Gomukhasana is a seated yoga posture that stretches several parts of the body simultaneously, including the ankles, hips, thighs, shoulders, underarms, triceps and chest. The name comes from the Sanskrit go, meaning "cow," mukha, meaning "face," and asana, meaning "pose."
To perform this asana, the practitioner sits with the spine straight. The knees are bent so that the left foot goes under the right knee, to the outside of the right hip. Then the right leg goes over the left, so that the right knee stacks on top of the left. The right arm is bent and brought behind the back, while the left arm is brought over the left shoulder. The hands attempt to touch behind the back. This process is repeated on the opposite side.
Gomukhasana is commonly referred to as cow face pose in English.
