Crane

Begin in a low squat with your knees wide. Place your hands on the floor in front of you, shoulder-width apart. Snuggle your knees high on your upper arms, resting your shins on your triceps. Rise onto your toes. Focus your gaze at one point below you, shift forward and lift your toes from the floor. Draw your feet toward your buttocks and touch your toes together. Slowly straighten your arms. Balance in the pose and take slow, deep breaths. Bend your elbows and lower with an exhale.
