Purna Matsyendrasan Yoga Asana:

The yoga pose Matsyendrasana is named after the great yogi Matsyendranath. Purna Matsyendrasana is the advanced version of Ardha Matsyendrasana. In English, it is called as 'full spinal twist pose'. Most people can do Ardha matsyendrasana easily. However, to perform purna matsyendrasana, there is a need for sufficient practice and flexibility thereby to skip injuries to the body. It is one of the excellent asanas for the health of the spine and back.
