I am looking for the name of a yoga pose it is an inversion while standing with your hands…your legs are in the air and at the same time in the splits postition…The splits that are out towards your hips not frontward…I saw it at a convention and would like to practice it…Thanks for any help
In Sanskrit it is called adho muhka vrksasana (downward facing tree) in sama konasana (same angle). However, most people know adho mukha vrksasana as a basic handstand, normally practiced with your legs straight up. The variation that you describe shows the legs in a sideway split called sama konasana (normally done on the floor). The combination of both poses is simply what I have written above.
