Crow pose! I remember taking really long to nail this (I actually got my Titibhasana first). The biggest reason for me not getting it back then was actually not leaning forward enough. It's the fear of planting my face on the floor but ever since I used a pillow to break my fall it helped me understand how far forward I can go without tipping over.
Another important point is to remember that it's an active pose. You engage your muscles to keep it up instead of trying to find a balancing point and hoping it'll stay there. Harsh but true.
Okay beginning to sound like a naggy aunty. Swipe swipe for more notes that will hopefully help you in your crow pose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📷 1) Getting into crow pose
📷 2) Using a pillow to help break your fall. You can also get a friend or your yoga teacher to support your shoulder as you slowly shift forward
📷 3) Not-so-ideal postures that might have hindered your progress (I forgot to explain why so ask me if you're curious)
📷 4) Palm placement is important in all arm balances, check check!
📷 5) Training for Crane pose (straight arms)
There are so many different adjustments depending on body type so if the little notes here don't help you can also always DM me a video of you doing it and I'll see if I can help further. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
