Viparita Namaskar Tadasana is an Asana. It is translated as Reverse Prayer Mountain Pose from Sanskrit.

The name of this pose comes from "viparita" meaning "reversed", "namaskar" meaning "hands in prayer salutation", "tada" meaning "mountain", and "asana" meaning "posture" or "seat". This pose is a variation of Tadasana.


Benefits

  1. It opens the inner hips and thigs.
  2. Stretches the front shoulder and the rotator cuffs muscles.
  3. It promotes a sense of balance, since the toes are turned to the outside.


Cautions

  • Be careful while doing this pose if you have any ankle, knee, hip, lower back or shoulder injuries.
