How to Do the Perfect Flying Crow (Eka Pada Galavasana) - Complete Guide
Want to master Flying Crow — the complex arm balance that combines strength, balance, and sophisticated hip opening? You're in the right place.
Perfect Flying Crow (Eka Pada Galavasana) Technique
Flying Crow (Eka Pada Galavasana) is a sophisticated arm balance that combines the foundation of Crow Pose with the complexity of hip opening and leg extension. Named after the sage Galava, this pose requires significant upper body strength, hip flexibility, and advanced balance skills. The asymmetrical nature of the pose creates unique challenges as you balance with one leg folded and one leg extended. ChAIron's AI coaching provides precise feedback for this intricate pose that demands both strength and flexibility.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Crow Foundation:Start in Crow Pose with knees on upper arms
- Right Leg Position:Hook right shin deeply behind right upper arm
- Left Leg Extend:Slowly extend left leg straight back and up
- Balance Adjustment:Shift weight to accommodate leg extension
- Full Expression:Straighten left leg fully, creating flying appearance
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Attempting without solid Crow Pose foundation
- Not hooking shin deeply enough on supporting arm
- Extending leg too quickly without balance control
- Placing hands too close together or asymmetrically
