Pendant Pose is a seated arm balance in which the body may lift between the hands. Use blocks or a teacher-approved supported press, keep the feet grounded during preparation, and do not swing or jump into the lift.
What is Pendant Pose?
Lolasana is a seated arm balance that may involve lifting the legs and pelvis from the floor. It requires wrist and shoulder capacity and should be learned with a qualified teacher.
How should a supported exploration work?
Use firm blocks under the hands only if a teacher has shown the setup to be suitable.
- Begin seated with the feet grounded and hands supported.
- Keep the shoulders comfortable and elbows controlled.
- Do not swing the legs or jump to create lift.
- Lower immediately if the wrists or shoulders feel strained.
How can you modify Pendant Pose?
Keep the feet on the floor and practice a gentle seated hand press, or choose a stable seated posture without lifting.
When should you stop or seek guidance?
Stop for wrist, elbow, shoulder, or back pain, numbness, or loss of control. This draft awaits qualified review.
Common question: Do both feet have to lift?
No. Keep them grounded unless a teacher has assessed the full balance.
