Scorpion pose is an advanced posture that is both an inversion and a backbend. This pose requires a lot of shoulder strength, as well as balance and flexibility. The practitioner must also trust their body and overcome their fear of falling.
To enter this posture, the practitioner assumes a forearm balance (pincha mayurasana). Then the back arches and the knees are bent so that the feet dangle close to the head.
Scorpion pose gets its name from the fact that the body is shaped like a scorpion's tail when it's poised to strike. The Sanskrit name for scorpion pose is vrschikasana.
