Pasasana (Sanskrit: पाशासन; IAST: pāśāsana) or Noose Pose is an asana.
== Etymology ==
The name comes from the Sanskrit words pasa (or pasha) (पाश, pāśa) meaning "noose" or "snare", and asana (आसन) meaning "posture" or "seat".
== Description ==
In this yoga asana, the human body creates a 'noose' when the practitioner wraps their arms around their squatting legs with their hands clasped behind their back, while twisting to one side.
== Benefits ==
This asana is traditionally said to be therapeutic for mild back, shoulder and neck tension, asthma, indigestion, flatulence, menstrual discomfort and sciatica.
