Parsva Bakasana or Side Crow as a posture works on many levels \u2013 both as an arm balance challenge, a core strengthener and also a detoxifying twist. The versatility of this pose also lends it to be an intermediate posture to practice.<\/p>\n

Begin in a low squat with toes together (malasana). Walk hands around to the right side until the left elbow is outside the right knee. Place palms flat onto ground. Soften the belly and twist deeper. Bend the elbows as for push-up pose (chaturanga). Bring the weight onto the hands and lift the hips, bringing the feet off the ground.
