Viparita Karani

In Sanskrit, ‘Viparita’ means inverted while ‘Karani’ refers to action. This asana or pose is also called legs-up-the-wall pose. It is a basic yoga asana, in which the practitioner lies down on a mat and lifts his legs perpendicular to the ground. Yoga practitioners consider it as a pose that improves pelvic circulation and increases the blood flow to face, neck and thorax and improves the functioning of adrenal, pituitary and thyroid glands.
