Matsyasana 2 (Fish Pose 2)

Fish Pose stretches the front of your body, including the chest, abdomen, hip flexors, neck, and back, as well as engaging portions of the body that are frequently overlooked in yoga asanas.

Matsyasana, or the fish position, is a traditional Asana–for the extremities. The way the legs are folded in this Asana resembles a fish’s tail, while the rest of the body portrays its torso and head. It is also capable of floatation in water.
