Crane Pose / Bakasana

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
