Masaba posted her picture with the caption, "My time on the mat is sacred. And I've been trying to do this asana for two years, and here we are. Not even close to perfect but baby steps. The Bakasana (Crow or Crane Pose) for me is a lesson in confidence and overcoming fear. Trust your own strength, your core and arms and that you will not fall flat on your face. I love yoga for what it does not just do to your body but also to your mind. Happy International Yoga Day! What's the one asana you want to be able to do this year? #internationalyogaday #worldyogaday #yogi."

Bakasana or Crow Pose or Crane Pose Benefits:

Bakasana, also known as the Crow Pose or Crane Pose, strengthens arms, core, glutes, adductors and shoulder stabilisers, boosts balance, flexibility and stability, stretches the upper back and groin, makes wrists stronger, and tones the spine. Regular practise of this pose can also increase mental and physical strength.
