Shashankasana Or Sharnaghat Mudra
- ‘Shashank’ means rabbit and the asana is very similar to Balasana (child’s pose) when it is done to relax your back muscles
- When it is done to bring about a sense of peace and surrender, it is then called as a mudra or a gesture. ‘Sharnaghat’ refers to surrender, so, Surrender Gesture.
