Arising from the quiet repose of The Child’s Pose, The Rabbit (Sasangasana) is considered a gentle inversion. Nevertheless, it involves strong work in the shoulders and arms lengths the spine and strengths the back through traction. It is known to provide strong stimulation to the immune and endocrine systems, and reduces fatigue in the brain. Indeed, this modest looking asana belies its many powerful benefits.
Mr. Land’s interpretation of Sasangasana has the quiet beauty and simplicity of design that belies its many powerful benefits. Beautifully rendered, it is has look of naturalism and as well, the idealized embodiment of the human form that suggests the Beaux Arts tradition.
