FOREARM STAND | Learn How To Do Forearm Stand In 3 Minutes | With Advanced Variations 🧘‍♀️

I'm teaching you how to do forearm stand in 3 minutes! You'll learn the foundations of the forearm stand pose, Pincha Mayurasana, so you can confidently integrate this balancing inversion into your yoga practice. This advanced pose can be modified at accommodate beginners by using a wall, but is best for advanced yogis. This yoga pose strengthens the core, arms, shoulders, and improves your balance and focus. (This pose is also known as bent arm balance and feathered peacock pose).

Come to your knees and hands on your mat. Spread your fingers wide, palms flat, and bend your arms so you forearms are parallel on the ground, inline with your shoulders. Curl your toes under and begin to lift your hips up into dolphin pose. Walk the feet in slightly before shifting your weight into your forearms and hands and kick up with your dominant leg.
Use the momentum of your dominant leg kick up to bring the other leg up and rebalance your center over your forearms with a slight bend in the back to keep your from kicking too far over. Work on engaging the core and focusing your center of gravity in your shoulders and forearms.
From here, you can work on other variations with your legs and back, like scorpion pose, stag legs, pigeon, etc. To come out of the pose, let your weight fall forearm into advanced camel pose or fall back into dolphin pose again before resting in child's pose to allow the back to rest.

This asana is one of my favorites and I hope it will be one of yours too!
