ARM BALANCE: PEACOCK AND SWAN, Mayurasana

Mayurasana

Mayurasana, also known as Peacock Pose, an advanced yoga arm-balancing posture. The practitioner lifts the entire body parallel to the ground using only the strength of the arms and core, with elbows pressing into the abdomen for support. The pose demonstrates high levels of strength, balance, and concentration, typically practiced in advanced Hatha Yoga. It is often used to improve core stability, upper body strength, and internal organ stimulation.
