Kakasana

kakasana

Took a nice walk this 4th of July along the Niagara River Gorge and chose this wonderful flat top boulder just south of Artpark for Stop, Drop, and Yoga. This is Kakasana otherwise known as Crow Pose. Bakasana AKA Crane Pose is sometimes confused with Crow as the two are very similar and often referred to interchangeably.

Crane differs mostly by having straight arms with the knees tucked up near the very top of the arms and feet lifted a little higher and closer to the body than what I have them here. In Crow typically the arms are bent with the knees lower and perhaps off to the side a bit. So, I pretty much have a solid crow that’s moving towards crane.

Enjoy!
