Which detail is given in the chapter about "Shashankasana This asana" in Yogasana Basics?
Shashankasana This asana is made of two words: Shashanka and asana.
Let us perform Ardhamatsyendrasana by following the steps given below.
Hasta means 'arms'; uttana means 'stretched up' and asana means 'posture'.
In this posture one stands on one's head, hence it is called Shirshasana (Head Stand Posture).
