Little flower doing Matsyasana, the Fish Pose.

[danypopyoga]

I just posted a video on youtube about how to  do the Shoulder Stand. Take a look! Link is in my bio.

Includes:

-URDHVA PADMASANA

-Fish Pose (Matsyasana)

There are many ways to approach the shoulder stand. This however is the way I was taught from India and in my opinion I believe this is the safest way. So go ahead and try! Be safe and know your limits but don't be afraid!

MATSYASANA (FISH POSE) Fish pose is a supine backbend that greatly benefits the spine, opens the chest and helps erase the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle. To enter this pose, the practitioner lies flat on the back with the hands underneath the buttocks. The body is supported on the backs of the legs and the forearms while the back arches and the chest is lifted. The back or crown of the head will touch the floor, but should not bear any weight. This can be a challenging posture for beginners, due to the need for flexibility in the back. It is often used as a counterpose that follows shoulder stand pose and counteracts its forward bending of the neck and spine. The fish pose may also be referred to by its Sanskrit name, "Matsyasana". www.himalayanholisticyoga.com #fishpose #matsyasana #himalayanholisticyoga #yoga #teachertraining#rishikesh #India (at Himalayan Holistic Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRvUe-Dn6F/?igshid=9fpyhdj3vc6
