#1 Fundamentals of Flight

Here we build that foundations upon which the flight of Bakasana (crow pose) are built on. Starting with this practice is important because laying solid foundations and practices will enable you to fly higher faster and for longer. 

This also can give you an edge the next time you are in a class situation and are given a small amount of time to get into Bakasana.

#2 Lightness in Crow

In this practice I take you through how to find your own lightness and flight in some beautiful and dynamic entry and exits of Bakasana. 

Having taken your first leaps, let's look to the sky and practice some hang time.

#3 One Leg Crow

Time to meet the one legged crow! There is power in the asymmetry of this pose and it requires balance, strength and resolve.

Building your practice of Eka Pada Bakasana (One Legged Crow Pose) may take time as it is not an easy pose. Having your body weight balance asymmetrically changes the dynamics of how we have been practising thus far in the series.

#4 Side Crow

This practice introduces another dynamic of the crow family as we take a twist now with Parsva Bakasana (Side Crow).  As Eka Pada Bakasana developed linear strength and balance, now we explore holding a rotated position that is slightly asymmetric. 

The preparatory pose for Parsva Bakasana are different than for the other variations, so this practice does add a new dimension to round out the series.
