Legs Up the Wall Pose
Its Sanskrit name, “Viparita Karani” (VIP-uh-REE-tuh kah-RAH-nee), literally translates to “inverted action.” When you take time out of your day to reverse the forward motions of doing, acting, and accomplishing, you allow your brain and body to settle into a state of pure being.
Moutain Pose

A lot of time referred to as it's Sanskrit name as Tadasana (tah-DAHS-uh-nuh) - Mountain Pose is just that, your acting like a big strong mountain. This may look like Meddy Teddy is just standing there but really he is fully engaged in this pose.
Lotus Pose
