Last post on intrinsic muscles of the hand. Bakasana - Crow pose. I’m practicing this pose on my finger tips. Challenging yes. Impossible obviously not. Hand strength is an important component to longevity and health span. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. “I teach Modern Yoga Asana”. What does that mean? Anatomy driven and the physiological response to movement. Essentially moving bones. Yes the breath is key as well as the Bandhas. Tomorrow’s post will be about the navel lock.
