Forearm Balance is an inversion supported on the forearms and shoulders. It carries fall and shoulder-loading risk; do not kick up alone or use this text as an entry tutorial, and learn preparation and exit with qualified supervision.

What is Forearm Balance?
Pincha Mayurasana is an inversion balanced on the forearms. It requires shoulder control, balance, and an appropriate exit strategy.
How should this posture be approached?
Practice only with direct guidance from a qualified teacher and suitable supervision. This page does not provide a kick-up sequence.
- Do not kick up alone or near hard objects.
- Keep the head clear of the floor and avoid loading the neck.
- Stop for shoulder, elbow, or wrist pain, dizziness, or visual symptoms.
- Use a teacher-approved supported preparation with both feet grounded.
What is a lower-demand alternative?
Use a brief forearm-supported Dolphin variation with knees down and no inversion.
Common question: Is the wall enough to make an inversion safe?
No. Wall practice still requires instruction, adequate space, and a controlled exit.
