Crow Pose is a thrilling arm balance. You will have a fear of falling while doing this stance, but you will eventually conquer it.

Begin by squatting with your knees turned out and deeply bent. With your hands shoulder-distance apart, place them flat on the ground. Press your hands firmly into the mat while spreading your fingers wide, paying particular attention to the space between your thumb and index finger.

Bring your knees and shins to your outside, upper arms while bending your elbows as in Chaturanga stance. Engage your core muscles by drawing your belly into and rounding your upper spine as if you were in cat pose.

Step your feet together while shifting your weight forward onto your hands. Next, move it slightly further forward until your heels are lifted off the ground.

Eventually, raise one foot at a time until you are balanced with both feet off the ground. Hold for two to five breaths.
