Bakasana: 3 EASY Steps to Crow Pose #1 Arm Balance

[@julia_fae]

Do you have any recommendations on how to strengthen the wrists besides working this pose?

Hi Julia, I'm sorry for the late reply! Yes you should do downward dogs and plank poses for the wrists, arms and shoulders (they're all connected and need some strength for this pose) but don't hold the poses for more than 1 min. Check how the wrists feel the next day and if they're fine, increase the time. If you over do it and they're really hurting/burning, run the wrist under ice cold water for 2 mins (it REALLY helps!) This pose is more about balance/weight distribution and core strength because it's the core that is actually going to lift you up so you're not weighting down on the wrists - so I advise doing my short core video to build that up and make the pose even easier:-)
