What is Sasangasana?

Sasamgasana or Sasangasana is an inverting pose that maintains mobility and elasticity of the spine and back muscles. It is also called the hare pose or the rabbit pose because in Sanskrit the sasa or sasamaga means hare or rabbit. It is a good pose to practice before meditation as it refreshes the brain.
