How to do One Legged Crow

  1. Place your palms shoulder-width apart on the mat.
  2. Keep your left knee supported high on your left upper arm.
  3. Keep your elbows bent and steady beneath the balance.
  4. Spread your fingers and keep pressure through the base of each finger.
  5. Firm your abdomen to support your pelvis while your right leg is lifted.
  6. Press the mat away to keep your chest from sinking between your arms.
  7. Look slightly ahead of your hands without throwing your head back.

Variations

Stay in two-knee crow if lifting one leg makes your arms buckle.
