Sarvangasana, also known as the Shoulder Stand, is often called the “Queen of all Yoga Poses.” In this asana, the entire body is balanced on the shoulders, while the legs point upward. It’s a powerful inversion that rejuvenates the body, calms the mind, and boosts overall vitality. This blog is presented by Swami Vivekananda Yoga Kendra, dedicated to promoting holistic wellness through yoga, acupuncture, and natural healing practices.
The name comes from Sanskrit words — Sarva meaning “all” and Anga meaning “limbs or parts.” Thus, Sarvangasana means a pose that benefits the entire body.
