Pincha Mayurasana Preparations and Variations
Today, we will focus on improving upper arm and shoulder mobility as we progress towards Pincha Mayurasana. In order to achieve this, it is important to establish and maintain stability.
Pincha Mayurasana is an inversion and a beginner-level backbend. It will help you develop the ability to see things from a different perspective. As you practice, try using alternate legs to kick up. With time, this will become easier as your body and brain become more familiar with the movements.
If you have any shoulder impingement, take it slow and focus on warming up with opening preparations at your own pace.
