In Sanskrit Mayur is known as Peacock. Therefore in this asana the whole of the body is held like a stick on both of the elbows assuming the shape of a peacock during this asana son it is known as Mayurasana. This asana can be performed as follows;
- Sit on the floor with your knees about 12 inches apart.
- Now kneel down in the same position.
- Stretch the fingers of the hand. The fingers shall remain stretched pointing backwards.
- Now place the hands, palms on the floor between the knees and with the wrists in front.
- Place your elbows gently on either sides of the navel.
- Now slowly bend forwards until the abdomen is resting on the elbows.
- At first come forwards and then begin raising the upper part of the body.
- Now slowly and steadily raise the body and the legs in one horizontal position with the legs outstretched forming the letter “V”.
- The whole of the horizontal body is now resting on the hands with the forearms vertical.
- Hold this posture for a while or few seconds.
