Yoga Crow Pose

Video Transcript

"In crow you start off with mountain posture with the heels together, toes apart. And take your left foot out. Now in crow, you're going to find each side of your body's a little bit different. You can take that right foot and just touch that big toe right to the floor. And take your shoulders right back. Now when you take your shoulders back in a standing posture for balance, it helps you with balance, it opens up the sternum and bring your arms right up. In mountain posture, with the feet starting off and then into crow, now you want your fingers pointing toward the floor, and the toes. It's called pointing the fingers and toes towards the earth. Shoulders are right back. In this posture here you can lift up that left knee. Some people find it challenging so you just put 95% of the weight on one leg and 5% inside the other. But you can come up with that leg. You can take that leg out away from you. Breathe in deep through your nose and exhale and another deep breath in, exhale. And another deep breath in, exhale. Now release right down into that and shift your body weight so your right foot goes off the floor, take it away from you. Take the arms out, the shoulders back, fingers and towards the earth. Ninety-five percent of the weight will go on the straight leg on the left, or pick up that right foot, bring in deep through your nose, and exhale. Another deep breath in, exhale. You can take that out, pointing the toes towards the earth. Breathe in deep through your nose, and exhale. Another deep breath in, exhale, release and come right down. And shaker it out."
