Ardha (n.) = Half
Matsya (n.) = Fish
Indra (n.) = King
Asana (n.) = Pose
Though transliterating this Asana may be called as King of fish pose, it is not called in such a way. The Asana has been invented by a sage named Matsyendranath, and hence is named after him.
The Asana does exert pressure on the Pancreas which is responsible for secretion of the hormone insulin that regulates the blood sugar.
Hence Matsyendrasana is excellent for fighting diabetes. The above figure illustraes an approach to achieving the Ardha Matsyendrasana, which is a difficult Asana in itelf. In the next few posts, I shall publish the approach and finally reach the Ardha Matsyendrasana.

Durga,
This is amazing! Seeing you after a long time. Hope all is well with you :)))

yeah, all's well :) as yuo can see for yourself. But the issue is time which is in kind of short supply. Getting a picture shot and loaded calls for much!
Practice is going on well, though, as well as my reading - they are on their full sail!
Durga,
I think you don't have a single bone in your body - how can you be so flexible?
Envious Julia :)))
Well Julia,
Only two comments are perhaps called for here - :)
1) I quite painfully know that I have bones when I try those Asanas which I have just started and still am nowhere near them.
2) I know only one way to go - the way of sadhana. The kindred souls who embark on this endless journey will know this too.
Good blog.
Dear Durga,
Happy New Year!
Julia
