The name comes from the Sanskrit शलभा "shalabh" which means "grasshopper" or "locust", and आसन āsana, "pose".
The pose is not found in the medieval hatha yoga texts. It is described independently in Swami Vishnudevananda's 1960 Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga in the Sivananda Yoga tradition, and by B. K. S. Iyengar in his 1966 Light on Yoga, implying that it may have older origins.
It gives strength to back, shoulders, arms forearms.
Balances the Manipura Chakra.
The internal organs are stimulated and the body’s acid-base balance is regulated. Kidney function is stimulated.
Gives strength to the leg, pelvic and back muscles.
Encourages good posture and a slim figure.
People suffering from back, shoulder injury, and arthritis should avoid this asana.
Practice under guidance and don't hold the pose for long, retaining breath in case if you have been through any heart surgery, attacks, asthma attacks, high BP, glaucoma.
