Bird of Paradise Pose (Svarga Dvijasana) – Beautiful but challenging

Although it has a beautiful shape that makes everyone look “infatuated”, but when you do it, you will feel “sweat” because of the difficulty of the bird of paradise pose.

Bird of Paradise Pose has the Sanskrit name Svarga Dvijasana. This is a challenging yoga pose where you have to balance on one leg, raise your leg up and rotate it out, and do a bunch of hands. Therefore, if you want to conquer, you should divide the bird of paradise pose into parts and practice slowly.

You should practice the limited open angle pose (Baddha Utthita Parsvakonasana) before conquering the bird of paradise move. If you can easily do it, even with the help of a yoga rope, you can switch to Svarga Dvijasana. If not, be patient!

Benefits of doing the bird of paradise movement

Bird of paradise pose can help:

• Strengthens legs and core
• Stretch arms, open hips and hamstrings.
• Improve body balance

You may not come across a pose like the bird of paradise in your daily life, but practicing this pose will prepare you for the risks associated with balance.

Instructions for performing the bird of paradise movement

Limited Extended Side Angle Pose (Baddha Utthita Parsvakonasana)

Start with the limited extension angle pose (Baddha Utthita Parsvakonasana) then:

• Turn your head to look at the front foot
• Step your back foot forward so that your foot is parallel to the front edge of the mat. When moving, hands are still tightly clenched. To do this step, it will take you quite a while. You will now be in a forward fold position with your arms around your legs. Keep your knees slightly bent
• Shift weight to the “free” leg and create stability
• Lift the other leg off the ground. Slowly stand up straight with your legs and arms limited.
• Once stabilized, straighten your legs and hold the pose for about 5 breaths
• To exit, slightly bend the knee of the extended leg and slowly lower the leg to the floor. Then reverse the steps above to return to the limited angle position.

Note when performing the action

To get the most out of your workout and avoid injury, you should:

• Regularly practice basic yoga poses to prepare the body before conquering the bird of paradise movement
• Avoid doing this if you have any injuries to your legs, knees, hips, back or shoulders
• This is a balancing pose, so if you are pregnant or have high blood pressure, you should avoid doing it
• If the pain is in the inner thigh or arm, exit.

Variation of bird of paradise pose

You can do this pose in different ways:

• In the early stages, you can practice close to the wall to avoid falling. However, you should not lean too closely because the main goal of this move is to keep balance. If you lean against the wall, it won’t make any sense.
• If your hands can’t grasp each other, you can use a support yoga rope.

If you’ve mastered it, you can move on to the twisted bird of paradise pose, a more difficult and complex pose. Because in this position, you have to twist and twist, hold your hands, stretch your legs, and keep your balance on one leg.
