Crow Pose
Bakasana
“Crane Pose” · Pronounced bah-KAH-sah-nah
Crow Pose (Bakasana) is an advanced balance pose. The first arm balance most people fall for — knees on triceps, feet hovering.

How to do Crow Pose
An advanced balance pose, step by step.
- 1Squat with your feet together and place your hands shoulder-width on the floor.
- 2Spread the fingers and bend the elbows straight back, like a Chaturanga.
- 3Lift the hips and place the knees high onto the backs of the upper arms.
- 4Shift your weight forward until the feet feel light, gaze slightly ahead.
- 5Lift one foot, then the other, drawing the heels toward the seat.
Alignment tips
- →Gaze forward, not down — the body follows the eyes, and looking down tips you over.
- →Round the upper back and hug the knees in; place a cushion ahead of you while learning.

What does Bakasana mean?
Bakasana comes from baka (crane) and asana (pose) — the Crane, commonly called Crow Pose, an arm balance where the body perches on the hands.
Is Crow Pose about arm strength?
Less than people think — it's mostly balance, a rounded back and shifting your weight forward over the hands. Core and focus matter more than raw arm power.
How do I stop falling forward in Crow Pose?
Place a folded blanket or cushion ahead of you so fear doesn't hold you back, gaze forward rather than down, and hug the knees high onto the arms.
