[@nottheone582]

[@NorikoWhittaker]

I've practiced this pose following this video for over one week. Now I can do the nice easy version. I will continue to practice it aiming for the full version! Thanks, Kino, for making this video!

[@carlasanders4873]

thank for breaking down the muscle groups directly activated by the pose, that's actually what got to finally get comfortable with this position

[@amberkendle656]

Kino ..I love your videos and your spirit. Thank you so much for making these and breaking down the poses so Well...encouraging people to start where they are at not look for perfection but to keep practicing. I don't have access to a studio and your videos have helped me get over slumps more times than I can tell you. You are beautiful and inspiring.

[@MrKellylem]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU KINO!!! You are SUCH a phenomenal teacher!!! You explain things quickly and completely, and I am able to achieve postures I haven't been able to before!

[@rosisunny9302]

K Lem Are you ku ku she is a miserabel one!Nobody can fallow as a Beginner!Whats your Thing??She is not a Teacher!

[@kellismantrayoga6893]

Thank you Kino. This video was incredibly helpful, particularly in reference to the muscle descriptions. It can be hard to find videos that not only show you how to enter the posture, but specifically which muscles are needed to do so. I've been practicing for over 5 years and because of this quick tutorial I know see Bakasana in a whole new light! xo

[@KawaiiLilly4eva]

One of the best tutorials, I did it on my first go but only for a few seconds I just need to keep practising to get my balance right :) thanks!

[@kaynaleemendozatrujillo4261]

Best tutorial of crow pose I have seen! :) thank you!! I am able to hold bakasana for 15 seconds now but watching this video, I have improved getting into the pose :) yay!

[@alexscopino7719]

Thank you for this explanation! I’ve only been practicing yoga for three weeks now and this is one of the poses I’ve really wanted to figure out! Great explanation!

[@tessareis]

I admire people how can not only do this, but do this and keep talking! You're my inspiration for hereafter :)

[@leng9693]

Thx Kino. I just did under your instructions. So thrilled!!!

Perfection of yoga coach.

[@dymonddave4376]

You make it look so easy, your so strong through out your body.

[@Gayanega]

Oh, you are gorgeous!!! Best yoga teacher for starters. Thank you very much

[@ChlupataVidea]

It is awesome & helpful, but as a feedback: it would be really helpful if you talked a tiny bit slower, especially when it comes to the muscle groups and which muscles should be tightened etc. it is sometimes difficult to follow when it is said that fast. other than that, great and helpful, thank you. I love your videos

[@zcastilloblanco2539]

OMG KINOOOOO! I got it at first try! Love and appreciate all your tutorials, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.

[@stephaniemauler5783]

[@tjona001943]

First, I thank you for sharing your expertise. I grasped a lot from the visual. However, I did have difficulty with audio and could not make out the audible instructions. I plan to watch again and listen with ear phones. Perhaps then I will receive your excellent instructions. Thanks again for your vids.

[@KatiaVassi]

Really helpful, thank you

[@mamtachauhan873]

Thank you very much it was very helpful and I got it btw

[@fitchick5492]

Great deep explanation with muscles. Thx for that. I just find my triceps are hurting me so much it's stopping me from balancing on one foot. Would the pain get better with practice? Does anyone experienced the same?

[@mildredflores7062]

I felt on my face is my first time doing it. I'll try so many times to learn this position.

[@jdthakid2]

great video, thank you

[@fit4life660]

Thank you! You're awesome!

[@rheajoynavales4371]

I did it! for 5 seconds.. thank you for the tips!! :D

[@dharmaram7527]

Thanks Kino!

[@rebekahb5275]

Kinos the best💕

[@esolefl]

The universe is surely with you. I do adore your coordination of your body.

[@KinoYoga]

thanks :)

[@Nicolevalladaresd]

is the reason i have a lot of trouble doing this is because of my weak arms?

[@celestemoore3959]

Kino, I wonder if I could ever gain even 30% more flexibility: #1, I have a metal plate around one kneecap; #2, I'm almost 51, #3, I've never practiced yoga. I become misty when I reflect on my youth as a cheerleader. I can vividly recall the positions I could once easily transition into, but it seems so impossible to reenact. I know that yoga would be a better exercise for my joints than using weight training method. MY body is beginning to feel the repercussions from the 1997 auto accident, WHERE even getting out of bed seems much more challenging as I age. The past shoulder, hip & pelvis fractures now make themselves known; whereas, I hardly had any noticeable discomforts in my younger years. I just wonder are my days of agility gone .....can I regain my flexibility? Watching your videos make me yearn for greater movement. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@KinoYoga]

Celeste Moore You can definitely gain more flexibility and work towards healing your body and calming the mind with daily yoga practice. But remember that yoga is an inner journey that places spiritual realization as its top goal. Keep practicing and you will experience a deep and perhaps profound inner peace and experience physical healing along the way.

[@corneliaomir]

Hello! Any tips on where should I gaze? to the front or to the back (between my legs) ? thanks for the great tutorial!

[@fox80217]

Really thank you. I got the crow pose from the video

[@KinoYoga]

Awesome! Keep practicing :)

[@Ayurvedabylina]

very nice thanks

[@97yady]

Thank You! now I can do the Bakasana :)

[@highblueceiling]

She's so gorgeous and fit!!

[@FitEvie]

This is great

[@waffa008]

Hi Kino. How do you position your fingers? spread them really wide? or do a little grip? or both? Thankyou so much! I love your videos

[@KinoYoga]

waffa008 Check out my other videos on wrist strengthen and positioning for exact details.

[@Th0ma5100]

you have great strength and balance! what do u recommend to start this if i am a beginner?

[@KinoYoga]

Thomas Spratt You can definitely try Bakasana as a Beginner. Start off with the Sun Salutations too and check out my Beginners playlist.

[@Th0ma5100]

okay thanks!

[@user-cn1yn3vq4h]

you certainly know your anatomy 👌❤👍 love it!

[@kroxxy123]

I got up to 5 seconds. My best yet ☺️

[@kittyzhang2403]

Hi kino, great video. I don't understand the part about the pec muscle and not to let collarbones collapse forward. It looks like you are using a hollow body position with a slightly rounded upper back so aren't your collarbones "collapsed" (but not shrugged) with the activation of the serratus anterior? I'd really appreciate it if you can explain what you mean. 😃

[@KinoYoga]

Hi Kitty. If the collar bones collapse, the shoulders will push forward into a v-shape, which puts pressure at the shoulder joints and sternum. This isn’t safe. If you’d like more personal instruction or more in-depth instruction, I invite you to join a workshop or live class where you can ask questions. Details on my website at www.kinoyoga.com

[@SatyaPrakash61229]

Good one. Please remove echo from your audio.

[@himanshusci]

Yoga se hi sab kuch hoga योगा से ही सब कुछ होगा

[@4p4k]

You make it look so easy!!! I managed to hold it but don’t your triceps hurt when your knees dig into them? Am I doing something wrong?

[@KinoYoga]

Lift your body off your arms with your core

[@zhoopy]

Namaste!

[@randomperson8725]

thanks now I could empress my family

[@aleahhawkins7669]

I fell on my face

[@kristinakubijan]

me too:)

[@amberi1992]

When you do the posture, you should keep your gaze a little bit forward, and you won't fall on your face. Maybe you'll fall forward but at least you'll keep your face from bruising :)

[@AhsanKhan-pd3sr]

Aleah Hawkins happy face flat bro

[@noneya9035]

I welcome falling on my face...here's why. If I pretty much know I'm going to fall on my face during a practice then I just want it to happen so I can do the same thing I always do: stop and say "that didn't hurt. I'm gonna try that again."

[@addy444]

Me too

[@RazorSweet]

Hi Kino, I've been watching several of your yoga videos and wondered if you'd recommend me doing yoga, even though I have internal bruised wrists (thanks to softball, which is already 4 years ago), which also mean they're quite weak and can't support much..

[@CRiZYxo]

ive had problems with my wrists and joints and I turned to yoga. It has improved but I still feel it every now and then. Take it slow and you'll feel a difference :)

[@suyog91]

Hey Kino, Thanks for this video now its more than a week I have tried both Bakasana and Kakasana. In both the asanas I cant raise my knees beyond one level towards my arm pit. Is it because of my belly? Thanks in advance.

[@ashoksony146]

U r do the posture so great...👍

[@safety32729]

What's the best way to strengthen the arms and core? Should we weight lift while preparing for yoga? I'm a complete beginner with no muscle lol

[@Bhanupriya73]

I have practiced this posture but every time I do it, my arms especially my triceps hurt a lot due to the pressure put up by knees.. is it OK to feel that pain? what should I do?

[@vanessacardui8487]

i still cant do it. its been a while now. i think am doing sumthn wrong. i think im engaging my leg muscles in th process, ?

[@ceciliarubino4961]

I

[@Lollipop256]

How do you avoid straining your wrists in this pose? My poor wrists hurt like crazy when practicing this pose.

[@Bayo106]

spread and engage the fingers don't let the weight fall into the wrist

[@kamhyde40]

Build up the musculature of your core and your shoulder girdle, which will give you the lift you need to lessen the weight falling into the wrists. Also do warm up for the wrists , stretching and strengthening before and after you do arm balances.

[@127Aditya]

Hey there! I fractured my wrist in 2008. It's been a long time but I can still feel the effect whenever I try to do a yoga which involves putting my body weight on the wrist(right only). Would you suggest continuing the practice to develop strength gradually or should I stop doing it?

[@KinoYoga]

Do some physical therapy and slowly build up strength.

[@127Aditya]

Could you suggest any Yogasana from which I could start?

[@KinoYoga]

Well I have some tutorials on my channel that focus on wrist strengthen you could start there :)

[@127Aditya]

+KinoYoga Found them. Thanks a lot. :)

[@kamhyde40]

So I guess when we tilt the pelvis we do not 'butt squeeze' ? Is that correct?

[@placebiak]

oh my god.... YOUR HAIR..... i mean... HOW !!!!:????? so so so GORGEOUS!

[@SuperLiviloo]

This made my face find out about gravity

[@candisleisymichlova5850]

wow thank you your video help me:)

[@frankiedonofrio5438]

is it normal to feel like I am going to flip over? got nervous and put a pillow in front, just in case.

[@essenchial]

To mahdi kholfi - listening is an art of perception

[@khodaresantorkmani4112]

Nice

[@soulfulcrooner]

I concur with Monberg: please slow down. Also, use a body mic to improve voice quality. Otherwise, excellent.

[@lacuentadevideos]

The secret to get to crow is to put your hands as wide as your mat minimum, then you can start to perfect it. try to put your toes together This way your legs would cross your arms . otherwise if your arms and legs are paralel it would be much difficult , they would slip down if you do not have enough strenght

[@leidycruz7409]

beauty!! i try with my English... i try to understand You ... i'd love that You speak spanish! 😁😘

[@rollinstonedave6954]

Love your videos. Will you Please go more slowly ? Mostly , the view is from the side , Please turn towards the camara , to demonstrate from a second angle. The two angle demonstration will really help. Thanks :-)
