Vrischikasana
Revision as of 17:48, 9 January 2017 by Chaithrika (talk | contribs)
Vriscikasana (or Vrischikasana) [1] is an Asana. It is translated as Scorpion Pose from Sanskrit.
The name of this pose comes from "vrischika" meaning "scorpion", and "asana" meaning "posture" or "seat". Vrischikasana has two variations: on the forearms and in a handstand.
Benefits
- Strengthens the wrists, arms and shoulders, stretches the back
- Stimulates internal organs and helps with balance.
- It also promotes the blood flow to the internal organs of the torso, being an inversion.
Cautions
- Be careful while doing this pose if you have wrist, elbow, shoulder, spinal injuries or high blood pressure.
