Fish Pose

Today, I'll illustrate Fish Pose.

This is the asana you do after shoulder stand, because shoulder stand builds up a lot of heat in the neck/throat area, and this releases the heat. When you first enter Fish Pose after shoulder stand, you can actually feel the warmth dissipating. It's very interesting.

This version of the pose requires much the same skill level as another pose I've mentioned, Savasana (corpse pose,) which you execute by there on your back and doing nothing. And then falling asleep.

The not-so-easy version of Fish Pose:

The worst part about the second version of Fish Pose is how it magically increases the size of your lower body while making your arm all misshapen and wavy. Plus, it's an ab workout, and really, who likes those?

And no, I don't have a clue what this has to do with fish.
