Step 1
Rest on your knees facing your partner. Your partner should be sitting in a comfortable cross legged position. Lean forward and rest on your forearms with your fingertips just a few centimeters from your partners crossed ankles.
-
Step 2
Find the distance your elbows should be opened by taking hold of each elbow with the opposite hand. Once you have found your elbow position, lift your hands once again, place your palms face down and form a triangle with your thumbs and index fingers.
-
Step 3
Lift your knees and slowly walk your feet up towards your head, shifting the weight of your body into your forearms and hands. Once your hips are stacked above your shoulders, have your partner lift his hands and place the heels just above your hips bones. His fingers should wrap around your sides, supporting the lower back.
-
Step 4
Press into your partner's hands gently and then bend your right knee and slowly lift the leg up towards the sky. Once lifted, repeat with the left leg. Point your toes and lift up through your arms, increasing the distance from your shoulders to your feet.
-
Step 5
Hold the feathered peacock yoga pose for 10 seconds. With each pose, add 1 or 2 seconds, slowly working your way up to 3 minutes. When ready, have your partner hold the hips and very gently pull back towards your fingertips, helping you to balance. Bend your left knee and lower the leg and then follow with the right.

Step 6
Drop your knees to the floor and your chest onto your upper thighs and rest in child's pose for at least 1 minute.
