Sarvangasana
Next to the headstand, this posture is considered one of the best asanas. It is often seen being practiced in many gymnasiums, beauty salons, and health clubs.
Sarvangasana is a counter pose for backbends such as Chakrasana. Viparita Karani - the "legs up the wall" pose - is a common modification. Matsyasana("Fish Pose") is a counter pose.
In Sarvangasana, as in Tadasana, your torso and legs should be perpendicular to the floor. There is a tendency to have the feet somewhat over the head, especially if the chest is not expanding fully into the chin.
