Halasana is a folded inversion, traditionally considered a finishing pose that may be practiced at the end of a yoga session. As a finishing pose, it helps prepare the body for relaxation, pranayama and meditation.
The name comes from the Sanskrit hala meaning “plow,” and asana, meaning “pose.” Therefore, halasana is also referred to as plow pose in English.
