Suryanamaskar is considered a part of modern-day yogic practices though it was neither considered an asana nor a part of traditional Yoga. Practicing Suryanamaskar before beginning routine activities vitalizes the practitioner and gives a completely energized day. Starting from the Raja of Aundh who first introduced surya namaskar, there is a line of eminent people who popularized this dynamic group of asanas including T Krishnamacharya, Swami Sivananda, Swami Satyananda from Bihar school of Yoga, so on and so forth.

Shalabhasana is derived from the Sanskrit words ‘Shalabha,’ meaning locust, and ‘asana’ meaning pose. Together, they form a locust pose wherein the posture looks like a locust. It is one of the thirty-two yoga poses taught in the Gheranda Samhita.
 

Shalabhasana procedure entails that one does the posture by lying on their belly and lifting their lower body off the ground. Thus, the body will rest on the belly. And during this process, you must keep your legs and hands straight. The palms are slightly pushed under the thigh, and the spine is bent backward.

This asana enhances flexibility and strengthens muscles around the spinal column. The asana is a ‘guard’ against constipation and back pain. Adrenal gland, liver, and kidney are most benefited.

The Rabbit pose, known as Shashankasana in Sanskrit, is inspired by the sight of a rabbit lowering its head to the ground. Rabbits are known for their alertness, agility, and flexibility in navigating difficult spaces. Practising this pose helps embody the qualities of a rabbit and let their inner self connect with nature. It is excellent for clearing emotional and mental clutter. It is a great alternative to the camel pose. This pose helps strengthen your spine by lengthening the space between the vertebrae.
