Salamba Sarvangasana

Salamba Sarvangasana-Supported whole body pose is an incredible asana that most should do whether supported in a chair or as shown in the pictures below.  In Light on Yoga, BKS Iyengar describes Sarvangasana as: "...one of the greatest boons conferred on humanity by our ancient sages. Sarvangasana is the Mother of asanas. As a mother strives for happiness in the home,  so this asana strives for the harmony and happiness of the human system."

Here are a few more reasons to practice this pose:
