Love the flying pigeon to crow back to pigeon to chaturanga!!! I work on that one 😉
Great video! Loved the message at the end! You cannot fly if you are afraid to fall!
SOOOO glad i found you here..!! Your instagram vídeos usually don’t have sound it’s so nice having a tutorial voice to the videos. LOVE seeing your posts..! ❤️����
That was incredible! Great video �� with more practice I will do it.
Learn how to do flying piegon pose by breaking it down into four steps. Enjoy and remember not to be so hard on yourself if it doesn’t work the first few (hundred) times.:)
thanks for the tip. what mat are you using, btw? like the natural colour it looks.
Liked this tutorial? Take a full class with Jim on jumping in and out of crow pose here: https://yogainternational.com/class/jumping
Shana! You are the best teacher ever! Thank you so much, can’t wait to try it out. I’ve got the hook, and the hips and now with your precise instructions I’m going to do it! Although, I must say, it has been one of the most challenging poses for me thus far. You make it look so easy ��
Thank you so much Shana! wish I can take your class in person ❤️ yogi from Maryland!!!
I can’t believe how much bending the knee more made such a huge difference to getting into this pose, thank you so much
I have tried crow for YEARS. I just got it because of this clip. I have watched SO MANY videos, read so many tips. Nothing got me into crow but this. Thank you!!!
There is a big element missing from these types of videos. I have a great teacher that taught me this pose, and I can now do it. These videos only describe how they would move into the position that the eye sees. Not what is needed to create the pose yourself.
Best explanation! Can u make a video about salabasana /chin stand
I love how I’ve been working on this pose and you made a video for it! I can do every step except getting my leg straight out for more than 2 seconds. It’s so frustrating. I’ve really been working on back bends and wheel pose I can’t seem to figure out how to do wheel on my forearms. Would love to see a video from you on it bc you explain things really well thanks.
Hi Shana! I tried it twice but all my weight are on my hands I felt like I am goin to hit my face on the floor hehe and is painful when I let my knee on my triceps. I think I am doing it wrong. Thank you!!
This is VERY helpful. The breakdown really makes sense and now I can place my knee more consciously. Thank you.
OMG! This is so tough! Cant straight the leg yet. But thankyou so much for the instruction! Im still working (very hard) on it
I’m “hooked” and always ready to fly with your instructional videos. Love the flow between the poses. I never thought a crow and pigeon could be so harmonious. <3
I’m impressed that you are able to talk while do this. Amazing! Love your explanation.
Tried out implementing these tips and did my first one-legged crow today! Thank you so much!
Great video! Soon as I try lifting my leg and straightening it, I lose balance. I have decent core strength though but somehow soon as the leg goes up, I can probably hold the pose for like 2 or 3 seconds and it falls down. What am I doing wrong?
Could you please provide me a help, when I rest my shin across my tricep and lean forward, the weight is causing a bruise on my tricep and the pain is so bad if I hold in longer. Any hints?
Shana you look great! Please do a video how to make icing feet forward of pashchimotonachana in chaturangadandasana. (As in Ashtanga yoga surya namaskar)
For me it’s a mystery century, may have a very short arms? My body no it does not fit between the arms in length. Please open secret forwarding legs under him from a sitting position to a supine.
Amazing!! I can do a crow but I need to open up my hips:D thank you so much.
Every time I watch your video, seems like you doing it effortless and me doing it like sweat dripping on my mat ��
Fab much better on both sides with your excellent instruction. Glad I found your site.
I face-planted so many times during an inversion workshop and at home attempting to do this. You taught me in 3 minutes. Thank you.
you are greaaaaaaaat whatever looks your hairstyle!!!! love from spain
Thanks to these tips I got into the pose much more easily! Game changer. thank you
Wow great tips!! I kept putting my knees up too high into my armpits. Going to give this a try. ��
I am flabbergasted why don’t you have more views!! Every time I want to try a new pose I immediately search your videos for it, then I try it, and I GET INTO THE POSE. Such good tips and secrets for getting into poses. Thank you!!!
I love how you teach. So thorough, and fun! Thank you, from Costa Rica. <3
Thx a lot! This pose looked very hard to me but then when I bend my knee it became so easy! Learnt this in 1 day. Plz upload more vids,you ‘re the best
thank you sooo much! i was able to do it after five tries because of your explanation of the shelf concept and lifting the hips high and pointing the toes up! UNLOCKED WOOHOOOO!
Woww thanks to you! Ur tips really help me get into my ekapadabakasanaaa!!!
Not many people articulate the different places to allocate weight in this pose. Thanks for the clarification!
Excellent teacher
I wish I could be in your class
Thank you again for a great tutorial
This really helped. I was able to get my legs up for the first time after watching the hints. Thank you
Thank you so much, I could not make this pose until I see your tips.
4:44. Now I can do this pose bcz of that thing U told! You are great!!!!
I don’t know the way my arms now! I can balance but my arms aren’t near as strong as they used to be reasons being anyway, I might be able to do this pose and might not sure would like to try it and see if I can do this one day! ����❤
can you make videos for handstand training, workouts for shoulder strength and flexibility..
Wow, thanks for the video, it’s really helpful! Just tried the pose and I nailed it!)
Thank you! It looks so easy but I want to try it. Which side of the body should I put more weight. Thank you once again.
I was not able to hold this pose until I watch this clip. The bending-knee-a-lot is the key that helps me into the pose. Thank you!!!
Love, Love so much… really helped me to understand the… now I just need a little more strength and to work the transfer of weight
