Eight-Angle Arm Balance Pose
"Astavakrasana" is named after the sage Astavakra Muni (Ashtabakra)
(then known as Subrata Muni) who was insulted by Indra. The muni was so enraged that he developed 8 curves in his body (Ashtabakra Muni means a sage with 8 curved cripples, probably kyphoscoliotic).
Ashtabakra Muni was blessed by lord Shiva after many years of tapas and meditation.
