Techniques
Adopt an elegant and composed posture that embodies the peacock’s graceful energy. With one leg extended and pointed behind you, creating a long, flowing line, and the other leg firmly rooted to the ground, your stance becomes a perfect balance of strength and fluidity. Your arms stretch outward, wide and open, adding a layer of balance and extension to the posture. This enhances your reach and control.
