The scale comparison is a stroke of genius and the visual effect was pure brilliance. Can't wait to revisit my crow pose with these tips in mind.

[@hannahmitchell87]

3 years of yoga & I've still not nailed crow for more than a couple seconds. These tips are great! Can't wait to implement them. Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤

[@PersephoneSkye_]

This is great! love the shelf to arms analogy.

[@weronikak5869]

Plus, as for error #4 - I've had a yoga teacher tell me before that my knees should be higher, while it was way easier for me to try closer to my elbows. Good to know that my intuitive movement was not "wrong"! 💙

[@soclose2her]

I had a teacher tell me the same thing! I was balancing effortlessly and forever, then I went to a retreat where the instructor told me to get my knees up my arms (instead of on top of my elbows) and as close to my armpits as possible. I couldn’t find my balancing point after that, and it was so much harder to hold 😩

[@halbarand833]

Thank you very much for the eye-openers! As someone who is kinda self-trained on video-lessons, trying it with those errors in mind makes it almost effortless compared to the struggle before! Looking forward to more helpful tips & flows!

I love Crow Pose as it's my favorite Arm Balance. These tips were super interesting, thanks for sharing! And I agree: Fear is something that holds us back in many challenging poses!

[@luisa146]

I learnt crow with the knees way up the triceps. I could do it but I hated it because it was kind of painful to have the knees pushing down on the muscle that's supposed to do much of the work. Then I found out i could just have the knees rest on the elbows. A game changer! It's so much easier and i can actually concentrate on the breath this way.

[@00243Shawn]

I am impressed with the quality of your videos. Since I have no experience with yoga I have a question: What is your most beneficial stretching/mobility video for a gymnast? I am 25 years old and started gymnastics a couple months ago. I have a good overall fitness but tend to be the skinnier type of guy. My static range is kinda ok I guess, but my dynamic range is not. I am looking for a full body routine. I am willing to invest 45 minutes every morning since I enjoy the feeling of stretching. I hope you can point me in the right direction, thank you😊

[@rikich15]

Fantastic video! I more or less managed to nail the crow technique, although I can't hold it for as long as I'd like to yet and now trying to learn crane... looking forward was definitely a game changer. My main issue, though, is knees sliding off the arms due to sweat... I get insanely sweaty and it's super annoying 😑😑

[@wong88888]

wow by far the best explanation of Crow pose I've seen. thank you

Omg, tried the first tip before the end of the video, and for the first time ever I did the crow pose. Thank you very much

So glad it helped! 🥳

[@mandydavis1795]

I was a yoga practitioner for over 10 years until it became my downfall and I suffer injuries including frozen shoulder. Even today I notice yoga practices aren’t as safe as recommended (or yoga teachers do not learn the importance of mobility and the human body). Yoga itself was purely for men to do to limber the body for meditation and not for the way it is used today without the education behind the human body. Liv is only teacher one besides youtube channels such as flow motion fitness and human 2.0 channels that explores the physical body. I have learnt more with the channels above (including having control over my arthritis again) than any yoga teacher gives. All yoga teachers and practitioners would benefit from anatomy and mobility hence why I follow you Liv. It is so important in order for people to not get injured. For all beginners and more advanced yogis alike most of the famous Yoga teachers have suffered injuries and/or had surgeries for joints and ligament tears. I don’t practice yoga now as use kettlebells for core stability and mobility workouts but always check out Liv’s channel for extras that I find important for me. I have recommended your channel Liv to many. Thankyou

[@Livinleggings]

Thank you so much Mandy!

[@Lyriath]

I'm training for crow but I got stuck (I fell after 2s or so) gonna pay attention to those tips to see if I can get better again. Thanks a lot!

[@haccpman]

Great explanation.

[@Yogalover]

Thank you

[@KG9551]

I appreciate this video. I have been able to do all kinds of advanced arm balances, handstands, headstands… but my crow pose SUCKS 😂 It’s mostly fear, I hurt my wrist pretty badly one time and I just kind of gave up on it. This has inspired me to try again and review where I can make some fixes. Thanks!

[@hannahmitchell87]

Had to come back to tell you you're amazing! I've just held crow for the longest time yet!! Couldn't have done it without your tips. Buzzing!!! Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@Livinleggings]

Yay way to go!!

[@mineralt]

Great vid…thank you

[@CR24-proud]

I can either hold the crow for a minute, or sometimes can't even stack myself up my elbows. So this video explains a lot of my whys. Thank you so much Liv!

[@karinekmk9293]

Crow is my nemesis (but I can easily do side crow and EPK2 !) bc I ' m fearing of face planting (I tried the cushion technique, didn't help enough), and I never know how wide my hands should be from each other. I will replay this vid again and again when I'm on the mat. Thank you Liv !!

[@TheOceanYoga]

Hey! your hands should be shoulder width. Hope this helps! Keep at it😀

[@karinekmk9293]

@@TheOceanYoga thank you, I will try crow again ASAP, placing my hands shoulder width apart !☺️

[@Jazz-and-Coffee]

Also: go ahead and TIP FOREWORD on to that cushion or rolled blanket 2 or 3 times. You will see that the top of your forehead gently touches the ground (usually) and you learn “it’s no big deal” and there is no “face plant”. That’s how I eliminated my fear and now can balance.

[@karinekmk9293]

@@Jazz-and-Coffee I tried again crow since Liv released this video ; I'm terribly afraid of face plant and can't keep my feet lifted more than 2-3 seconds🤐 I can do side crow without problem (my ear almost touches the floor), same for EPK1 and EPK2 and my face is also very close to the floor but it doesn't bother me (I'm also working on falling angel), but regular crow remains a mystery🤔

[@REGINLEIIF]

Love how tried to let your comical tiny scale look huge 😂 great video and I agree, crow pose is not the easiest or most beginner-friendly armbalance (it's definitely the best for practicing balancing and building arm strength in my opinion)

[@philstx191]

Thank you i will try …. another time

The Placement of the knee make the skin above my elbow hurt a looooot Hope u do a video explaining king pigeon I practice it almost 2 year now but still can’t turn my arm Thx for this video 🤍🌻

[@GrnXnham]

Been doing yoga for 3 years now (I'm 53) and the arm balances are my favorite. IMHO, the EASIEST arm balance is not crow, it's SIDE crow. A shoulder stand is easier than side crow but I'm not sure that I would classify a shoulder stand as an arm balance. Side crow was the first arm balance that I mastered. It took me longer to master crow. I think this is because resting your thigh and hip on the back of your arms is a more solid foundation than resting your knees on the backs of your arms. IOW, there is less of a chance of slippage with side crow. With crow, I used to place my knees just above my elbows. But when I advanced to one legged (flying) crow, I found that to be too painful and I now move my knees closer to my armpits for more comfort.

[@donjean6590]

Cirrently work on the frog stand in my calisthenics. This is how I ended up here. Can you explain the difference between Crow and Frog stand. I ask because in all the guide for frog you tuck your knees on the side of the elbows. I see many crow pose photos in this same position.

[@Livinleggings]

I'm afraid I'm not calisthenics trained so not sure the technique for frog! sorry!

[@donjean6590]

@@Livinleggings thank you for the quick reply. I'll work on Crow to start and then transition out to Frog. Seems a more begginer safe path to me.

[@lar5348]

I once heard there was a way to rest/balance my forehead on a yoga block then practice lifting it up to get used to the balancing of the scale so to speak? is this true or helpful or just keep using the cushion and crash and burn attempts? thx

[@Laura-of6ji]

I do this and found it helped a lot, prefer blocks to a cushion as if I tip forward I’m resting on blocks rather than collapsed on the floor and can sometimes manage to push and tip myself back into crow again

[@OnyxIdol]

I have never seen the knees put on the upper arms, I only know it with lower legs on upper arms

[@jo-annewilkinson5663]

[@AmethystWynter]

I know for my practice…knees close to my armpits works a lot better. For me…knees on elbow is too painful.
