How to Do the Perfect Side Crow (Parsva Bakasana) - Complete Guide
Want to master Side Crow — the challenging arm balance that combines twisting, strength, and advanced core control? You're in the right place.
Perfect Side Crow (Parsva Bakasana) Technique
Side Crow (Parsva Bakasana) is an advanced arm balance that combines the strength requirements of Crow Pose with the complexity of a deep spinal twist. This challenging pose demands significant core strength, spinal mobility, and sophisticated balance awareness. Unlike regular Crow Pose, Side Crow requires you to balance while twisted, making it one of the most demanding arm balances. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe progression, proper weight distribution, and optimal spinal alignment to help you master this intricate pose.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Twisted Squat:Start in squat, twist deeply to right, place hands on floor
- Hook Legs:Hook both shins on right upper arm, creating stable contact
- Weight Transfer:Lean forward, shifting weight from feet to hands
- Lift Off:Engage core, lift feet off floor while maintaining twist
- Extend and Balance:Optional: straighten legs out to side for full pose
Common Mistakes to Avoid
