I struggle with arm balances in general -- mostly total fear of face-planting. I've watched countless other "How to do crow" videos with no luck. Something clicked with this one, however, and yesterday, I actually got my feet off the floor for the first time ever. Not for long -- maybe 2-3 seconds, but that's 2-3 seconds longer than I've ever managed before! Thank you! Looking forward to trying some of your other "how to" videos!

[@tammyputhoff9786]

This instruction made ALL the difference! I was struggling with Crow Poses and now it all makes sense. Thank you! Thank you!

[@kerry4811]

I did my first few crow poses today thanks to your tutorial. Thank you for being thorough. I don’t even do yoga haha. I will remember this day!

[@stateless13]

I’ve been practicing yoga for years and this practice is still challenging enough to not be boring. Thanks for such a great flow.

[@katherineelizabethyates5807]

Oh my god I did it in 5 minutes I love you!!!! I went from thinking that it would take a while just to get over the fear, to thinking it would take a while to get the strength just to pick up one foot off the floor, to just doing it with you (and a couple of blocks and a big cushion for reassurance...) but I did it like right now!!!! I held it for 2 seconds but feel positive enough about it to practise it again tomorrow now :) thank you so much.

[@judybrookes9211]

I’m trying! Older dog learning a new trick- I’m 65 and determined to do the crow pose. Not a newbie to fitness but after many back surgeries, I’m learning my New Fitness. I’m coming back to this one daily!

[@sitara0925]

Beautifully explained and excellent explanation of the right balance needed. You truly looked like you were about to fly :)

[@elisebosmyr8680]

THANK you! So good instructions and advice! :)

[@alirezaheydari4368]

The best way that anybody can explain❤️

[@victoriagadd6831]

Great instruction. Thank you. I know where I am failing now :)

[@takingflight7656]

Ahhhh! I did it! (And I have spaghetti noodle arms! Lol) it was only about 4 seconds but I did the thing! I had watched a few other tutorial videos in this one was by far the most helpful for me! Thank you!

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

Love the explanation to practice it better and better. Thank you! 😊

[@sitara0925]

So beautifully explained. You make it look effortless…..you truly look like you’re flying :)

[@skiatauli]

With all these animals added together - early in the video brought a chuckle. Thank you for the beautiful lesson.

[@rithulmadhavamSD]

Thank you ! I need more tutorials to cutt my limitations and your a best coach! Thank you

[@roblefort4813]

Perfect explanation, concise, clear, beautifully demonstrated🤩

[@katykat6645]

This helped so much, I was bending my arms too much previously. I was able to hold it for a few seconds. Thank you!!

[@susancampanelli4245]

Best explanation ever! I’m amazed that you can speak so clearly without stopping and be in crow pose at the same time!

[@benedettazenari7781]

Loved this practice! Thank you for the special guests appearance at the end of it ❤

[@violawang8172]

Best tutorial! I was able to do it! Thank you so much!

[@jpcycleservices3810]

I’ve been struggling with crow pose for a while,and just watching this once, and I’ve cracked it. Brilliant explanation 😊

[@abab9622]

You are so talented! Wonderful explanation! 🙏🏾

[@judyschaibly2000]

I have been working on this pose for a while and your video made me get it in seconds. I didn't hold it for long but it was there.

[@cathywiser6911]

That was brilliant I finally managed following your instruction for a few seconds only but I've never even been close before😊

[@jttachyon]

You are so great at teaching this! Thank you!

[@therealmrbean2874]

Thank you sooooo much for this! Eluded me embarrassingly ever time I try and give up...... Your fab instruction really helped, particularly the squeezing knees together tip. I just managed 2 x 5 second holds and my nose is still in tact 😆

[@rickypartridge230]

Amazing! I teach a class for colleagues at work and we tried Crow for the first time today, I hadn't planned on teaching it today but we brought it in as a bit of play time. My cues could have been so much better so I found this, you're so on the ball 🏈🤘🏼

[@brendaolimires]

I love the way she explained the details of the movement!!!! I felt very inspired

[@elena27pavel]

Very helpful! Thank you for this tutorial! 🤗

[@streetviewgoogle4227]

Amazing, will try it out for sure, thankyou so much

[@danielamitterlehner]

Great tutorial! ❤ First time that I really understood how to crow and it worked immediately. ❤❤❤

[@JimRooney]

I love your style of teaching! I'm new to teaching myself and look to your videos as an example of what to focus on and how to convey it to students. I was teaching Crow today, so I wound up here and incorporated some of your tips into my class. At the end, I had a student let me know that in his 10+ years of practicing, he'd never achieved crow pose... until today. Thank you.

[@ElizabethSomething]

literally thought I would never be able to this, spent months struggling. Watched 3 minutes of this video and listened to the explanations and got it. Thank you su much

[@astronomandreda5850]

I just broke my nose

[@Rojo731]

I have attempted this. Fortunately, I put a pillow under my face first to alleviate the fear of the unknown feeling, and inevitable face pant! I held it for approximately 1.2 seconds ha ha ha I never thought of using the block, so that is going to be my next attempt! Great tip!

[@user-mf2xu6sz6b]

Excellent video, answered all my questions on crow ️

[@vidushidhingra6793]

Thank you! Instructions are clear and 100% work! I’ve been out of practice for almost 1.5 years and was struggling to do this pose but your instructions helped! Thanks alot❤

[@lindachurchill17]

Thank you I'm going to practice this

[@jeetjoshi9707]

A very nice and easy to understand explanation, helpful!!

[@leeannkearns2273]

Great explanation. Thanks.

[@ShawnMarieMcKinley]

Love this!! Thank you

[@esmeegloria]

Such a lovely video❤️ I did it first time into the video🤗🤗🤗

[@rachelsaywhat]

I just watched your video and could do the crow position and hold it for 10 seconds. I have no experience whatsoever and just started doing yoga (2 weeks now), but the courses I bought don't mention the correct position of the hands or the arms. Thank you so much, I'm very happy right now! I subscribed and am looking forward learning more!

[@michelleayala5512]

This helped sooooo much !!!! Thank you

[@alirezaheydari4368]

Thank you for the tutorials

[@laurenbelfoy5103]

Also thanks for the pillow tip haha saved my from a broken nose maybe

[@querqa]

Thank you for this, I'm struggling with crown pose long time 😂 I'll practice every day 😊

[@mellow177]

You are bloody brilliant. My favourite online teacher. Your instruction is so clear and concise. I have recommended you to soo many people because you really are such an incredible teacher and you've helped me not only in my own practice but also in my teaching in terms of use of instruction because elike the end of this video I can get a bit tongue tied at times haha thank you so much Liv ❤️

[@kimjacobs3779]

What Mellory said! 100% agree!

[@unharmony]

Amazing!

[@scottmayhew2227]

I really find the excellent explanations to be very helpful. Thank you for your attention to a great explanation.

I was definitely splatty posing before I watched this. Thanks a lot!

[@milliefalle8735]

Thank you

[@RaWilder]

Glad i found your channel - great way to learn Crow Crows 🤣

[@vivektulja4516]

The tip about resting your head on a block was very useful. I have tried this pose without it, and fell over and knocked myself out :-)

[@jimkettle4487]

Incredible tutorial. I'm not into yoga but it looked like fun to try. Your teaching method is brilliant. My very 1st try I held for 3 seconds, followed immediately by a 10 sec hold, then a 6 sec hold. It's a strong workout, after I catch my breath and have a cuppa I'll try again. As a 62 year old, it's fun. I'll give myself a while to perfect it then I'll try some of your other tutorials.

[@callmesupreme1533]

Video helped alot

[@megshush]

Thank you for these tutorials! I’ve been trying to understand and crow for years now, and I usually get discouraged, but the way that you explained it helped a lot. Now I just have to toughen up my arms, they get bruised from my knees!

[@Livinleggings]

I'm really glad it helped! The arms definitely don't enjoy it to begin with but they toughen up with time.

[@jerryroy9994]

i know im randomly asking but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me

You're so cute and this video was so helpful!

[@silveryung6414]

Thank you for the tutorial💗I’ve tried those tips however my hip dropped behind once I tried to lift the feet up. Otherwise, I fall forward instead of palm fall only. Do you have any suggestions? Thankyou!

[@shivamanand6112]

WOW i thought its a lack of strength preventing me. but shits all balance. the knee gripping together facing forward and what do you know balance works :) Thanks!

[@user-pe7dn8wc4h]

Great video for crow! Do you have a video for Flying Pigeon?

[@smitamistry9041]

Wow I tried and your tricks helped me … thanks But I can’t hold the pose for longer time … any trick for that?

[@emilyvenus2193]

this was super helpful, i finally managed to hold crow pose! But I do have a question - your hips are a lot higher than mine when elevated, does this just come with practise or is there something I'm not doing correctly? I lay almost horizontal wheres as youre more vertical

[@Winter0263]

helped me so fucking much. thank you

[@ashlynnerae2437]

Hi I have really weak arms..what could I do to improve the strength in my arms while working up to this?

[@staticoverplastic7456]

hi, is it ok if my arms are on the outside of my elbows and not directly behind them?

[@user-de7du3bl6v]

Whats is the name of yoga

[@sheyshey1306]

Smallening should be a word because it just makes sense 😇

[@jeannedrayer7275]

How do you protect your wrists.?

[@julisalamora]

Im trying real hard to achieve this right now... Still no success. Im using pillows but somehow still am frightened of falling or my weak arms failing. Everytime i try i can help but to collapse. Any tips for weak begginers please?

[@jessicagalyon5840]

I just can’t get this one. But I’ve only been trying for 3 days

[@giuliacancemi6705]

Hi Liv, thank you for this tutorial, it's very clear! As a beginner, I just can't understand how to keep my knees stable on my arms. They keep wobbling out of place and I don't know how to deal with this problem...any tips?

[@Livinleggings]

Im glad it helped! The legs can wobble out of place when we lack strength within the inner thighs and core to be able to hold them steady! So with time and practice its most likely the wobble will become steadier but really try to focus on squeezing the thighs in towards each other to help!

[@giuliacancemi6705]

@@Livinleggings Thank you so much, I'll definitely work on it!🥰

[@Nat-zx7jk]

My knees keep sliding off my tris and my wrist hurt so much am I doing something wrong?

[@TheBorderSisters]

Is it supposed to hurt the skin where the knees touch the arms? Anyone have tips for this? Don't know if I'm doing it wrong or it's just part of the move 😅

[@imamomwifedaughter]

I still after years either fall forward or back, just cant find that balance.

[@daylestevens50]

Ouch wrists! Modifications for this?

[@semperfidelification]

Arms in Crow are bent close to 90 degrees .. Crane has the straighter arms your showing and a lot harder. In Crow start with your knees in the armpits and shift forward to find your balance and learn what yoga hand lock is if you want to save your wrists.

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

Thank you, I was trying to find anyone talking about how to avoid hurting the wrists and no-one mentions it. I'll look into what hand lock is.

[@semperfidelification]

@@user-et3xn2jm1u In sanskrit, the language of Yoga it's called hasta bhanda or hand lock in English. And I agree it should be discussed in every yoga class

[@magentamagenta1274]

She did discuss it and she explained how to position your hands.

[@lilacdratini]

The first time I tried this I almost broke my wrists it felt like 😳

[@linnynewby]

I do some kind of balance, and i can hold that for a while, BUT my arms feel too bent....

My knees slip please i have tried everything 😢

[@sativares]

What's this good for?

[@woodyfields6041]

compare crow and crane !

[@rinkuhero]

great tutorial! i will try it. also, forgive me if this is rude, but i couldn't tell if you are an extremely young looking 60 year old with white hair, or a 20 or 30 year old with prematurely white hair (or dyed white hair). not that that matters at all, it was just that i couldn't figure out which it was, it was an interesting mysterious ambivalence to this video.

[@Livinleggings]

😂 it’s bleached and dyed! And I’m 33!

[@billsuevinton7573]

@@Livinleggings Don't worry about that comment! You don't begin to look 60 in any way whatsoever!!!

Tried it but think I'm still too bottom heavy. Going to practice again tomorrow with the block

[@Livinleggings]

Hope the block helped! It's always more of a lean forwards than you think. Up and forwards not forwards and down 💪🏼 Good luck!

[@lilianflynn1876]

I mastered crow pose but now 18 months after stroke I can't do it 😢😢😢

[@laurenbelfoy5103]

I sort of managed this but it hurt my wrists like a MFer. I have really good core strength but I still think this requires a minimum amount of arm strength that I do not have 😢
