What does Flying Lizard refer to?

Flying Lizard is a contemporary arm-balance label built from a lunge-like base. The catalog name does not define one standardized transition or hand placement.

How should the pose be approached?

Learn the exact version in person from a qualified teacher. This page intentionally does not describe a lift-off sequence.

  • Keep the back knee grounded while learning the base.
  • Do not shift body weight onto the arms until a teacher has assessed the setup.
  • Use clear space and suitable supervision for any balance practice.
  • Stop for wrist, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, numbness, or instability.

What is a lower-demand alternative?

Practice a supported Lizard Pose with blocks or a chair and both feet/knees grounded.

Common question: Is a jump needed?

Do not jump into an arm balance; use teacher-led, controlled preparation.
