<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2></div>

<p>One foot is placed flat on the floor outside the opposite leg, and the torso twists towards the top leg. The bottom leg may be bent with the foot outside the opposite hip or extended with toes vertically. The arms help lever the torso into the twist, and may be bound in a variety of configurations by clutching either a foot or the opposite hand.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Variations">Variations</h2></div>

<p>For Ardha Matsyendrasana I, sit with one leg bent on the ground, the foot tucked in close to the body, and cross the other leg over across the body, the knee raised and bent, and the foot on the ground by the outside of the other leg. Twist the body and grasp the raised knee. Some practitioners will be comfortable bringing the arm over to press against the raised knee, without leaning back; some can clasp the hands behind the back.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEIyengar1979259–262,_270–273_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEIyengar1979259–262,_270–273-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Ardha Matsyendrasana II has one leg straight out on the ground, the other bent as for <a href="Lotus_position" title="Lotus position">Padmasana</a>; the hand on the bent leg side grasps the outside of the outstretched boot, and the other hand reaches round the back to grasp the calf of the bent leg.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEIyengar1979259–262,_270–273_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEIyengar1979259–262,_270–273-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Ardha Matsyendrasana III is entered from Ardha Matsyendrasana I. The bottom leg moves into Padmasana, and the arms bind by grasping both feet.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEIyengar1979259–262,_270–273_11-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEIyengar1979259–262,_270–273-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>For the reclining variant, Supta Matsyendrasana, starting from a supine position, the arms are stretched out at shoulder level, one knee is bent, and it and the hips are rotated across to the opposite side.<sup id="cite_ref-YB_Supta_Matsyendrasana_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-YB_Supta_Matsyendrasana-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
