Hello everyone!
I hope you spent a nice weekend!

Despite what you may think, Bird of Paradise pose, Svarga Dvijasana, is named after a beautiful flower as opposed to a quirky, tropical bird.
Using the imagery of a blossoming flower is a great way to prepare yourself mentally and physically for this advanced pose, which combines a bind, a balance, and a strong extension of the lifted leg to inspire you to grow.

As a balancing pose, Bird of Paradise strengthens the standing foot, ankle, knee and thigh and improves focus, balance and concentration.
The extension of the lifted leg also helps to stretch the hips, groin and hamstrings.
And the bind encourages a deep sense of openness through the shoulders and chest while providing a gentle massage for the internal organs.

For those who are interested, this is the completely standing variation...
