Sarvangasana, mother of the postures. Has the meaning of “complete asana” “complete posture” “all limbs pose. 

It has multiple benefits:
•Improves digestion.
•Increase blood circulation to upper body and brains.
•Calms down the nerves by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. 
•Improves immune system, by stimulating the lymphatic system. 
•Strengthens the  upper body (neck, upper back and shoulders)
•Helps flexibility on the spine.
• Triggers the Vishuddha ( Throat Chakra) Stimulates  the fifth chakra associated with expression, creativity, and communication.
When this chakra is ignited, we can easily transform the negative feelings into the pearls of wisdom and learning. The opening of the fifth chakra harmoniously attunes the person with inner and outer vibrations.

In general, asanas that position the head below the heart or the feet above the heart bring harmony to body and mind and should be considered a crucial component of any yoga practice 🙏🏽🙃
