JUMP THROUGHS: Ashtanga Yoga
Remember that your straight arms will always feel more powerful and strong than bent arms because you leverage the strength of your bones in the pose. When done properly, you can jump through and back with very little muscular strength at all. You will need to engage your bandhas (internal locks), and even more so, you need to learn how to transfer your weight from your feet to your hands, and then back to you feet again.

HIPS IN JUMP THROUGHS
Your hips are the missing link here and you want to put your focus on hip position at al times. The higher your hips are in the air over your shoulders, the lighter your feet and legs will feel. The converse is also true.

PRACTICE MOVEMENTS: Ashtanga Yoga Jump Thru’s
Practice mock jumps with both hands and feet on the floor. You do this by keeping your arms all the way straight and rising up on your tips toes. Move your chest out over your hands and then back again. Feel yourself supported by your hands, then feet, then back to hands again.
