Gomukhasana
Cow Face Pose
Gomukhasana is a seated yoga posture that targets the shoulders, arms, and hips. The name "Gomukhasana" is derived from the Sanskrit words "Go" (meaning "cow") and "Mukha" (meaning "face"), as the pose resembles the face of a cow, with the arms forming the ears and the body forming the shape of the cow's face.
This asana is known to promote flexibility, open the chest, and increase hip mobility. It also provides a deep stretch for the shoulders, legs, and arms.
