Benefits of the Half Lord of the Fishes Pose: This variation will energize the spine and can be therapeutic for those with asthma. It will help with back pain, fatigue, and menstrual discomfort. Try Ardha Matsyendrasana at home and let us know what you think!

- When you’re sitting on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you, bend your knees and put your feet on the floor.
- Slide your left foot under your right leg to the side of your right hip.
- The right foot should go over the left leg to the outside of your left hip.
- The right knee should point toward the ceiling.
- Twist toward the inside of the right thigh and press your hands against the floor to the outside of your body.
- Sit up straight and lengthen your torso.

Modifications: If it is difficult to get your torso against you inner thigh, retry this position when you’re arm’s length from a wall. Before twisting, press against the wall with your arms. Push your torso toward your knee.
