ARM BALANCE: PEACOCK AND SWAN

Arm balance postures such as Peacock Pose and Swan Pose (arm balance variation) represent advanced stages of yoga practice that require a high level of physical strength, coordination, and mental focus. Peacock Pose (Mayurasana) is a classical posture in which the body is held horizontally, supported by the hands, with elbows pressing into the abdomen. This pose emphasizes upper-body strength, particularly in the wrists, forearms, and shoulders, along with strong core engagement to maintain alignment and stability.
