#YogaFlightFest Day 2: Bakasana or Crow/Crane Pose ?For my beginners... You may want to practice this with a pillow in front of your face. 1⃣Squat down coming up onto the balls of your feet. Separate your knees and place your hands down onto your mat. Fingers spread wide, hands are shoulder width distance apart. Try to get your knees to the outside of your armpits. If you have trouble, try standing on a block to help get your knees higher. 2⃣Gazing slightly past your fingertips... Start to lean forward, bending your elbows and bringing your buttasana up. At this point, knees can stay slightly to the outside of your arms or you can place your knees directly onto your triceps. In either case, thighs and elbows will squeeze in toward the midline. Round your upper back. 3⃣Continue to lean forward until you come up onto your tippy toes. 4⃣It's time to pick up those toesies! Slowly try to pick up one foot, hugging the heel toward your bottom. If you feel steady, try to bring up the second foot to meet the first. Continue to squeeze in and round your upper back! If you cannot bring both feet up... NO WORRIES! Just practice switching feet. 5⃣Breathe. Slowly release down and take a child's pose. 6⃣Intermediate/Advanced Options: ?Bring both feet up at the same time. ?Work on straightening the arms. ?Go from today's Tripod Headstand into Bakasana. Play, have fun, but BE SAFE! @laurasykora@beachyogagirl @mackenzieyoga @tinabock @liquidoactive She wears Pattern Legging "Tropical Green"
