  Akarshana Dhanurasana - Pulled Bow Pose
"Akarshana" means "pulling" and "Dhanus" means "bow" in Sanskrit. In this posture, the big toes are pulled up     to the ear (alternately) as an archer pulls back the string of his bow and gets ready to shoot an arrow.

Ardha Matsyendrasana - The Half-Spinal Twist
"Ardha" means "half" in Sanskrit. Since the full posture is difficult to be practiced, the half-posture, which is     easier, is followed widely. This posture was first promoted by the great Yogi Matsyendranath, one of the founders  of Hatha Yoga, and hence the name.


 
 

Ardha Halasana - The Half-Plough Pose
"Ardha" means 'half' and 'Hala' means 'plough' in.
