Mat Matters, Episode 63: Eka Pada Bakasana B

This one is for all my fellow arm balance lovers out there (I see you!). It's a not-often taught (at least, not in my experience of vinyasa classes) one-legged crow variation that hails from Ashtanga. 

I find this pose to be MUCH easier than Eka Pada Bakasana A (the one that is taught more often), and I hope you do, too. Give it a try--but be sure that you've spent some time opening up your hips and hammies before doing so!

You can watch here or on my YouTube channel, where you'll find lots more videos + can subscribe so that you never miss an episode.
