Peacock Pose – The Destroyer of Disease Yoga Posture Tutorial
First of all don’t be intimidated by the picture! There are many very simplified and accessible versions of Mayurasana that almost anyone can begin to practice and get the huge benefits mentioned below!
Peacock Posture is called Mayurasana in Sanskrit and according to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika is an asana known as the ‘Destroyer of Disease’. The relationship between Peacock Pose and destroying disease has two aspects.
For one Agni is developed when practicing Peacock Pose and Agni is the sacred hot fire within that burns away the obstacles that may cause disease processes to manifest. Secondly the digestive fire is stimulated by practicing Peacock and many health experts agree that constipation is the root cause of al disease.
Certainly constipation is a big cause of weight issues and general disease process and with the practice of Hot Power Vinyasa Yoga like Fred Busch’s Miami Yoga studio’s style or similar, then the chances of being constipated are minimized. Practice Peacock Posture everyday for best benefits.
Always practice on an absolutely empty stomach and never drink water before practicing peacock posture!
