2. Build arm strength: Flying crow pose requires strong arms to support your body weight. Hold the pose for longer periods of time as you build strength and confidence. The metamorphosis into Flying Crow requires a marriage of strength and flexibility. What is Flying Crow Pose? It’s a variation of the Crow Pose, but with a more challenging twist, literally. Once you’ve conquered your fears around the crow pose, it’s time to prepare for take off. The Half Crow Pose is one of the most beneficial of the balancing poses, and is definitely one of the hardest yoga poses. People who don’t practice yoga or who are newer to the experience are always mystified by arm balancing. By shifting your weight forward and engaging your core, you can begin to explore other arm balances and deepen your understanding of balance and strength. Begin by starting small. Begin with Mountain Pose, gracefully flow into Downward-Facing Dog, and then move through the Warriors, cultivating a sequence that echoes the rhythm of your breath. One other method to work as much as the pose is to begin by standing on a block.

Next, grab a block and set it to the tallest setting. Try lifting one foot, then the next, then both. Now play with lifting a foot and then the other. Now that the block is removed keep your gaze forward towards the top of your mat to keep yourself lifted away from the floor. Now keep the hands where they are, lift your hips, bring your feet together and set your inner thighs to your outer arms above the elbows. This pose stretches the hips, hamstrings, and groin muscles, increasing flexibility in these areas. It also engages the abdominal muscles, helping to tone the core. Your pelvis is in the most efficient position when you can feel your abdominal core muscles engaging. Straighten your arms as much as you can. In crow pose, the elbows are bent and forearms vertical, sometimes with the legs resting on the higher arms. However, if the forearms aren’t vertical, it’s not possible to successfully perform this yoga pose because the body is not in the line of gravity. In crow pose, the elbows are bent and forearms vertical, typically with the legs resting on the upper arms.

Whenever your hands are on the mat, create a strong grip and foundation to help boost your confidence and understanding for when you are attempting other poses. Roll a towel and place it over the hands for a more ergonomic grip and reduce wrist strain. From a squat position about a foot or two away from the block, practice setting the hands on your mat shoulders distance apart. The other leg is bent, with the foot tucked into the opposite elbow crease. Flexibility in the hips and hamstrings is also important to comfortably extend one leg backward. If you find it challenging to keep your feet off the ground, work on gradually building your strength and flexibility with modifications and preparatory exercises. It not only improves physical attributes like balance, strength, and flexibility but also promotes mental attributes such as concentration, determination, and patience, making it a comprehensive tool for overall personal development. It also improves core stability and enhances balance and coordination. 5. Engage your core: Strong core engagement is crucial for stability in Flying Crow. At the heart of stability lies the powerhouse of the body-the core.

Pay special attention to the engagement of the core and activation of the head of the shoulders and the shoulder blades on the back. This requires extra core energy and steadiness. We recommend the LEUS Eco Towel which is antimicrobial, super soft, and extra absorbent. Another common pitfall is neglecting the gaze or drishti; a fixed point aids focus and equilibrium. For our purposes, we’re going to focus on the Mula Bhanda at the base of your pelvis. As the shape becomes more familiar and comfortable take the block away. 3. Shift your weight up, a little forward, pull your heals towards your glutes and take flight! It is helpful to spread the weight evenly across our hands and make sure we have a good contact of the hands with the floor. Spread the fingers wide, press into the finger pads and claw the mat. Lastly, Yoga Crow Pose flip your fingertips up to point at the ceiling and spread your fingers wide. Press down into the pads of the fingertips to create a clawing action in the hands. Resist the urge to lower the block down. Use a bolster or block under the forehead for a sense of security as you lean forward.
