Kukkutasana is a yoga pose that gets its name from the Sanskrit words "kukkuta" (which means "rooster" or "cock") and "asana" (which means "pose"). When you do kukkutasana, you try to balance on your hands with your legs wrapped around your arms like a rooster's wings.
To do kukkutasana, you first sit down with your legs straight out in front of you. Then you bring your feet up and cross your ankles, trying to get them as close to your hips as possible. Next, you bend your knees and lift your hips off the ground, sliding your arms through the gap between your legs. You press your hands onto the ground and try to lift your feet off the ground too. If you're successful, you'll be balancing on your hands with your legs folded up like a rooster's wings.
Kukkutasana is a challenging pose that requires a lot of strength in your arms, shoulders, and core. It can also help stretch your hip flexors and improve your balance. But just like a rooster, it's important to be patient and persistent when practicing kukkutasana. With practice, you can become a master of this rooster-themed yoga pose!
