It strengthens your arms, shoulders and wrist Also improves your balance and concentration. When we see somebody doing Kakasana, the first thought that comes in our mind is, It's very difficult. How one can balance entire body weight, just on palms? Believe me I also felt same.. [Intro Music] If we follow the right technique All of us can achieve it. In Last 4 years I have taught 100's of students Majority used to think, that it is very difficult. but they surprised themselves by achieving it. All you need is an intention to learn and faith on yourself. To achieve "Kakasana" you require Arm strength, core strength and focus How you'll know whether you have enough arm strength and core strength, to try Kakasana? Answer is simple just get into "Plank". Keep your fingers wide open, wrist-shoulder in one line, core engaged just breath there. If you can hold Plank for 45 sec to 1 min, you are ready to attempt Kakasana. Here I'll also tell you the preparation for Kakasana Once you are comfortable here, just try shifting you chest forward, your weight forward and back one more time forward and back, with this you are coming on the tip of your toes, forward and back I can make you do Kakasana, in just 3 simple steps Big toes together Keep your fingers wide open and your centre finger, pointing forward Your palms, shoulder-width apart knees going to rest on the upper arm close to the armpit. This is the starting position for Kakasana. After this you have to follow just 3 simple steps. First 1. Fixing your gaze ahead of you so for me it's going to be somewhere here. make sure you are fixing your gaze ahead of you, not that far and never back. Just fix your gaze there. 2nd instruction: Lifting your hip up. So this is how you lift your hip higher that's all, so from here, gaze fixed at one point first instruction, second instruction, lift your hip up, now 3rd Instruction: You have to shift your chest forward So, this is little tricky, be careful while watching it. Gaze fixed hip up and now shifting chest forward. Shifting chest forward, so when you are shifting your chest forward you are also coming on the tip of your toes. From your toes, you are coming on the tip of your toes, carefully observe. Now following all 3 instructions, gaze fixed at one point, lifting hip up, shifting chest forward. Gaze fixed, hip up and now slowly, I'm shifting my chest forward coming on the tip of my toes and now, when I'm there my feet became light I can easily take my feet off, but go 1 by 1 First take one foot off, breath there for a while the other foot off. and relax.. Now, we'll go in the full pose fingers wide open, shoulder width apart, big toes together. Gaze fixed at one point, first instruction second: hip up third: chest forward and slowly take it off, and try breathing there. Make sure you never look back because, the moment you look back, there are chances, you may topple. So, your gaze is the key point Keep looking at one point, and get into the pose. and when you are there all the time take your heels, close to your buttocks Focus on taking, your heels close to your buttocks.
