Pincha Mayurasana

Pincha Mayurasana is an Asana. It is translated as Peacock Feather Pose from Sanskrit.

The name of this pose comes from "pincha" meaning "feather", "mayura" meaning "peacock" and "asana" meaning "posture" or "seat".

Benefits

This challenging pose has many benefits: it strengthens the arms and upper back, creates a sense of balance, stimulates blood flow to the internal organs (since it is an inversion), and strengthens the core.

cautions

  • Be careful while doing this pose if you have high blood pressure, spinal injuries, shoulder, elbow or neck injuries.
