Side Crow (Preparation)

STEPS : Come into a toe stand position on your mat, with your knees bent and your heels off the floor, and twist toward one side Place both hands flat on your mat about shoulder-distance apart, with your opposite-side tricep as high as possible on your outer thigh. Lean forward and begin to bend your elbows. Let this movement tip your shoulders down and your hips up. Try to keep your shoulders relatively even. While gazing slightly forward, point your toes to lift your feet off the ground. Pull your heels to your glutes to engage your hamstrings.
