January brings with it a sense of starting anew, maybe bringing with it a fresh Sankalpa, or a new challenge or goal. This sequence is for anyone working toward Pincha Mayurasana, forearm balance, or looking to refine the practice of it. The following preparatory poses will open and strengthen the shoulders, strengthen the core and lengthen the back body, to start or continue to work towards your forearm balance.
For this practice you will need two blocks, a yoga strap and potentially access to a wall. Move through this practice in a mindful way, paying attention to your mind, body and breath and not pushing yourself too hard. Let’s begin!
Watch the mini session with Ruben De Monte on the OM website or App, brought to you in partnership with The Yoga Class. Visit for the full-length class, plus 250+ more
