why is ustrasana called camel pose?
Ustra is Sanskrit for “Camel,” and asana is Sanskrit for “seat” or “pose.” So, Ustrasana is “Camel Pose.” This backbend is named after a Camel because it makes your body resemble a camel hump. It is also thought the name may derive from the way a camel bends its knees and folds its legs beneath its body to sit.
