Unsolved:Sarvangasana
From HandWiki
Sarvangasana (/ˌsɑːrvɑːnˈɡɑːsɑːnɑː/ SAR-vahn-GAH-sah-nah[1] Sanskrit: सर्वाङ्गासन; IAST: sarvāṅgāsana; pronounced [sərʋəŋgɑːsənə]) or Shoulderstand is an āsana.
Many variations of the shoulderstand exist, the likely most common to be taught is Supported Shoulderstand (Salamba Sarvangāsana).[2]
Sarvangāsana is nicknamed "queen" or "mother" of all the asanas.[3][4][5]
Etymology
The name in the case of Salamba Sarvāngāsana (Supported Shoulderstand) comes from the Sanskrit words Salamba meaning "supported", Sarva meaning "all" or "every", Anga meaning "limb" or "bodypart",[6] and Āsana meaning "posture"," position", or "seat",[7] thus Salamba Sarvāngasana literally translates to "supported-all-limbs-pose".
