Bakasana - Crane Pose

Balancing and strengthening asanas support students to find balance on a physical, mental and subtle level. These asanas develop lightness, build stamina, strength, enhance co-ordination and begin to still the unconscious movements of the physical body, mind and energetic body.

Bakasana or Crane Pose:

• Strengthens the arms and wrists
• Develops a sense of physical balance as this asana requires more co-ordination than strength 
• Stretches the upper back
• Engages the abdominal muscles
• Tones the abdominal organs
• Opens and improves flexibility in the groin
• And an understanding of how to do bakasana prepares the student for most other arm balances....
