How to do the Jump into Bakasana B | Crane Pose B in Ashtanga Yoga

There’s nothing like a humbling vinyasa to keep you grounded in your practice and that’s exactly what you’ll find with this jump into Bakasana B.

In this tutorial, we’re discussing how to do the JUMP INTO BAKASANA B \ CRANE POSE B from Ashtanga’s Intermediate Series. You’ll learn the traditional vinyasa cues and Sanskrit count and see how they differ between the A and B variations. We share ways to work toward the full transition if you’re just starting out, along with common mistakes we often see and reasons why people can’t do the jump into this pose. To move through this jump properly, you’ll understand all the places to put your focus, how to shift your weight, and how to resist through your arms and fingertips. It’s a challenging vinyasa so keep these tips in mind so you can practice this jump safely!
