Sarvangasana (Sanskrit: सर्वाङ्गासन, romanized: sarvāṅgāsana), Shoulder stand, or more fully Salamba Sarvangasana (Supported Shoulder stand),[1] is an inverted asana in modern yoga as exercise; similar poses were used in medieval hatha yoga as a mudra.
Many named variations exist, including with legs in lotus position and Supta Konasana with legs wide apart, toes on the ground.
Sarvāṅgāsana has been nicknamed the "queen" or "mother" of all the asanas.[2][3][4]
