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 ��
