Side Crow

Crow pose is pretty common, so your arms are probably so used to doing it that it might even be easy for you. If that's the case, Side Crow will have you strengthening one side more than the other, so it's a killer move for your upper body. Just be sure to do this pose on both sides.

The poses are beautiful to look at! No upper body strength here sadly. I've got funny shoulders and doing downward dog with triceps rolling in KILLS me. I asked my teacher how I could work on that, and he said just to practice downward dog until I get it. I'm so keeping these poses as my goal!

Wow. I can do #7 and maaaaybe #4. The thing I wonder is how you work up to these. I feel like the beginner workouts that just include basic sequences in no way prepare you for these more advanced moves. How do you make the leap?
