Answer 2

Answer:

1. Cobra Pose – Bhujangasana

Cobra Pose is a common beginner’s pose, and it’s clear why this pose is named after a snake. “Bhujanga” means “serpent” in Sanskrit, as the pose mimics a serpent rising to strike. This pose benefits the chest, shoulders, spine, and buttocks.

2. Swan Pose – Hamsasana

Hamsasana or “Swan Pose” is a yoga asana that resembles a swan when performed. Benefits of Hamsasana range from improved digestion to strengthening of the arms and abdominal muscles. In Sanskrit, ‘Hamsa’ means the swan and hence the name Hamsasana.

4. Camel Pose – Ustrasana

Often considered one of the more difficult backbends, the Camel Pose is a great stretch for the whole body, with a particular focus on the throat, chest, abdomen, hips, and thighs. It can lead to lightheadedness, so beginners should be careful not to bend their necks too far backward.

5. Butterfly Pose – Badhakonasana

The posture is named Badhakonasana because of the way it is carried out – both the feet tucked close to the groin, clasped tightly with the hands as though tied or bound together in a particular angle. It is also popularly known as the Butterfly Pose because of the movement of the legs during the posture, giving the appearance of a butterfly flapping its wings.

The posture is also sometimes known as the Cobbler Pose as it resembles the sitting position of a cobbler at work. Practicing Baddhakonasana strengthens and improves flexibility in the inner thighs, groins, and the knees.
