    La Sylphe is doing [variation of;]Cobra [naga-asana or bhujanga-asana] Let the body, from navel to toes, touch the ground, the palms placed upon the ground, and raise gently the upper part of the body (from navel to head) like a snake. This posture increases the gastric fire; it destroys all diseases and by constant practice leads to the awakening of Kundalini.” The Gheranda-samhita II.42-43 [It’s one of my favorite asanas,highly recommended for all sorts of troubles,trust me;] I should try to track down some more yoga practicing dancers,we also had Adoree Villany some time ago;] [image from NYPL of course]
