For the area of Madrid in Spain, see Malasaña.
Traditionally, and in B. K. S. Iyengar's Light on Yoga, Malasana, or Garland Pose, is used for a different squatting pose with the feet together and the back rounded with multiple hand placement variations.[3] When the hands are bound around the back this pose is also called Kanchyasana ("golden belt pose").[2]
In the West, the name Malasana is also used for the "regular squat pose", also called upavesasana,[4] in which the hand palms are folded together in the so-called namaskar mudra in front of the chest, and the feet are set wider apart.
In the Sritattvanidhi, the name Malasana is given to bhujapidasana, the "shoulder press", in which the palms are placed on the ground, the body balancing on the hands, and the legs resting on the shoulders.[5]

The name Malasana is from the Sanskrit माला mālā, a garland, necklace, or rosary;[6] and आसन āsana, seat or posture. According to Iyengar, the name derives from the arms "hanging from the neck like a garland."[7]
The name malasana is used for four different asanas:[1][2][5]
The name malasana is sometimes used in the West for the "regular squat pose," Upaveśāsana,[4] in which the palms of the hands are folded together in Añjali Mudrā (prayer posture) in front of the chest, and the feet are set apart. Yoga Journal states that Malasana stretches the ankles, groins and back, and tones the belly, but cautions about using the asana when there are lower back or knee injuries.[8] A variant of this pose, Prapadasana, has the heels together and the feet on tiptoe.[9]
In the first variant, also called Kanchyasana ("golden belt pose"),[2] the feet are together with the arms wrapped around the back, while the chin touches the floor.[10]
In the second variant, the hands wrap around the heels, and touches the floor with the chin.[3][note 1]
The Sritattvanidhi, a 19th-century book on a number of subjects including asanas,[note 2] gives a different picture for Malasana in his plate 44.[5] In this picture, the palms are placed flat on the floor, arm stretched upright, and the whole body balancing on the hands, while the legs are held close to the body, with the heels hanging down from a position close to the shoulders. This pose is Bhujapidasana,[13] the "shoulder press."[11][note 3]
^ Iyengar mentions this as variant II.[3]
^ According to Sjoman, the Sritattvanidhi may have been written by one of the Rajahs of Mysore, Mummadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar (1794–1868).[11] It contains pictures of asanas apparently linked together in series, reminiscent of 20th century vinyasas.[12]
^ In this position, the arms are indeed "hanging from the neck like a garland,"[7] in contrast to Iyengar's squatting Mālāsana and Upavesasana.
