Any fowl will do: the point is that you’ll be perched like a bird on a wire. To complete this How-To you will need: Comfortable clothing suitable for stretching and moving A calm place where you won’t be distracted or disturbed A yoga mat or folded blanket A pillow Warning: Do not practice this pose if you have carpal tunnel syndrome, are pregnant, or have high blood pressure. Step 1: Squat on mat Squat on your mat with your feet wide apart and your knees pointing outward. Step 2: Reach out arms Reach your arms in front of you. Step 3: Place hands on floor Place your hands on the floor in front of you, directly below your shoulders, with your fingers spread out. Your knees should rest on the back of your upper arms, as close to your armpits as possible. Step 4: Rise up on toes Rise up on your toes, shifting your weight forward onto your hands. Feel the weight distributed from the knees into the arms into the hands. Tip: This might be as far as you go with this pose at first …

I used to be able to do it, Its actually really difficult, I could barely do it but there was a kid I knew who could do it with one hand O.o
we do that in gym 4 out of 5 days and we have to stay like that for 10 minutes
I look more like a turkey when I do it.
i learnt to do it when i was 12, i am now 13 =]
i did it right now, i was never before do yoga
dam.. i forgot the tip “Put a pillow infront of you incase of inbalance” =[
*lose of balance
xD nice dude…
i sleep in this pose and drive to work in it as well
Ah, so this is a crow pose. I use this move a lot in bboying lol, I’ve faceplanted on it when I first learned it o.o
have done this.. but i forgot the key point of lifting toes which makes it easier
I’d be afraid I would fall forward and that, despite the pillow, my neck would snap.
i love howcast videos.
Very helpful video. I tried it, but my knees really hurt my arms – I must have been squeezing them too hard… not sure how to stop that
. I will try again of course though. Thanks

I like these…but I can’t help find the guy hopelessly awkward.
@repugnantlegacy lmao
@WilmaBridget did you ever figure out how to not squeeze them so hard?
I was totally doing this pose wrong. I nailed it the first time I did it in my yoga class, but haven’t been able to do it since. Very helpful video.
she looks like casey anthony lol
