Namaste, friends!

Today's word is बक. It's pronounced like the word "buck" in English and means crane! You see this word used in combination with असन (asana, or pose) to make बकासन, or crane pose. You'll often hear this pose called crow pose as well, which can also be correct (though the Sanskrit would be काकासन (kahk-ahsun)). Some schools of yoga make a difference between having your arms bent (crow) and straight (crane) in this arm balance pose.
A nice tip for beginners is to place a block a few feet in front of you before coming into the pose. This will allow you to gently place the crown of your head on the block to help make crane/crow pose easier.
You've got another Sanskrit word under your belt! For tips on learning how to read and write in Sanskrit in its native script, read my post here.
Thank you! Until next week.
