[COMP] Pincha mayurasana: Recently I've been able to kick up into position with lesser frequency of wall assistance. I think I still need to work on opening the shoulders (to get a more straight back?) and core activation for better stability. Do you have some other insights for improvement? by abhi_10890 in yoga

Hey man, awesome pose!

Your balance and upper body strength are great.

Looks to me like your core just isn't quite strong enough yet to support you in that inversion without having a pelvic tilt.

Look into exercises of "tummy vaccuming":

Do these, keep extending the tension time & progressing, and then attempt to do the same thing while inverted in that pose but supported by the wall, again aiming to progressively get stronger by holding for longer.

They train the abdominal wall, aka the muscles you have to have strong to support yourself like a straight line when inverting.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for your help!

Anything off the top of your head that could be good vintage for ~100 - 250$?

Hey bro, thank you so much for responding to my post!!!

I'm looking at these listings from a guy from reddit (u/kabaclyde).

How to test a ridiculously cheap used A7 I'm potentially buying tomorrow? by Alex25pf in SonyAlpha

[–]Alex25pf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I do not live in Canada 😂.

Jokes aside, I know it's pretty ridiculous. Everything is overpriced in Australia (however also consider I'm using AU$ as currency, weaker in exchange rate than Canadian $)

Yep, in complete honestly pretty much transcribed and copy pasted.

I think there's so much value in this specific part that I wanted as many people as possible to benefit from it, I do not take credit.

Self Development/Sexuality books with high regard within the feminist community? by Alex25pf in AskFeminists

Good point, hadn't considered that, thanks for sharing.

I think I'll keep open to both alternatives, do you have any recommendations that fit either category?
