Bakasana, or Crow Pose, is an advanced arm-balancing yoga posture where the body is supported on the hands while the knees rest on the upper arms. It strengthens the wrists, arms, shoulders, and core muscles. This pose also improves balance, concentration, body awareness, and builds mental focus and self-confidence.

When performing Bakasana (Crow Pose), avoid these common mistakes:

• Not warming up wrists – Skipping wrist preparation can cause strain or injury.
• Placing hands too far apart – This reduces stability and balance.
• Bending elbows outward too much – Keep elbows slightly in for better support.
• Looking down instead of forward – Not focusing forward can cause loss of balance.
• Lifting hips too low – Insufficient hip lift makes it harder to balance on arms.
• Rushing into the pose – Jumping quickly instead of controlled movement increases falling risk.
• Holding breath – Breath control is essential; holding it reduces stability and focus.
