Arm Balancing

Bakasana, or “crow/crane” pose is a great way to tone your abdominals, strengthen your wrists and arms, and stretch your upper back and groin. Plus, when you nail the pose, you can’t help but feel a burst of empowerment from your inner yoga ninja! Try out these quick tips from Adi for blissful balancing in Bakasana.

If this is your first attempt, we admit, the pose can seem daunting. Keep your feet on the floor and try lifting one at a time. This may be your move for weeks/months and that’s fine. With enough diligence and practice, you’ll get it! Worried about face plants? Realize that in the beginning, everything takes a little faith… and setting up a pillow crash pad has never hurt anyone. We’re pretty sure novice ninjas use the same technique!
