Mayurasana is one of the ancient yoga forms in Hatha yoga. The word Mayurasana is derived from two Sanskrit words “Mayur” (मयूर) meaning peacock and “Asana” (आसन) which refers to posture.

This is a traditional and a non-seated asana. This asana is called Mayurasana because when you do this pose, you looks like a peacock walking steadily with its feathers downwards.
