Kasyapasana Yoga:

Kasyapasana, is an advanced variation on Vasisthasana, or side plank, which requires strength, control and mobility in the hips to perform. Its name comes from the name of the sage, Kasyapa, to whom the pose is dedicated to, and the Sanskrit word, asana, which means "seat" or "pose".
