Today I'm going to show a variation of the pose I did yesterday. This is a variation of crane or crow pose and I'll show 2 different versions of it. The Sanskrit term for this pose is parsvabakasana. But enough talk and on to the pictures.
This is the more difficult expression of the pose with one's legs straight. On a scale of 1-10, for me this pose is about a 3 or 4 difficulty level. Below is a picture of a less difficult version where the knees are bent and kept closer to the body and it's maybe a 2. Please keep in mind I'm not trying to say this is an easy thing to do, it's just how I rank it in comparison to poses that are very hard for me which I'd call 9 or 10 difficulty level.
And this picture below is how you go about getting into this pose. You crouch down with your legs and knees close together and wrap your elbow and lower tricep around the outside of your leg and ideally your tricep will rest on your Iliotibial band (IT band for short). This is a little less scary for first timers than crow pose as you don't risk falling on your face quite as much in this pose when you're learning it. I still fall out of poses all the time when I'm learning them and it's just part of the process.
You can slowly begin to play with lifting one foot and then if you're comfortable proceeding maybe lift both feet an inch or two off the ground and play around with the balance point.
Below is a picture of me doing the other side for the sake of symmetry.
For poses which can be done in two ways that are symmetrical, it's good practice to do them on both sides so your muscles strengthen equally on each side as you become more comfortable with the pose.
I'm enjoying creating this series and I have probably 8-10 more to share that I can think of offhand. Photo credit goes to my wife 
I wish you all a happy Friday and a good weekend! See you tomorrow!
