Yoga postures � ardha matsyendrasana I
-
Ardha matsyendrasana I is named after Matsyendra, the god of fish. It is the first and relatively easiest asana from a series of three intensive seated torsion postures that prepare the body for full (paripurna) matsyendrasana. This yoga exercise mainly trains the back, whereby the vertebrae are turned in a spiral with respect to each other. Ardha matsyendrasana trains numerous muscle groups. It is the ideal asana for those with stiff hips, shoulders and neck. Ustrasana, baddha konasana, paschimottanasana and the standing twisted postures, such as parivrtta trikonasana, are good preparatory exercises for the "sitting half-torsion I".
