Salabhasana (Locust Pose)

Have I done this? Probably at some point, on one of those days that made my guts sore.

Salabhasana (Locust Pose)
Locust Pose is an effective means for strengthening the back of the torso, legs, and arms in preparation for the deeper, presumably “adult” backbends.
Grouped among the so-called “baby backbends,” which includes Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) and Sea Monster Pose (described in the Variations section below), it is an unassuming pose that, like other seemingly simple poses, is actually a lot more interesting and challenging than it appears at first glance.

salabha = grasshopper, locust
