My Crow Stats
Bakasana continues to elude me. It has taken me years just to get both feet off the ground. Now I can hold it for all of a nanosecond before I come crashing down to my mat. The antidote to my Crow woes is Power Flow & Fly, a vinyasa flow geared toward arm balance asanas. Below is "Before," stay tuned for "After." Thanks Travis for the awesome photo! |

Cracking the Crow Code
Bakasana is one of those poses that in my mind indicates an advanced level of proficiency in yoga. Getting into and holding this pose takes some time to figure out. Balancing the entire torso and legs like this is no easy feat. The yogi needs a strong core to lift and hold the legs up off the floor and point the feet upward. The downward tilt of Bakasana brings the ground awfully close to the face, so close that it almost makes face planting into the ground a done deal.
