Baddha Konasana – Butterfly Pose
Badhakonasana is also popularly known as the Butterfly Pose because of the movement of the legs during the posture, giving the appearance of a butterfly flapping its wings.

Paschimottanasana is also known as the Intense Dorsal Stretch pose as it engages the dorsal muscles of the back. ‘Paschima’ means your ‘back’ and ‘Uttana’ means ‘stretching’. This asana covers the stretching of the whole body from head to heels so it is called as Paschimottanasna.

Sarvangasana or shoulder stand is a yoga pose wherein the whole body is balanced on the shoulders. Sarvangasana influences the functioning of all parts of your body. This asana is highly beneficial in maintaining the mental and physical health and is also referred as ‘Queen of asanas’.

The Viparita Karani is a mild inversion and is also called the Inverted Lake Pose. Viparita Karani is known to diminish wrinkles and it can make you look younger. This posture will make your blood flow into various parts of your body that requires it. Viparita Karani is often done at the end of a yoga practice, before the final relaxation pose (Savasana) or meditation.

Bhujangasana – Cobra Pose
The name comes from the Sanskrit words bhujanga meaning ‘snake’ or ‘serpent’ and asana meaning ‘posture’ or ‘seat’. From a prone position with palms and legs on the floor, the chest is lifted.

In sanskrit ‘Bridge’ means ‘Setu’, ‘Bandha’ means ‘Lock’ and ‘Asana’ means ‘Pose’. The poses look like the shape of the bridge, so this pose is called as bridge pose. This rejuvenating backbend will open your chest up and keep your spine flexible. Setu Bandhasana will also help to prepare you for more intense backbends. Basically this pose is effective in relaxing the body and reducing stress.
