Learn the basic principles of arm balancing through this simple sequence that leads up to crow pose.
There is a common misconception that arm balancing and inversions (http://www.sonima.com/yoga/inversions/?utm_source=huffingtonpost&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=site) rely solely on upper body strength, when in reality, these postures mostly rely upon linking breath, gaze, and the bandhas (http://www.sonima.com/yoga/uddiyana-bandha/?utm_source=huffingtonpost&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=site), or locks, which give the body lift and direction. In this short sequence with Jai Sugrim, a New York City-based yoga instructor, you'll experience some basic principles of finding lift in the postures through eka hasta bhujasana, a one legged arm balance, and build slowly up to crow pose (http://www.sonima.com/yoga/crow-pose/?utm_source=huffingtonpost&utm_medium=syndication&utm_campaign=site). If it doesn't feel easy right away, don't worry! These postures are about consistent practice and dedication.
