Whether you're working towards your first forearm balance or refining your inversion practice, this video will help you build the strength, stability and body awareness needed to approach the pose with confidence. Pincha Mayurasana is a powerful inversion that develops shoulder strength, core stability and balance, while inviting us to cultivate patience, focus and trust. Like all inversions, it isn't about rushing to the final posture—it's about building strong foundations and enjoying the journey along the way. In this video, we'll explore: • Tips for practising and teaching Pincha Mayurasana safely • Building strength through the shoulders, arms and core • Creating stability and balance in Forearm Balance • Developing confidence with inversions • Common mistakes to avoid when practising and teaching Pincha Mayurasana • Listening to your body and honouring your own practice Please remember that every body is different. Only move in a way that feels comfortable and supportive for you. If you have a wrist, shoulder or neck injury, or anything doesn't feel right, gently come out of the pose, modify the practice or simply rest. Yoga is never about forcing your body into a posture—it's about cultivating awareness, patience and compassion as you build strength and confidence over time.
