Peacock

How To

Start kneeling on the floor with the knees wide. Sit on your heels and tuck your toes under.

Bring the elbows together in front of the chest. The elbows should line up somewhere around the ribs and the upper belly. Squeeze the arms together. Lean forward and place both hands down on the ground fingers facing you.

Create a shelf for the body by bending the arms and sending the chest forward. Keep the chest up. Walk the legs back slightly. Press into the palms and lift the knees off the ground.

Extend the legs and hold for 10 seconds. Gradually increasing as you gain experience.

Tips

Engage your core

Engaging your core is essential for maintaining balance and control in the Peacock pose. Focus on drawing your navel towards your spine and keeping your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the exercise.

Place your elbows into your abdomen

As you begin to lift your legs off the ground, place your elbows into your abdomen to create a stable base for your body. Keep your elbows close to your sides and your forearms parallel to each other.

Engage your shoulders

Strong, stable shoulders are essential for performing the Peacock pose safely and effectively. Focus on engaging your shoulders and keeping them away from your ears throughout the exercise.
