Hi Matt,

When we teach child’s pose in Balance, we do it differently – with the knees wider and the arms by the head. That way the back is less rounded. A bit of gentle rounding is not a big deal if you’re not twisting or carrying weight.

Crane pose or Bakasana cannot be done with a straight spine. I haven’t taught that pose for a while, since it’s risky for those of us with typical American posture.

Heron pose or Krounchasana can be done with the spine more or less rounded. If you look at “Light on Yoga” by BKS Iyengar (1979 edition), in plate 140 he is doing the pose with a very slightly rounded spine. This could be done by someone with flexible hamstrings. In plates 141-2 his back is more rounded, and I wouldn’t recommend that for anyone concerned about the health of their spine (though he can get away with it since he was raised in a country with healthier posture, and he’s extremely flexible).

Hope that answers your question!
