The Peacock pose, forearm balance, had me foxed for years.
\nAs I started to think about the name of the pose and consider a peacocks trait’s (my arms are explaining the way the peacock opens up it’s tail feathers in the title picture), it got my imagination rolling and I was off.
\nI believe that it’s not about the perfect pose, it is about the correct approach, physically and mentally.<\/p>\n
Precautions and contra-indications;
\nas with all inversions, please avoid during menstruation or if the pose causes pressure in the head, ears or eyes. If you have; back, shoulder, or neck injury.
\nA heart condition or high blood pressure.
\nMigraine or head-ache.<\/p>\n
Most importantly as with any yoga practice, listen to your own body, be kind and sensitive to your bodies needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
