Plow Pose
Halasana
“Plow Pose” · Pronounced hah-LAH-sah-nah
Plow Pose (Halasana) is an intermediate inversion pose. A deep, quiet fold from an inversion — long through the whole spine.
Halasana comes from hala (plow) and asana (pose) — the legs sweep overhead toward the floor, the shape of an old farming plow.

Common questions about Plow Pose
What does Halasana mean?
Halasana comes from hala (plow) and asana (pose) — the legs sweep overhead toward the floor, the shape of an old farming plow.
Is Plow Pose safe for beginners?
Approach it carefully and ideally after Shoulderstand with a teacher. Use a blanket under the shoulders, rest the feet on a chair if they don't reach, and avoid it with neck issues or uncontrolled blood pressure.
What does Plow Pose stretch?
The whole back body — spine, shoulders and hamstrings — and as an inversion it can feel calming. Follow it with a gentle backbend like Fish to balance the neck.
What sizes does the Plow Pose print come in?
Three sizes: 8×12" (£19.99), 16×24" (£25.99) and 24×36" (£39.99). Every print ships unframed. Free UK shipping over £60.
