Half Lord of the Fishes (Ardha Matsyendrasana) is a classic spinal twist that dates back the very beginnings of Hatha Yoga.<\/p>\n

The pose is named after Matsyendra, the master yoga who founded the Hatha Yoga movement.\u00a0 Matsyendra is a legendary figure in yoga history and folklore.\u00a0 He is thought to have lived near the Bay of Bengal sometime between the seventh and tenth centuries.\u00a0 And ancient Tibetan hagiographies (biographies tracing the lineage of important gurus) name Matsyendra as one of eighty-four maha-siddhas (master yogis with magic powers).<\/p>\n

Bring a little magic to your class<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Re-telling the myths of the asanas is a wonderful way to conjure up the spirit of ancient yogic traditions.\u00a0\u00a0 The story of Matsyendra\u2019s life and extraordinary powers have been handed down over the centuries and preserved in Hindi mythology, ancient Tibetan hagiography (biographies of famous gurus) and the Hatha Pradipika.<\/p>\n

One of the legends told in the Tibetan text,\u00a0 reveals Matsyendra\u2019s\u00a0 original identity to be a fisherman\u00a0 known by the name of Mi\u0342na.\u00a0 One day while out on his boat, he catches a fish so big that it pulls him into the water and swallows him whole.\u00a0\u00a0 Protected by his good karma, Mi\u0342na does not perish, but lives on in the belly of the big fish.\u00a0\u00a0 Soon after, the fish swims near to the place where Shiva (Hindi Lord of Yoga) is teaching the secrets of yoga to his wife Parvati.\u00a0 Hidden inside the fish, Mina is able to listen to Shiva\u2019s instructions without being noticed.<\/p>\n

Shiva\u2019s instructions for yoga are lengthy, so when Parvati falls asleep, Shiva calls out to her, `are you listening?\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 But it is Mi\u0342na who replies `Yes, I am listening\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 Delighted by the discovery, of a man inside a fish, Shiva blesses Mi\u0342na, renaming him Matsyendra, (Lord of the Fishes ,matsya = fish, indra = lord)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Matsyendra continues to study with Shiva for the next twelve years until the monster fish is finally caught and he is cut free.\u00a0\u00a0 Matsyendra is said to have leapt out of the fish and assumed Complete Lord of the Fishes pose (a\u00a0 seated spinal twist taken in half lotus with an arm bind).\u00a0 This shape is said to have enhanced his ability to learn yoga.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Explore the pose and its meanings<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Like many of the legends surrounding yoga heroes and their poses, this story is a parable illustrating the yoga process at work.\u00a0\u00a0 During the twelve years Matsyendra studied yoga, he learned the tools needed to be a master yogi.<\/p>\n

The Pradipika describes the main benefit of the pose\u00a0 to be the awakening of\u00a0 kundalini-shakti\u00a0 (the sleeping serpent power coiled at the base of the spine).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This process is said to lead to a phenomenal burst of energy accompanied by a heightened awareness and feelings of bliss.\u00a0\u00a0 In the story, this experience is described as being set free from the body of a fish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Take a modern twist on an ancient tale<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As the legend suggests, Matsyendra was an expert at using the technology of the body to access the higher powers of the mind.\u00a0\u00a0 He and his fellow yogis understood the concept of body intelligence.\u00a0\u00a0 They also believed the kundalini-shakti\u00a0 to be the centre of that intelligence.\u00a0 And they rightly observed the spine to be the main structure connecting the energies of mind and body.\u00a0\u00a0 The dynamic twisting movement at work in this pose intends to force the energy (the sleeping serpent) located at the base of the spine (kundalini shakti) upwards towards the crown of the head.\u00a0 This process intends to awaken the power of the intelligent body and unite it with the power of the mind.<\/p>\n

The use of the breath is important to the pose \u2013 directing the flow of heating energy upwards on the inhale and the cooling energy of the mind downward on the exhale.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Modern neuroscience understands these currents of energy to be the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, alternately responsible for stimulating and calming the nervous system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Grounding, lengthening and breathing are the three key tools used in this pose.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The full pose uses the leg in half lotus to ground the hips, while the arm wrapped round the torso helps to lift the torso and support the spinal extension.\u00a0\u00a0 To ground the hips in Half Lord of the Fishes, press the thigh and outer edge of the foot into the floor.\u00a0\u00a0 The placement of a blanket or block under the hips may also be used to enable the spinal extension and lift the torso, making room for the twist.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the inhale, direct your students to lengthen the spine.\u00a0 To make the twist, invite your students to wrap their arms around the torso, gently lifting the ribcage and turning from the belly.\u00a0\u00a0 On the exhale release the arms \u2013 one hand to outside of the knee and the other to the base of the spine.\u00a0 Hold the pose for 5 \u2013 10 breathes, deepening the twist with each exhale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
