What is Shoulder Pressing?

Bhuja Pidasana is an advanced arm balance. The exact leg placement and entry should be learned from a qualified teacher, not inferred from the name.

How should this posture be approached?

This page intentionally omits a full lift sequence.

  • Use a clear padded area and direct supervision.
  • Keep the face away from hard surfaces.
  • Do not squeeze or pull the legs into place if the hips or knees resist.
  • Stop for wrist, shoulder, elbow, or hip pain, numbness, or loss of control.

What is a lower-demand alternative?

Practice a supported squat with hands on blocks, or remain in a stable hands-and-knees position.

Common question: Should I hop forward to lift?

No. Avoid jumping into arm balances; learn a controlled method with a qualified teacher.
