Hi

My favourite position is the peacock!!! It is a hand balance but your elbows are both nestled in your groin & you lift both feet/legs in the air behind you above your head..your head can be lifted or your chin left resting on the floor (supposed to be harder but I find it easier!). This position can also be done while in the lotus position!
I love it as it is supposed to detox your body as the elbows are pushing on large lymphatic vessels so clears the system........I ALWAYS get a huge burst of energy after it!! :0)))
