Crane Pose / Bakasana

0 Comments

Read Now
 
Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga demonstrating and discussing some details of Crane Pose / Bakasana.
In this video I demonstrate and discuss setting up Crane Pose / Bakasana from a squat position which is the flexibility component of the posture...being able to make the body compact/tucking the legs in close to the ribs. After that, it's strength and concentration with a bit of courage/confidence.

This video may make it seem too simple, but keep in mind that many hours of practicing/polishing basic movements and postures come before being able to lift into Crane. The saying, "The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried." is true. Find an accomplished teacher that has been where it is you want to go, keep showing up and wholeheartedly practice your basics, fall down seven times and get up eight.

Set your goals, but remember, it is the journey of daily practice that brings the most fruit, not so much the destination. What it takes/makes of you to get there.

Keep going.

Jason

Vinyasa (Breathing & Moving)

Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga demonstrating a combination of yoga postures and transitions frequently practiced in class at DY.
In this video I demonstrate Bridge Pose, Paschimottanasana, and Knees to Ears Pose, a combination or sequence of postures that are often linked together in class.  In Vinyasa (breathing and moving) practice, every movement to and from each posture has an inhale or exhale associated with it as well as keeping the deep rhythm of breathing whilst in the postures themselves.

The entire practice is a breathing exercise with movement matched to it, which demands deliberate action and concentration, building a strong mind body connection and over time revealing and settling the many fluctuations of the mind.

I won't even mention how many hours it may take to scratch the surface of this depth of practice, just that it is well worth the investment of time.

Keep going.

Jason

Tree Pose / Vrksasana

One of my favourite postures.  Tree Pose / Vrksasana.  Simple but not easy.  Stand on one foot, keep taking deep breaths and pay attention so that you don't fall over.  And if you do?  Let it go and start over.  Better next time.

Keep going.

Head Stand / Baddha Hasta Sirsasana A

Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga demonstrating entering and exiting Head Stand / Sirsasana.
Here is a demonstration of lifting the legs to and from Head Stand / Sirsasana.  Starting to work on headstand requires  having developed the strength in the arms and shoulders to support the body and this lifting and lowering of the legs requires descent core strength.  One does not just jump into headstand...it takes time to develop.  Be patient.

Keep going.

Boat Pose / Navasana

Jason Schramm of Detroit Yoga demonstrating transitioning to and from Boat Pose / Navasana
This video is a demonstration of what Boat Pose / Navasana will look like after after a few (or more) years of consistent deliberate practice.

Jacks of all trades master nothing.  Stick with it.  Things don't change by leaps and bounds.  It's little by little, week by week and month after month of consistently practicing to be a little bit better than you were yesterday.  Then 12 or 24 months later you see that you've done something that the former you thought was impossible.  

Keep going.
