Supported shoulder stand pose. Sarvang is a Sanskrit word meaning 'all limbs' or 'complete body'. This posture benefits the complete body.
Two legs reach up as one, thighs and knees spiral inward. Reach the tailbone toward the heels.
Benefits: This posture is an inversion that reverses the effects of gravity, decompresses the spine and helps re-align the arms with the shoulders * Improves energy balance and metabolism by wringing out the thyroid and parathyroid glands in the throat.
Be cautious of the following: This is a shoulder stand and not a neck-stand. Do not turn the head from side to side while in this posture * If this is difficult, try adding a blanket under the shoulders with the back of the head on the floor to preserve a curved space beneath the lower neck * Try to avoid this posture during menstruation.
