Hey everyone!
Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been moving house this weekend and it's taken quite a bit of time!

Today's word is मत्स्य. It's pronounced muts-yuh in English and means fish. You see this word used in combination with असन (asana, or pose) to make मत्स्यासन matsyasana, or fish pose.
Say it with me now — matsyasana. Matsyasana!
Matsyasana is a great counter-pose to shoulder stance and plough poses, as it extends your spine in the opposite direction. It's important to keep your chest open wide in this position to help extend your spine. I really enjoy looking at the world upside-down in this pose, viewing the world as a child might.
Thanks for reading. You've got another Sanskrit word under your belt! For tips on learning how to read and write in Sanskrit in its native script, read my post here.
Thank you! Until next week.
नमस्ते,
Tyler
