Svarga Dvijasana (Bird of Paradise) – Basic Form, Entering the Pose from Various Starting Points, & Verbal Cues
It’s typically advised that teachers provide no more than three instructions per pose so that students have time to work with the teaching. Here you’ll find many options from which to choose. Some cues make the same point in different ways, and occasionally some can be contradictory... so please try them out for yourself . When cues are unusual or uniquely described, we have noted the source.
