    Anmol,
    Is this pose specific to Kundalini Yoga? The crow pose that I am familiar with (Bakasana) is an arm balance.

    Dear Maheta,
    1. Can you please elaborate on the finger positions more? (eg- does the palms touch each other or not? coz i know there’s a similar mudra where only the tips of the index fingers are touching and palms don’t touch – and this mudra is the ‘large intestine’ mudra.)

    2. When doing the full proper pose with breath of fire, does the spine is totally erect, or slighly bent? (coz in your picture illustrations, when on heels the back is bent, and when on toes the back is straight)

    3, Is the pirinium (anus) is relaxed or pulled in?

    4. can’t we keep the mind on the root chakra instead of focusing above the fingers (with eyes closed preferably)?
