Pincha Mayurasana and Scorpion Pose

Author: Natalie Basch

 

This tutorial for Pincha and Scorpion Pose is quite an advanced sequence, so make sure you know the foundations.

 

Here is the sequence:
– Backward Facing Entry
– Down Dog
– Flying Plank with a core activation
– Chair Pose
– Pincha Prep (elbows still hovering off the ground)
– Scorpion Prep (one leg at a time)
– Pincha Mayurasana (full)
– Scorpion (Full)
– Childs Pose – always at the end

 

Not ideal for lower back and shoulder injuries. Make sure you’re sufficiently warmed up before trying this. I suggest practicing Sequence I three to four rounds or simply skipping with a jump rope for 5 minutes.

 

Please make sure you have attended at least an Airo class, workshop or training before trying this at home.
