Crocodile is one of many yoga postures that imitate animals; in this pose our arms form the 'jaws' of the Crocodile, our raised upper back resembling the ridge running down the spine of the reptile. Nakrasana offers a place to rest during back bending sequences without having to come into a counterpose; it is also good for transition into Cobra and Locust. It appears in modified form in Yoga For Better Sleep

This posture is a staple of any yoga practice as a relaxation pose and a transition posture. Balasana stretches the broad muscles of the back and relieves lower back strain as well as being a very soothing posture. Assume childÕs pose whenever you feel a need to rest in any yoga flow; it is featured in all flows on Yogayak.com.
