'''Ardha Matsyendrasana''' also known as the Half Lord of The Fish pose, Half Spinal Twist Pose, is derived from the Sanskrit terms ardha (half), matsya (fish), indra (King or Lord). Ardha Matsyendrasana is one of the best twisting postures. The entire spine gets rotated around its axis. Moreover, your spine also gets two side twists throughout its length. The levers used for these extreme twists are the arms and the knees.
==Technique==
# Sit with an extended spine and your legs extended out in front.
# Bring your elbow outside your knee. Allow your arms to maintain the length of your spine, despite the urge to collapse due to the pressure of the elbow against your knee.
# You can turn your head to the right if that feels comfortable.<ref name="Technique"/>
