Crow Pose
(Bakasana)

Start in a squat position. Place both hands on the floor. Keep the hands shoulder width apart. Keep your fingers spread wide. Bring your knees up near your armpits. Place your knees as high up as you can on your inner upper arms. At first you will need to bend you elbows a bit in order to make a little platform to keep your knees. It is essential to keep your head lifted high to stop you from falling forward. Without hopping or jerking, slowly and gradually shift your weight onto your arms and gently lift your feet. Never hold your breath. Balance for as long as you can. Strengthens arms and abdominal organs. Excellent for developing balance.
