শীর্ষপদাসন

যোগশাস্ত্রে বর্ণিত আসন বিশেষ। মাথায় পা রেখে শীর্ষাসন  ভঙ্গিমাই হলো শীর্ষপদাসন। এটি শীর্ষাসনের একটি বর্ধিত প্রকরণ বিশেষ।

Sirsa padasana is an advanced backbend combined with a headstand. The name comes from the Sanskrit, sirsa, meaning “head”; pada, meaning “foot” or “feet”; and asana, meaning “pose” or “posture.”

To practice the pose, the yogi takes sirsasana (headstand) with the forearms resting on the ground, the hands clasped and the head resting in the triangle formed by the forearms. The legs then drop toward the back of the head as in vrishchikasana (scorpion pose). The drishti is toward the nose.
