I just learned how to do this at age 63. I can do it for about 6 seconds. The first time I tried it I thought it would be impossible, but with each effort I could do it just a tiny bit longer. Took about two weeks of effort.

[@yasmeen_yn9906]

david letterman keep it up 👍

[@piyushkumar2993]

Nice to hear..at 63 agr u r doing..good

[@vijayprakashshetye306]

U have to do ataleast 1minute

[@luisa146]

That's impressive and inspiring!

[@zulfiahmed221]

Thank you so much! I've given up this post many years ago after falling both ways for too many times and after watching this learned couple of tricks, like keeping you chin on the ground when you start lifting your leg etc, and after years I've managed to get just right for few seconds! few seconds of glory :)

[@KinoYoga]

Zulfi Ahmed Awesome, keep practicing :)

[@Carley772]

Girl, you make these look so easy! All that work payed off!

[@virendradr]

LOVE YOU KINO ALWAYS ANGAIN AND AGAIN LIVE LONG ,LIVE TO SPREAD LIGHT

[@kargelr]

Nice. I came here after watching "Edge of Tomorrow" and seeing Emily Blunt do this pose.

[@acquila1007]

DUDE SAME! She is my role model and I'm getting to master this! And when I do I wanna do it like she did with one hand only! I hope i can do it :)

[@AdiCool88]

biscuitdave I did the same exact thing lol.

[@LiveFullPotential]

+biscuitdave same here , Really it's amazing that many people think in the same way (I watched the movie yesterday :D)

[@KeithBalante]

Me too

[@tohuwabohu7430]

At first i also thought: "Wow, what a tough woman" but after that i saw the video where she was doing the exercise but was held by ropes.

[@VinnyPizzaLover]

I tried this one tonight during a pizza eating break , I have lots of work to do

[@surajpradhan8606]

Lots of love from India to all yoga lovers.. you are doing great.. keep spreading positivity 🕉️🙏

[@KinoYoga]

Thanks! So happy to hear it.

[@spaceoddity321]

I totally found myself holding my breath as she was talking in the pose! Haha almost like "OMG HOW IS SHE TALKING RIGHT NOW"

[@Nozverah2]

First time watching this I was so distracted by your grace & glow that I totally missed the complexity & skill of this pose. you're a yoga goddess💕

[@TONYLOUIS100]

Wow!! She never did it that good. You got real strength, balance and power. Watching perform your yoga exercises has redefined to me what I call power and strength. Weight lifting does not come near the internal power of Yoga. Thanks for sharing

[@madan365]

What a lovely presentation!

[@yogaiskra9449]

Kino Thanks!!! I love the way you explain it!!! A lot of blessings!!!

[@naratharrishirishi5923]

You way of teaching is so nice good luck

[@KinoYoga]

There are actually two different opinions on this. Some people say that it's better to lift the legs higher, while other indicate that the body should be horizontal. It's definitely easier to lift the legs and much harder to keep the body totally horizontal.

[@anuanishow9490]

[@assyrianbull]

KinoYoga absolutely. Love you Kino. You're my inspiration!

[@vivnaidu2869]

[@elizabethnameless1670]

[@emiliademoje7217]

[@Bibi111ism]

Thank you Mrs Kino ; this video helped me a lot regarding how to perform poorna salabhasana :)

[@rameshbalan7953]

Namasthe Kino, Thanks kino for Mayur Asan and since one week i am practicing. First day it was difficult and little liifted abd kept on improving and my arms used to slip and getting better and better and hope i master this art. thanks kino again and namasthe, regards, ramesh

[@KinoYoga]

Go to my channel /KinoYoga and it's the second video under recent activities. Let me know if you can't find it--and please subscribe so that you'll get the latest videos :)

[@krishnavenimurali8198]

Superb mam you are doing well ...its difficult for me

[@dayesimpson]

You are truly such a down to earth and knowledgeable Yogi, who explains each pose with such ease and definable detail and who continues to talk through-out the pose - incredible! This is one of many arm balance poses that I have been working on for some time, but my main issue lies within my core (which isn't very strong) and to which I am really working on right now. Thanks so much for your tips which give me hope! 🙏🏻

[@KinoYoga]

Thanks so much

[@TONYLOUIS100]

1st...Comment... My mother use to do that when I was 7 years old

[@kidrn4u]

What a great video to archive! I will certainly remember these tips when I get to this point in my personal ashtanga practice. Thank you!!!

[@PricefieldPunk]

My arms and hands can't even twist like that lol

[@v.j.p.t.l5423]

Have a Beautiful day kino... beautiful experience 😃👍💖

[@siumaria9160]

Love your video so much. Thanks so much for sharing. Awesome! Love you, Kino!!!!!

[@YankeeSparrow]

Should be renamed "Angel of Verdun". Never gets old

[@vanessacardui8487]

real dificult pose to get into. im a litle woried bout my wrist. haha. awesome, kino.

[@collinryan6327]

As a calisthenics athlete this pose reminds me of the elbow lever except with your hands at shoulder width they are close together and I just tried this pose after watching this video and I was able to hold it for half a second and I think that I will incorporate this pose into my planche training so that I can learn the close grip full planche.

[@nikhilkumarsingh4035]

Thank you Master Kino, due to your tips I was able to get my Elbow Lever on the Day #1.

[@meghapravin]

Superb exhibition of mayurasna, well explained to get into the posture. Thanks for sharing :)

[@KinoYoga]

That's certainly a fine way to start.

[@SanjayGupta-ck5xn]

Kino you showed an easy way to do thanks

[@KinoYoga]

Try the shoulders first, then firm the core more. But don't let the core be loose while you get the shoulders into place. If possible, everything all at once.

[@KinoYoga]

That depends on how bad the hernia is and if your doctor approves you to start exercise again.

[@YogaForeverWithEmma]

I always have a lot of admiration for you you’re extremely good with your technique very informative

[@KinoYoga]

Thanks

[@nguyentien-nx1yh]

Super Yga...excellent!Thanks for ur tuts!

[@virendradr]

KINO ,you are divine, bold, beautiful but what i love and like is the purity of your mind ,the noble soul, the affectionate teacher be connected ,I learn from your videos. .regards

[@KinoYoga]

Check out my video from Monday. It's the perfect core strength movement for this posture :)

[@KinoYoga]

#NewVideo #Mayurasana #KinoYoga #Ashtanga #Yoga

[@carpiedog1]

Is the aim of this pose to keep the body horizontal or for the feet to be lifted higher than the head? Thank you for the videos.

[@rajeshpatil1368]

You done very well

[@hemlatanair2313]

Excellent mam you do it so smoothly

[@siumaria9160]

Thanks for sharing. Love you, Kino.

[@shankare2286]

Been trying this for say 3 weeks now. Although there is improvement I can only hold for a second or two

[@Vivalavidapool]

my wrists don't bend back so much, don't even know if I can stretch them out to do that, trying it out with my wrists facing outwards instead :S

[@YogaForeverWithEmma]

Stretching is a good thing, also strengthening as well because sometimes when your wrist get tight it can also be due to weakness I hope that was helpful 🙏

[@sumitpatait9464]

Very nice explain 👍👌

[@RaeBae7]

i literally have no clue how to even start building up to be able to do any of the things you do. :o

[@sk8guitardrums]

I think your superwoman, always very impressive what you do and your teaching methods..

[@KinoYoga]

That's awesome!!!

[@whitewhite4462]

is it an indian planche?

[@YogaForeverWithEmma]

Hi Kino I’ve been watching you for awhile just want to say you’re awesome

[@TONYLOUIS100]

LOL She use to do yoga from back in the 1960's up to the early 1990's. She is age 76 now and has had 11 children and still loos like age 50 and my grandmother is 105 years old this November. She was good but no way near as good as Kino. Kino has incredible power, flexibility and balance. Her yoga blows me away. I want to learn internal power and balance and not just external power Like boxing. I've done some Wing chun (which has internal power) with my cousin (teacher). Yoga is the one for me..

[@aksayag1923]

I held this pose for a solid 30 seconds right when I tried it for the first time!!

[@leaneleaneleane]

When you say "It's hard for me," I can just imagine how harder it is for me! hahahaha i love you!

[@LuisGarcia-qg2fg]

thanks i was trying to start the one handed version without knowing about this one haha

[@Ashu-123_]

Thank you

[@invinciblekd]

Thank you Kino, yes i have already subscribed, but i have subscribed to so many channels that sometimes i miss some of them ! Thanks a lot for your response, I am primarily focusing on core strength now, so I hope that your videos help me out ! Moreover, how can i know more about the ashtanga camp at mysore ?

[@ajitm3658]

May I know where did u Learn these stuffs ? Yours is the only video which is easy to follow and easy to implement !!

[@LifeMattersChannel]

It's hard for Kino because I noticed her elbows don't reach her belly button. Nothing wrong with that everyone have different anatomies. For people whose arms are long enough and elbows sit to the sides of the belly button this posture is much much easier.

[@roberthuber5589]

amazing yoga master!

[@KinoYoga]

Happy to share :)

[@Lashannasmall]

that thing you did with wrapping your arms around the breast is a game changer. I jumped out my chair to try it that way and I lifted up for like the first time ever! I didn't straighten my legs but I will play with it during an actual practice and see what happens. Thanks

[@amith0tube]

Wonderful thanks

[@raushansing_h]

Really nice , can u please upload this video briefly

[@Yogamama100]

Do you recommend modifying the pose by bringing the legs into lotus or baddha konasana?

[@1wrongaddress]

I have learnt a lot from you. I still have difficulties with Mayurasana because my legs are too long compared to the torso. I can do Padma Mayurasana but can't do Mayurasana properly. Taking the head too much forward does not seem to work. Can you suggest what to do?

[@yoganandhinitamil7889]

அருமை சகோதரி sister super

[@Vytablade]

Thank you so much. You've really helped me ;)

[@popcorn19761]

Beautifully explained,good work :)

[@RobertoHernandez-ns8ws]

Qué linda con estos ejercicios saludos

[@wumartha2009]

Thank you Kino. :D

[@daveaaron8209]

Awesome!

[@MrAmitricky]

After saw this video I'm your fan forever...

[@yogaandhealth7052]

Good MISS KINO..... BUT AS AN PAKISTANI I UNDERSTAND THE NAME OF THIS ASANA IN HINDI WHICH IN ACTUAL IS MORE ASANA, SAME AS IN ENGLISH AS YOU KNOW YOUR LANGUAGE WELL THAN US THAT THE MORE MEAN IN ENGLISH IS SOMETHING LIKE DEMANDING MORE.... BUT WITH THE SAME PRONUNCIATION THE WORD MORE IN HINDI OR IN URDU MEANS PEACOCK... HOPE YOU CAN GET MY DEPTH.... YOU ARE GOOD IN DOING YOGA AND HERE I GIVE YOU 10 STARS NOT JUST 5 STARS FOR YOUR GOOD EXPLANATION FOR BEGINNERS...... THANKS AND KEEP IT UP

[@jaypaljay671]

very good Indian yog 🙏

[@innerengineering1594]

I am from India I love your yoga video how to contact you I am fan of u

[@aamirawan8006]

Is this exercise helpful for removing cubitus varus

[@virilitytraining]

I love this exercise. What are the benefits of doing this?

[@sandhya000]

This is part of Yoga, not exercise, I am from India and according to Patanjali Yoga(Original Script of Yoga), MAYURASANA is PROHIBITED for women, as ladies have the different body structure than male also female's lower part is more sensitive for such tough balance (peacock pose)

[@samtem77]

Kino great work

[@KinoYoga]

Thanks :)

[@samtem77]

I am learning from you a lot, but it takes time as few asanas are really need lot of flexibility and control but you are a great teacher. I hope to learn a lot and get into a great shape soon. thanks

[@NaNa-lt1po]

you give me hope... !!

[@fuldagap22]

Have watched this video for more than a couple of times now. Practiced for a couple of months. I can say I am able to do it now. How long do u suggest holding the pose or does it not matter? Thanks a ton for this tutorial anyway!

[@KinoYoga]

+Abhishek Bhardwaj Hold the pose for five to ten breaths :)

[@umavashist7892]

Ohh my god you are amazing 👍

[@KinoYoga]

Lots of practice!!

[@jaysartori9032]

Looking at that pos right before you jump back? It looked like something only people with EDS have? Do you have that to?

[@ajbarnes777]

Simply amazing.

[@DavidSchilter]

Nice vid Kino! I've found it helpful to compare the pretty peacock and the lil' locust pose. Your comments are helpful - one surely needs the back body firing to keep everything from sagging but as you mention, the front body also has to work so your elbows have a platform.

[@siralfrednobel]

I read somewhere that females should not do this particular asana.What about that?

[@fayedennis9051]

Hi really great explanation of this pose , do u by any chance know of a pose like this where u bend at the waist with a wide stance and make ur elbows like this pose then slowly put ur legs up on them? Any help with name of pose or tutorial would be so cool ty

[@KinoYoga]

I’m not sure I understand

[@learnorigami623]

Thank you for your help!

[@Tomintx81]

jeeeebus! you've got some incredible strength

[@ramsayas793]

Hi Kino. This vid helped me go to mayurasana. Funny thing is, I was watching this last night, then we did this in our class, the very next day, as our peak pose, kinda like our final challenge pose. When I tried I kept falling on my face and chin. It's just that I'm having a hard time bringing my head on the mat before I even get halfway to the pose. Hopefully I'll get it through lotsa practice. Just wanted to know if the shoulders should round first or the abdomen area engages first?

[@HajeraAhmed]

By ''eat poison'' I believe it means that it is such a powerful and strengthening posture that the yogi who does mayurasana can eat poison, and nothing will happen- meaning it increases immunity =)

[@assyrianbull]

Hajera. Ahmed true

[@yogawithkalidasa8503]

I was able to do this the first time I tried, but then I was young and strong. I like the way you lift your legs though, I tend to be closer to horizontal.

[@tostiehamkaas]

You manage talking...so it's possible, haha! Thank you!!

[@YogaForeverWithEmma]

She’s so amazing, I have a lot of trouble talking when I’m practising lol

[@ravimishra3423]

thanks mam

[@kandaridhanbir4962]

Nice way to do

[@alexandersvitych7638]

You are amazing.

[@naiomiarmitage7972]

I constantly watch your videos dreaming that I will be able to do the same things one day but I never know where to start because im a golfer and all my muscles are extremely tight ... especially my hamstrings ... so much so that I cant even touch the ground with straight legs and I have talked to someone who does yoga and says to tag along at a class but im too embarrassed because of how tight all my muscles are .... could you make some videos for people who want to begin yoga on how to loosen up your muscles and how to know how far you can push them please?

[@kargelr]

Definitely go check out a class, or even find one here on KZbin. And don't be afraid to look awkward. Everybody does the first few times. I was pretty hesitant when I went to my first class, but they usually start with a gentle sun salutation, which is a good warm-up and loosens you a little. Any decent teacher will know there are varying abilities in their class, and will suggest alternatives for beginners. Believe me, I felt like I had a body of reinforced concrete when I started four years ago, but now I'm probably the most limber man I know in my age range. Just did my first bound bird of paradise last week! (:

[@Nirmalabhishek730]

Thank you so much. :)
