mah-yoor-AHS-ah-nah
A powerful arm balance that requires immense core and upper body strength, balancing the entire body horizontally on the forearms. It deeply tones the abdominal organs, builds internal heat, and cultivates profound focus and determination.
Kneel, place hands on floor, fingers pointing back.
Lean forward, pressing elbows into belly.
Lift legs, balance horizontally, gaze forward.
Press palms firmly into the floor, fingers spread wide and pointing towards the feet.
Keep the elbows tucked tightly into the lower abdomen or rib cage, forming a stable shelf.
Shift your weight slowly forward, allowing the body to pivot over the elbows.
Engage your core and legs strongly to create a horizontal line from head to heels.
Gaze forward, maintaining a long neck; avoid crunching the chin.
