Crow Asana (Position) in Yoga

This may be a bit self-indulgent to mention but I really love this Yoga class I'm in though it whips me good sometimes...probably using muscles I never used before or close to it.

Unbelievable, no way I did it, yes, you can see some slender men in pictures on the internet have done it but the Crow Asana, Asana I believe meaning a position one takes, absolutely unbelievable to see people around me, women do this move. Perhaps if one really practised this, like all things, they could get the hang of it. Simply amazing.

Books are out there for the muscle inclined on how to do a handstand, this is to me actually a sort of handstand. Of course, this is a totally static move. No movement.

Also, an obvious issue with this kind of position, especially this one would seem to be weight, men generally weighing more than women, generally taller, things like that though an ideal lean cyclists body might well be able to do this.

Just like it is kind of crazy to see someone like Obafemi Martins do three sommersaults when Birmingham scored that winning League Cup goal the other day versus Arsenal.

But even the woman in this photograph does has just a normal build.
