Crow Pose
Explanatory Video
Description
- Begin in a deep squat with your feet close together and hands placed firmly on the floor in front of you, shoulder-width apart.
- Spread your fingers wide and press through your palms to create a stable base.
- Lift your hips high and place your knees on the back of your triceps, as close to your armpits as possible.
- Lean forward, shifting your center of gravity over your hands. Keep your gaze forward rather than straight down to help with balance.
- Gently lift one foot off the floor, then the other, bringing your big toes to touch.
- Engage your core and push the floor away, rounding your upper back slightly. Hold for as long as possible while maintaining steady breath.
