Ardha Salabhasana (Half Locust Pose), Health Benefits And Steps To Do Ardha Salabhasana

Ardha Salabhasana Yoga & Its Health Benefits

Ardha Shalabhasana is a Sanskrit name that denotes this attitude in three basic terms: Ardha, Shalabha and Asana. The term “Ardha” refers to “half” “Shalabha” means “locust” “Asana” is “posture” During this posture, the body resembles a locust, similar to the basic position of the Shalabhasana from which it originates. The only difference is that here we have to lift one leg at a time which explains the prefix “ardha” and the name ardha shalabhasana. It is also known by names like Half-Locust Pose or Locust Pose Torso On Floor One-Leg Up.
