Day 7 | Core Challenge | 20 Minute Crow Flow

Hey y'all! It is DAY 7 of our CORE YOGA CHALLENGE & it's the final day! This video is a CROW FLOW! I'm going to take you through a flow that will end in getting yourself up into some version of Crow Pose, also known as Bakasana. Your goal can be to move into a modified version (with blocks), full Crow, or an advanced version (jumping from Down Dog into Crow). I tried to make it so that most of you can participate and move through the practice. Although I want you to challenge yourself, please be EXTRA care when practicing Crow, have plenty of support so that you don't hurt yourself and USE the modifications provided if you need them. Let me know what you think of this flow down in the comments and if you enjoy moving through a practice to work yourself up to a peak pose. I found this to be enjoyable and wouldn't mind doing more. Don't forget to like, share, subscribe, and share this challenge with a friend who you think might be interested. Enjoy! Peace & love.

I made it!!!!!! You’re my favorite teacher that I’ve found so far here on KZbin because some people will be like “ this practice is beginner friendly” and then go “hold a chair pose for 3 minutes”. Your insight on how to build the strength I need for crow pose was just the advice I’ve been looking for and the challenge kept me motivated. I’m so excited for the new challenge tomorrow Thank you Nico!

[@YogaWithNico]

So happy you enjoyed the challenge, Jessica! Proud of you for completing it & thanks so much for that feedback!

[@ahsiek1118]

I DID IT!!! Loved the challenge thank you so much Nico! This came right on time because I just told myself I wanted to add much more core work to my regimen. Bring on more challenges I'm down! More 15min 20min and 30+ Yoga also. Peace & Love Nico!!!!

[@YogaWithNico]

Absolutely Keisha! Proud of you for finishing it! More videos to come! 🙏🏽

[@sierrasangetti-daniels3065]

THE CROW as the big finale!!! V cool! I could not actually do the position, but still was HYPE for the potential of me getting close. Thank you for these 7 days! Can't wait to see what's next. Until then!

[@YogaWithNico]

Sierra, thanks so much for your feedback during this challenge. I'm SO glad you enjoyed it! More to come! 💛

[@Wildflower_bandit]

My body + mind have enjoyed this daily core challenge experience. My lower chakras are opening more which has been helping to support the upper chakras after a lifetime of closed off foundation from trauma. I meet enlightened abundant alignment. Thank you thank you thank you

[@pickjupiter394]

I did this challange over the course of a couple weeks as part of a larger conditioning program, and I honestly can see my obliques coming in for the first time ever 😭❣ 7 in a series is a great number, thanks Nico

[@adnaloy9025]

Thank you for this 7 day challenge! This core challenge was awesome! Challenges like these really help get me to the mat every day. ❤ I am a fairly new subscriber to your channel and I find your manner and guidance soothing in my practice. One thing that I have been working on in the last several months is balance. I'm pretty clumsy in life so balance poses are particularly difficult for me. Could you do a balance challenge (I mean mostly standing poses . I am nowhere near inverted balance poses.). Thank you again for such a strenght-building challenge! 😊

[@YogaWithNico]

I like this idea, Adna! Thanks so much for sharing that! Here’s a couple videos to get you started & I will add a balance challenge to my list of future content! 💛 Yoga for FOCUS & Balance | 20 Minute Practice | Challenging kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJiQaIZneamonKs Tips to Improve Your Balance in Yoga kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKGcfH2wbN6Yq8k

[@i.am.humble]

Thank you NiCO ! I loved this challenge. I’m Ready to start your 30 Day Challenge!

[@mimipastry]

I made it and my borderline migraine/headache feels like it’s almost gone. I was a little worried I might not make it to the mat but I did. I had never actual tried crow pose with guided steps for more than a few seconds and I’m proud of myself for trying. This was so lovely and I hope to keep building my core strength. Thank you Nico for creating this! 🌼

[@YogaWithNico]

Proud of you, Mariah 💛

[@TrapperKeeper999]

Hella fun. More challenges would be chillin. I could spend all day doing yoga w you ❤

[@namesalieas]

Man shorty, you strong. That crow pose is tough, but ima get it one of these day. Peace and love!

[@ering.3978]

I finished the challenge!! And I've never gotten into crow pose using blocks like you showed here before, but that was a good modification! Going to work on jumping into crow now, heh. 😅

[@linapetraviciute5223]

Loved it thank you. I did liked the crow pose modification. Very helpfull.

[@YogaWithNico]

You’re so welcome, Lina! I’m glad you liked it!

[@debbiemarie7771]

I did it! Can’t quite do the crow in any capacity but I can now do the lower myself all the way down into the squat. I definitely feel stronger

[@YogaWithNico]

Happy to hear that Debbie! Thank you for watching!

[@empressnairobi3027]

Thanks for the modification on how to get into crow pose using the blocks. I have wanted to learn this pose for sometime now and haven’t been able to catch it from the floor. I’m sure to practice with the blocks and will report back my success. Thanks Nico!

[@YogaWithNico]

Yes! Please let me know how it goes!

[@mimivelour8329]

Thank you! This was challenging in just the right way. My core & legs feel so good, I'll definitely be doing another round.

[@YogaWithNico]

Yay! Glad you liked it!

[@LynneChildress]

Yo, crow was HARD. Did not get it. But I will one day. Great challenge.

[@naomiy6784]

I have done this twice 🙌🏽 Feel much stronger , thank you. I would suggest a beginners inversion challenge or pre inversion preparation.

[@YogaWithNico]

I will work on those!

[@JessicaMagaqa]

Getting into the crow position was a mission but I plan on bettering my strength and returning to this practice 🤞🏽

[@YogaWithNico]

Yess! Keep going! You got it

[@draagonlavndr5829]

loved this challenge, will definitely be repeating. your videos make me feel so motivated and highly capable!! a hip focused challenge for strength and flexibility (specifically pelvic floor?) would be really nice (:

[@YogaWithNico]

I’ll add it to my list!

[@monique2338]

[@YogaWithNico]
