#bakasana - bite-sized #yogatips. So what I am doing here is #kakasana, the diff btw the 2 poses is that the arms are straight in #bakasana (#cranepose).

#armbalances are hard for me coz of my slightly skewed left shoulder (arising from a pin in my left shoulderblade).

When it comes to arm balances, while the grounding (the arms) need to be secure, the strength comes from the core, so get your core in a nice concave position, with your navel area really drawn in.

The lift comes from the legs & feet, so don’t do what I am doing here (you can see me kinda collapsing). Plantar flex your feet (really get those toes pointed), activate your #hamstrings to draw the calves in, then lift your pointed toes as high as you can towards your butt.

And of course, enter the pose with equanimity, confidence & faith. Lift one toe up at a time to start with. It will come, if it isn’t already!
