Reverse Prayer Pose _ VIPARITA NAMASKARASANA

The VIPARITA NAMASKARASANA is an interesting pose, called “Reverse prayer pose” and performed in the “Diamond Pose”. In this pose Viparita Namaskarasana, the word “Viparita” means “Behind, or reverse” (in simple terms, the meaning of Viparita is – “on the contrary”) and the word “Namaskar” means “respect”. Normally, to show respect, we can cross our arms (Namaskar) close to the chest in front, but in the Viparita Namaskar pose, it is the complete opposite of normal pose. Here you have to put your hands behind your back, which is why this asana is called the reverse prayer pose. The Viparita Namaskarasana pose is easy to do and has many health benefits.
