[[File:Akarna Dhanurasana.png|thumb|right|''Akarna Dhanurasana'']]
'''Akarṇa Dhanurāsana''' <ref name="Akarṇa Dhanurāsana"/> in translation from Sanskrit Karṇa means ear and the prefix Ā means towards; or near. Dhanu means "bow" and asana means "pose", the name literally translated is towards the ear bow pose. A better, non literal translation is the "Archer Pose," as the position resembles an archer about to release an arrow.
== Description ==
*This asana improves flexibility of the leg muscles. Abdominal muscles and the lower spine are also strengthened.
