on your heels, including hovering your feet magically above your wrists. True story.

So while you won't land on your heels, you will gain the much sought after air time.  And to the delight of your teacher (who still hasn't told you the secret to doing this), you will touch down like a feather on a pillow.

Soft landings, J
