Mastering Pincha Mayurasana: Three Key Techniques for a Stable Forearm Stand | Tapas Yoga HK
Author -
Pincha Mayurasana (Three Key Points) How's your Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand) coming along? Today, Yong and I break down three key techniques to help you improve your form and stability in this challenging inversion.
Key Point 1: Elbow and Palm Position Beginners often let their elbows splay too wide. Keep your elbows shoulder-width apart. If you're struggling to lift up, try bringing your palms slightly closer together, spread your fingers wide, and press firmly into the mat for stability.
Key Point 2: Shoulder and Neck Openness Avoid letting your shoulders and neck scrunch up. Draw your shoulder blades down, engage the shoulder muscles and serratus anterior, and feel the support that comes from stable shoulders.
Key Point 3: Core and Glute Control Don't rely solely on your lower back for balance! Remember to draw your belly in, engage your glutes, reduce pressure on the lower back, and make the entire pose more stable.
