Pose of the Month: Side Crow
to receive the pose of the month email please fill out our contact page.
Side Crow is a challenging pose but the more opportunities you give your self to soar the sooner you will find your toes floating off the floor. The first time I attempted this I rolled over and did not find myself taking flight, but each attempt taught my muscles the path needed to create the pose. Over time it became simple and "effortless". If you are feeling brave give it a try and remember you can keep your feet on the floor at long as you need to!
Bend your knees and come into a squat. Twist to your right and firmly plant your hands on the mat. As you find this low twist bring your left knee to your upper right arm and stack your right knee on top of it. If ready try lifting your top legs toes off the floor and maybe the bottom toes will follow. It does not matter whether you soar or just try to become comfortable with the idea of even attempting the pose. What matters is your attitude to towards yourself.
Namaste!
