Yoga posture - Karnapidasana
Translation: Pressure on the Ears

This is another popular yoga posture that is done in combination with a
shoulderstand sequence. Karnapidasana sequences very well with Urdhva Mukha Paschimottasana,
Yoganidrasana and Halasana above. It is also good to do a variation
that is half way between this pose and Halasana. This can be done by
simply bending on knee beside the ear instead of both.
A side version of this yoga posture can also be performed by simple
placing both knees over to one side of the head.
