<\/span>What is Karnapidasana?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nKarnapidasana is a forward-bend yoga pose in the inverted position. Karnapidasana is a combination of Sanskrit words: \u2018Karna\u2019 means ear, \u2018pida\u2019 means pressure or squeeze, and \u2018asana\u2019 means pose. In the final position, the body forms an inverted forward-bend position, and pressure is felt on the ears; hence, it is called the ear-pressure pose. The Karnapidasana yoga pose is classified as an intermediate level of the forward-bending pose 1<\/a><\/sup>\u200b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
