Bakasana is often considered a gateway arm balance—but the traditional form may not be accessible or sustainable for everyone, especially if you’re navigating wrist or shoulder injury, limited mobility, or a different strength profile.

In this tutorial, I share the version I personally practice. It’s adapted for those who may not be able to bear full weight in the arms and for anyone more interested in exploring the inner pattern of the pose than the outer form.

This variation supports:

• Building core awareness and integrated strength

• Reducing load on the wrists and shoulders

• Engaging with Bakasana’s energetic shape in a sustainable way

Whether you’re adapting for injury, disability, or simply seeking a new relationship with the pose, this approach honors where your body is today—and reminds you that the essence of the posture is still available to you.
