My Asana: Salamba Sarvangasana

Salamba Sarvangasana or (ShoulderStand) is a beneficial stretch for the whole body. Shoulder Stand yoga asana or Salamba Sarvangasana gets it's name Sarvangasana from the sankrist word "sarva", meaning "all-parts". This probably refers to all the parts of the body exercising and benefiting from this asana. The meaning of Salamba, the sankrist word translates to "with support" so all together the sankrist asana Salamba Sarvangasana most accurately translates to "With Support of all-parts (of the body)"
