Transcription
Etymology and origins
The name comes from the Sanskrit word पाश, pāśa meaning "noose" or "snare",[1] and आसन, asana meaning "posture" or "seat".[2]
The pose is described and illustrated in the 19th century Sritattvanidhi; a slightly different pose is described in the 1966 Light on Yoga.[3]
Description
In this yoga asana, the human body creates a 'noose' when the practitioner wraps their arms around their squatting legs (from Upaveshasana) with their hands clasped behind their back, while twisting to one side.[4]
