This class develops Mayūrāsana (Peacock Pose) as a sophisticated version of plank. We begin with reverse-hand plank: hands apart, arms steady, and drills like thigh-to-chest and one-leg lifts while maintaining a strong Danda line. The focus is on holding the shape without collapse, proving that better plank equals better Mayūrāsana. Next, add block work: hands on blocks for a press move where the torso shifts forward dynamically, flush with the lungs, no hesitation. From there, step feet onto blocks, point the toes, and lift one leg at a time—learning to hold belly balance with precision. Variations progress to setting the head down, climbing the feet onto blocks, and pressing firmly into the edge (not flat on top) to keep the legs active and alive. The takeaway: Mayūrāsana grows not from brute kicking but from repetition of planks, press moves, and block-supported drills, each stage reinforcing stamina, balance, and whole-body integration.
