Hello, all. I'm a young sport enthusiast - I climb, do acrobatics and a little gymnastics am looking to maintain a high degree of flexibility (more than I already do). I don't do alot of yoga, although it's something I'm looking into. ANYWAY -
This is a pose I'm particularly interested in 
Anyway, can anyone tell me what it's called? (so I can look it up) and any poses etc that lead up to it?
Thank you for any help 
Looks like very advanced version of salabhasana. :lol:
This is a variation of Scorpion pose “Vrischikasana”, classic pose is done balanced on the forearms. In the book "Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha by Swami Styananda Saraswati, it is written:
“Vrischikasana also has a psychological significance. The head, which is the seat of knowledge, is also the seat of pride, anger, hatred, jealousy, intolerance and malice. These emotions are more deadly than the poison which the scorpion carries in its sting. The yogi, by stamping on his own head with his feet, attempts to eradicate these self-destroying emotions and passions. Thus he seeks to develop humility, calmness and tolerance, and to become free from ego, for subjugation of the ego leads to harmony and happiness.”
