What is Scorpion Pose:

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Yoga Master Akshar said, “Vrischikasana, also known as Scorpion Pose, is a dynamic and powerful pose. This is an advanced level pose that you can start to explore when you have developed ample core strength and shoulder mobility through a regular yoga practice. An inversion, Scorpion Pose can require back bending and imitates the position of a scorpion that is ready to strike.”

Remain in the posture for at least 30 seconds

Health benefits:

The Scorpion Pose comes with multiple health benefits. It helps in strengthening the arm, core and shoulders. It also helps in flexing the spine and enhancing digestion. Practising Scorpion Pose also helps in boosting blood circulation to the upper body and improving the sense of balance.
