Kukkutasana (Sanskrit: कुक्कुटासन; IAST: Kukkuṭāsana), Cock Pose, or Rooster Posture is an asana.
Etymology
The name comes from the Sanskrit words kukkuṭā meaning "cock" and asana (आसन) meaning "posture" or "seat".
Benefits
Kukkuṭāsana helps in the strengthening of the joints as the wrists, elbows and shoulders; helps in the improvement of the digestive system; increases the balance in the body. This asana is very beneficial for women in overcoming the hip pain and discomfort from menstruation. Variations
Two variations of Kukkutasana are Urdhva Kukkutasana (Upward Cock Pose)[8] and Parsva Kukkutasana (Sideways Cock Pose).
