Perfect Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvijasana) Technique
Bird of Paradise (Svarga Dvijasana) is one of yoga's most elegant and challenging standing balance poses, combining the flexibility requirements of deep hip opening with the strength and stability needed for single-leg balance. Named after the exotic tropical flower, this pose creates beautiful lines through the body while testing every aspect of physical and mental balance. The pose requires significant hamstring flexibility, hip mobility, and core strength. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures safe progression and optimal alignment for this spectacular pose.
