Matsya (n.) = Fish
Asana (n.) = Posture
Someday before I talked about Saral Matsyasana.
This picture below is the first step toward the Matsyasana. Lie on your back and do a Padmasana. The legs in Padmasana assume the shape of the tail of a fish - perhaps more specifically a Rohu fish.
When I started relearning Matsyasana (lost after a long non-practice since the childhood days) about three years ago, I found it tough to do exactly what has been done in the photograph above. Though I was able to do the padmasana, and lie down, but the legs would stay up, without touching the ground. Even now I am not able to do it if I am doing Padmasana with my right leg first.
