The Yoga Pose for the Day is............


Crow Pose

Crow pose is an arm balance that increases both arm and core strength, while allowing you to work on overall balance.  You begin in a squat position with hands on the floor about shoulder distance apart.  Bring the knees to the back of the arms (somewhere in beteween the tricep and the underarm area). Begin by rolling your weight forward onto the arms and start with lifting one leg off of the ground.  As you progress in the posture, venture out by taking both feet off the ground and you can interlock your big toes for stability.  Your gaze should be forward and work towards straightening the arms out.  Hold this posture for 5 to 10 slow, controlled breaths.
