  • Yoga: Three reasons you should not do Fish  By : Subodh Gupta
    The Fish pose does not look like a fish but if it is performed in water it enables a person to float like a fish, hence the name. In this posture the chest is fully expanded and stretched, and the breathing becomes fuller.

    The Fish pose should be practiced after the Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana) and the Plough pose (Halasana) because it gives the neck an effective counter stretch and because it opens and releases any muscular tension of the chest after performing Shoulderstand and Plough. When these postures are practiced together the activity of the thyroid gland is regulated; a hypo active gland is stimulated and a hyper active gland is pacified.
