Crane Pose / Bakasana

I've had more than a few students this past week asking me about setting up Crane Pose / Bakasana, so I thought I'd make another video regarding some details.

I've posted crane tutorials before, but perhaps I'll mention or show something a little differently here that might highlight some aspect of the posture in a new or different way that is helpful.

But as always, the secret is not so much in having it explained just right, but in practicing many times. Trying and failing again and again, combined with not settling for "good enough".

That said, here are some tips...
  • Set the knees (not the shins) as high up on the back of the arms as you can get them.
  • Tuck your knees into the arms and thighs into the ribs.
  • Start with the arms/elbows about 75% straight, then  over time progress to 100% straight arms.
  • If you never fall/lose your balance, you're probably holding back.
  • Find a teacher that pushes you out of your comfort zone.

To receive more guidance developing your practice you can register for in person or online classes at the link below.

See you in class!
