Matsyasana (Fish) Yoga Posture
Start in the supine position lying flat on the floor. Place the hands in between the buttocks and the lower back with the palms facing down.
Lift the chest and abdomen as high as possible placing the crown of the head on the floor, supporting the posture with the upper extremities (arms, elbows, forearms, clavicle, scapula) without applying pressure on the neck. This posture helps to open the chest, works the inner hip muscles and requires a strong neck, release the pose in case of any discomfort.
To come out release the arms and head bringing the back down to the floor.
