Bakasana (Crow Pose): A beginning Arm Balance Posture
This past week in class we have been focusing on Arm Balances. Arm
Balances to beginner students can feel overwhelming and almost
impossible. It’s important to remember that those students who continue to
practice their standing postures consistently and well find Arm Balances
becoming easier and easier. Standing postures are the foundation of your
whole practice. If your standing work is weak, so will everything else you
do in yoga. Until Arm Balances return to our class curriculum, continue to
practice your standing work, which is why every class consists of them. I
have never seen a student who performed a standing asana well who could
not do an arm balance. They come one in the same.
