Benefits of the Crane Pose: Opens the groin and stretches the upper back. The abdominal organs and muscles become stronger. Partners can help you find balance. Try Bakasana at home and let us know what you think in the comments below! 

- Start in a squat with your feet apart and knees wider than hips;
- As if you were moving into Downward Dog, put your hands flat in front of you on the floor, fingers spread;
- Firm your wrists and hands and start to move your body weight off of your feet and into your hands;
- Elbows bent, raise your hips. Put your knees on the back of your upper arms or squeeze the outer upper arms with your knees;
- Keep the knees and elbows in line with the rest of your body;
- Using your abs, move your upper back up;
- Move your weight forward onto your elbows and bend the wrists close to 90 degrees;
- Let your chest move forward and let one foot up at a time. Bring heels and feet together;
- Hold for 30 seconds and move back up into a squat.

Modifications: It might be difficult for you to move into crow as a beginner. If so, use a block to help you squat and move into the pose.
