A highly advanced forearm stand that combines a deep Lotus Pose with inversion and arm balance. It demands extraordinary hip flexibility, immense upper body and core strength, and unwavering focus, symbolizing grace and control.
From Forearm Stand, cross legs into Lotus.
Lower Lotus-bound legs towards the chest, maintaining balance.
Keep core engaged, breathing steadily.
Requires a stable Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Stand) and a pain-free, well-established Lotus Pose.
Forearms firmly planted, elbows shoulder-width, fingers spread wide.
Engage the core deeply to control the lowering of the Lotus-bound legs.
Keep the hips stacked over the shoulders for as long as possible before the lower body descends.
Maintain a long neck; avoid any compression.
