Ciara Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I've been taking yoga for a little more than a week (but I've done it in the past) and today in class we finished up with crow pose. Guess who held it for 5 seconds? This girl!! I've never been able to hold it for more than a brief wobbly second before. I'm so proud of myself!!! Also, in the transition from plank to cobra, I managed to lower myself down from plank with a straight back and elbows tucked in. That's also something I've struggled with before. My arms are getting stronger! Handstands, here I come!!! 7 Quote Level 2 Human Assassin STR 4| DEX 0| STA 5| CON 4| WIS 4| CHA 1My battlelogChallenge: 1, 2, 3, 4, Current Link to comment

Swampling Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 That is awesome, Ciara! I'm still working on getting to hold the crow pose. I'm not even at a wobbly second yet. 2 Quote Hobbit Challenges: 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1My shiny new "battle" log - probably more of a plodding-along log, but hey, it's mine!

Now onward to the Flying Crow Pose! I just looked up flying crow pose...holy crow! I can't wait to get that strength. Is that pose at all related to planche?

I'd assume that you could hold a Planche if you could do Flying Crow. Very similar, not that I'm even close to either. Quote Link to comment

I wonder if my yoga teacher can do flying crow. I should ask her tonight hehe. If I could do a planche, I'd die a happy lady.
