This class continues the study of Mayūrāsana (Peacock Pose) with new options for support and entry. We begin with the reverse-hand plank and chair drills: hands turned back, arms steady, belly on the elbows, and one leg at a time lifted to practice balance . A belt above the elbows may be added to stabilize if arms need spacing due to carrying angle. From there, students step onto block stacks at the wall, refining leg lines and gradually lowering support as strength builds. Two alternative approaches are introduced: Lotus entry — placing legs in Lotus first makes them shorter, giving a small advantage in lifting into balance. Frog-like Mayūrāsana — knees wide, torso rounded, elbows in belly, then straightening one leg and then the other to find lift. These variations are presented as supplemental—not shortcuts—helping students explore different pathways into the pose. The essence is clear: Mayūrāsana can grow from plank discipline, Lotus dexterity, or primal frog-like grounding, but in every case it requires forward commitment, whole-body participation, and patient layering of drills.
