Kukkutasana (Sanskrit: कुक्कुटासन; IAST: Kukkuṭāsana), Cockerel Pose,[1] or Rooster Posture[2] is an arm-balancing asana in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, derived from the seated Padmasana, lotus position.[3] It is one of the oldest non-seated asanas. Similar hand-balancing poses known from the 20th century include Pendant Pose or Lolasana, and Scale Pose or Tulasana.[4]
