Nice yoga post! What's your advice for someone who is struggling with krakasana? I can do it with 1 leg, not with both legs.
Thanks in advance! :-)

Thank you! :)

It depends on how you go into krakasana. Are you jumping into it? Here are some guidelines:

Hands shoulder width apart, elbows bent
Place your knees on your upper arms and gently lower your weight onto them
Look AHEAD on your mat (and not straight down)
Gradually shift your weight forward, as if you are trying to rise from your toes
When you feel that your weight is mostly on your hands, gently lift one foot at a time.

The most important thing is to do it slowly and controlled. If you jump into it it is so much harder (and takes a lot longer) to find your balance. :)

Let me know if it helps, if not, more specifically what goes wrong.
