Скачать или смотреть Oregon City Yoga - How to: The Crow Yoga Pose

Crow
The crow is a balancing posture which strengthens the shoulders, arms and wrists, improving balance while stretching the muscles of the forearms, wrists and fingers. It is credited to be very helpful for repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, and for people who spend a lot of time on the computer.
How To:
Starting in a squatting position on your feet:
1. Place your hands on the floor in front of your feet with palms down and fingers spaced apart. Be sure the hands are at least shoulder width.
2. Bend your elbows and place your knees on the upper part of your arms. The best location of the knees varies depending on your body. The closer the knees are to the armpits the harder the crow posture is.
3. Keep your eyes 2 to 3 feet in front of you. Keeping your concentration in front of your hands will prevent you from falling forward.
4. Gently shift your weight forward over your hands until your feet come gradually off the floor. When both feet are off the floor comfortably, touch the big toes together. Always keep looking at the floor in front of your hands while holding this position.
5. If it is painful for the wrists at first, try shifting the weight forward until you feel some pressure on the wrists, and then practice lifting first one foot and then the other off the ground until the wrists build up strength to lift both feet off the ground together.
To come out of the pose, gradually exhale and lower the feet back down to your mat.
