Pincha Mayurasana

Feathered peacock pose!
This pose has been one of my all time favorite poses to view. I have tried for a long time to do this pose without much success. However, after countless tries and preps poses it finally happened. I was able to get up and hold the pose for a few seconds. I am still using the wall and will continue to do so until I feel ready to move to the center of the room. This pose helps me feel a sense of lightness, increased vitality, and an overall sense of happiness.
Doing elbow dog pose is what helped me the most to prep for this pose.
Thanks to Mary Sudduth, my favorite yoga teacher, I never quit trying!
Thanks Mary!
