How to do Crow Pose:
1. Start in a squat position. Bring your knees shoulder distance apart and place your elbows slightly below your knees. Your knees will come into the lower tricep, upper elbow area.
2. Bring your hands to the ground, roughly shoulder distance apart. Wrap your triceps back so your elbows face toward the back of the room.
3. Shift forward and bend your arms so they begin to create a shelf for your knees to rest on.
4. Transfer the weight of your body into your fingertips so your toes become a bit lighter.
5. Pull one heel into your glutes, shift forward a bit more, then pull the other foot into your glutes.
6. Balance on both hands and keep engagement through your inner thighs and legs.
7. Bring your gaze down or slightly forward.
