When making videos for this blog I always gravitated toward recording myself silently doing yoga and then in editing, going in and recording the instructions and now I know why. Speaking while doing the poses is hard! I forgot a couple things but after five takes I was spent, so I'll add the things I wanted to say below. Hope this helps!!
​side crow with hips on both triceps
There are a couple different ways to do side crow pose. The first is to balance on both of the triceps as shown above. ​

Another way is to balance on one tricep as shown above via my instagram.​
This video is a how to on the second way. I prefer this way to the first because I think it challenges you to use the core and upper arm strength more. But that's just my humble opinion. :) ​
A couple things I wanted to mention: ​
-Spread your toes once you're up. This will tell the leg muscles they need to work rather than just hang out up there. ​
-Push into mostly the thumb and first fingers.​
-Envision a pushing down motion from the armpits down, and a lifting motion in the rest of your body.​
-BREATHE!​
