T-Tips:
*disclaimer: i do not have any formal yoga teaching*
- warm up with a few crow poses - especially your wrists!
- place your hands squarely to your side - think of how you would place your hands in crow
- keep your elbows bent - this will be your shelf for your inside leg
- leading with your knee, place your inside leg on your outside elbow
- breath out, and extend your inside leg forward, while bringing your outside leg up and out at a diagonal
- this is where your balance kicks in
- don't be afraid to use your head to re-calibrate everything as you shift into the pose
- keep your elbows at a 90 degree anle, lifting your chest and flexing all toes to engage your core
- after 2-3 breaths, twist out into a wide-leg stretch
- repeat on the other side
