This class develops Mayūrāsana (Peacock Pose) through plank variations and progressive drills rather than brute kicking. We begin with the reverse-hand plank: fingers turned back, hands apart, moving through thigh-to-chest drills and three-part sequences (point, thigh-to-chest, point, down) to awaken strength and control. From there, practice Chaturanga lowers with reversed hands, push-ups, or block/chair supports to keep alignment precise without strain. Next, bring the hands together (belt optional above elbows for stability) and lower the belly onto the arms. From this base, lift one leg at a time in Śalabhāsana-style extensions—not aiming for height, but for long, powerful reach through the legs while keeping the body forward and head close to the ground. Finally, use block stacks at the wall: set up first, then step on last to refine diagonal leg lines and patiently build strength before attempting a small, controlled kick. The essence is patience and layering—efficient drills first, then dessert of the advanced pose—so Mayūrāsana grows from steady plank foundations, not flailing kicks. Model - Tara McGrady, Nicole Rogai
