24 Poses to Christmas Day 3 - Mayurasana (Peacock Pose) Mayurasana or peacock pose is one of the oldest non seated poses coming from the two sanskrit words "mayura" meaning peacock represented by the long extended legs for its beautiful tail and "asana" meaning seat, with yoga asanas all designed to prepare us for our still seat for meditation typically padmasana (lotus 🧘🏻♂️) or ardha (half) padmasana. In fact one of my favourite variations of this pose is padma mayurasana, other than the challenges of getting into lotus pose, if this comes easily to you, then it makes peacock pose easier due to the shorter leaver length to lift. Every"body" is different, as unique amazing individuals we have different faces, and finger prints, the easy parts to see and comprehend. However we are very different on the inside too, with different brains and thinking styles, hence "difficult" people in your life may just be different people and approach things differently due to their thinking style. This is also true for skeletal structure which is so different, from bone length to degree of twist, to bone head angles to depth of joint sockets, these all have a bearing along with our fascia on the poses we find easy. This may mean a friend doing this challenge with you who has not done much yoga may get into poses you have been working trying to achieve for years. The benefits of the pose include core conditioning for a healthy back, as well as stimulating blood flow for viscera and digestition. We also get the benefit of processing and working with the emotions of fear, as the fear of falling on our faces and embarrassment are two fears we grew up with from the first time they did happen when we learnt to walk and socialise or present in public. Condraindications for the pose include ironically back pain, but also arthris (articular and rheumatoid), abnormal blood pressure, heart issues, pregnancy (pre and post partum), menstruation, and abdominal issues.
