The contents of the Kākāsana page were merged into Bakasana on date and it now redirects there. For the contribution history and old versions of the merged article please see its history.

This image is not of Kakasana but of Utthita ekapada kaksana. It is also misleading to search engines which frequently use this site, and to individuals who may not be aware of the unmodified position. I would recommend adding or replacing with a more appropriate image.
The image is also of slight concern to me with respect to authenticity: the background is blanked with the exception of the area around the fingertips which do not show an amount of deformation which would seem to be comensurate with carrying the entire weight of a body such as that shown. This could either be due to partial support from the blanked area of the image, or due to the photo being taken with the practitioner lying on his side on the floor pressing against a wall. I am not disputing that this practitioner is capable of performing this pose – only that this particular image of it is as it purports to be. The expression on the practitioner's face is in accord with this hypothesis.

The two asanas are often used interchangeably: in the West many practitioners will use the Sanskrit term "Bakasana" (Crane Pose) and then translate it as "Crow Pose" (Kakasana). As with many yoga poses, which name is used depends on the lineage of the practitioner. A merge could sort all that out. Morganfitzp (talk) 21:38, 3 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
