How to do the Crow Pose (Bakasana)

Crow Pose is a fun and challenging pose that is doable for all levels! If you are interested in yoga arm balance poses, this is the first step to try before moving onto more advanced poses. 

Although it seems daunting, you may be surprised to find that it is easier than you think! With some practice, you can achieve arm balances in no time! 

I recommend starting with a wrist warm up to prepare for this pose. A few examples I demonstrate in this tutorial are: wrist wrist circles, finger flicks, prayer hands forearm stretch.

If you have weak wrists, this pose can allow you to gain strength in your forearms and help you gain wrist strength as well. 

However, if you have a wrist injury or osteoporosis of the wrist I recommend checking with a medical professional before trying this pose.
