Natarajasana (nata = actor, dancer) (raja = King) (asana = posture)<\/p>\n

Also referred to as the lord of the dance takes its name from the Hindu God Shiva also known as nataraj in his form of the cosmic dancer.<\/p>\n

Inhale and lift your left arm towards the sky along with lengthening the upper back and chest.
