Certainly you must be wondering, how on earth a yoga technique be possibly called the bird of paradise. And obviously, most of you must have heard this term for the first time and it might seem a little bizarre to you. If you are an amateur in the yogic practices or do not possess a flexible body then you must not try out, it is not your cup of tea right now. But certainly if you keep practicing, it will become one.
Okay. So for the first timers. This form of yoga, unlike its name, consists of poses like a flower. It makes your body look like a flower but become strong like the trunk of a tree. It requires extreme flexibility else you will fall. That’s why I asked for amateurs not to try it.
Also, it said to be the toughest so far with exquisitely fine grace accompanied by strength.
Also known as Svarga Dvidasana, bird of paradise is a game of dual, you have got to maintain a balance of weight when upper part gains more weight. More likely, you will fall for the first time, but it is okay, nothing comes easy.
Concentrate your weight in left foot while keeping the abs engaged in inhaling and exhaling. Now, take the right foot up with you. Once you’re up, make sure your heart is open and straighten your right leg. Keep breathing. Balance the rest body with one leg, that’s the task. Apparently, for the first time it might seem quite easy to you but it is easier said than done.
Before taking up this, one must warm up with a few other poses to make his body entirely suitable to hold up the bird of paradise pose and feel like one. Some of them are Warrior II – Virabhadrasana II, Triangle Pose – Trikonasana, Pigeon Pose – Kapotasana, and Bound Extended Side Angle Pose – Badha Utthita Parsvakonasana.
It works with Groin and Hamstrings in the lower half of the body and Abdominals, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus and Teres Minor in the upper half, any negligence will cause direct impact on them. It challenges your focus, balance, strength and flexibility.
Yes, a lot of them. It clearly strengthens the hips, pelvis, and quadriceps also lengthening the hamstrings and calves. It tones the legs, broadens the shoulders, strengthens the legs. It improves body balance significantly.
While it was a new thing to have occurred to you, many of you must be sceptical with the implications of this pose, then you must contact any of the yoga experts on our website close by to your area.
