    “Short and Longer Term prerequisites for: 
    Eka Pāda Uttāna Mayūrāsana include
    – Dvi Pāda Pīṭham
    – Sarvāṅgāsana
    – Halāsana
    – Śalabhāsana
    – Dhanurāsana”
    – 108 Postural Practice Pointers

    We must also consider the safety factors
    “For example Viparīta Padmāsana could
    be approached by working dynamically
    from Ardha Padma Sarvāṅgāsana
    into Ardha Padma Halāsana. This would
    ascertain the ability to work into and with
    Padmāsana in an inverted Āsana such as Śīrṣāsana.
    Thus, any Āsana practice must allow for certain
    safety factors, so we are able to work with respect
    and regard for the individual involved and yet
    retain consideration of and for the safety factors.”

    Sālamba Bhujaṅgāsana and/or Nirālamba Bhujaṅgāsana to:

    2. As Pratikriyāsana to Halāsana
    3. To prepare for staying in Dhanurāsana
    4. To emphasise the work in Daṇḍāsana”
