The Crow and Crane poses in yoga can be a little difficult to get when you're first starting out. They require not only strength but balance to perform correctly.
If you've downloaded our Cricket Flow sample routine, you've seen that we use these poses in our Prasara Primer course. Soem people have written us with questions about nailing these postures, so here's a video from our friend Logan at Lost Art of Handbalancing with a beginner variation you can use while you perfect your form.
It's a simple tweak that makes this a LOT easier:
As you practice and get more comfortable with the balance, you'll want to turn those elbows back in and begin to straighten them. This will build your strength and prepare you to move up to the Crane (arms fully extended) version of the pose.
Incidentally, Logan's site also has a ton of information on handbalancing (go figure...) and bridging. Check it out.
