Mayurasana: the posture named for the peacock.
This one doesn't get its title from the full plume of the birds tail feathers, but because your elbows dig so deeply into a soft tummy, it's said to give the yogi the digestive power of the beautiful bird. 😱
I came home from my trip wishing I had those powers. 🤢
Peacocks are able to eat venomous snakes and be totally a-ok. Watch out, Taylor Swift! (Please don't come for me, Swifties!! It's a joke!! 🐍
On a less gross 💩 note, how useful would it be if you could digest the toxicity of something in order to ultimately find nourishment? It'd prolly make eating a salad in Goa a little easier 😉
One form or ignorance that's super common is a misidentification of pain as pleasure-- so how do we heal? The snake is only poisonous to those susceptible to its venom.
