Vrishchikasana :

'Vrishchika' means a scorpion. In this asana, the body assumes the pose of a scorpion. So it is called Vrishchikasana. Those who can  practice  Sheershasana or Hastavrikshasana for a long time can  practice  this posture with ease and comfort.

Technique:

A beginner should  practice  this posture with the support of a wall. Place the forearms and the elbows on the floor. Push against the floor lightly with the legs. Slowly move the legs five cms away from the wall and try to balance the body on the forearms. Breathe normally. Practise this for a few days. After achieving proficiency, bend the legs at the knees and try to place the soles on the head. Patient practice will in time impart the necessary ability to balance the body on the palms braced on the ground.

Health Benefits of  VRISHCHIKASANA Yoga:

  • This posture strengthens the arms and the shoulders. It gives sufficient exercise to the abdominal muscles.
  • The spine is turned backward in this posture which brings flexibility and imparts radiance and youth to the body.
  • It has all the advantages of Sheershasana, Chakra¬sana and Dhanurasana.

The Scorpion Pose
Vrischika is the Sanskrit word for scorpion. This posture is so named because the body resembles a scorpion with its tail arched above its head ready to sting its victim. Although it may not be a simple posture for beginners to perform, the Scorpion is not as difficult as it may at first seem.
