Are you wondering, “What is Astavakrasana”? Astavakrasana is also referred to as the eight-fold pose. This is a hand-balancing yoga pose that helps to strengthen the abdominal muscles. Malaika Arora captioned the Instagram post as: 

“Hey there everyone! Firstly, wishing all those who are celebrating, a Happy Onam! Spend some amazing time with your families and enjoy your Sadhya!

After some Onam indulgence, time for some Onam stretches with my #malaikasmoveoftheweek And don’t forget to tag me, @sarvayogasudios and @thedivayoga when you post!

- Try to reach right knee as high as possible on the left arm.
- To support the position place both palms on the bricks on the higher side of your hips and keep straightening your left leg.
- Lift your body off the floor (with both legs) and bring the foot forward your body to join left and right ankle.
- Now bend your arms to 90 degrees and slowly shift the weight of your body forward while keeping your position parallel to the floor. Simultaneously, move both legs over to the left.
