Matsyasana Or Fish Pose To Relieve Pain In Neck & Shoulders
This asana has been derived from the Sanskrit term, like any other yoga pose, in which "Matsya" means fish and "asana" as usual means pose.
This pose is so named because if this pose carried out in water, it will help the body to float, like in the case of the fishes.
This pose helps to strengthen the flexor and intercostals and the muscles between the ribs. Also, it provides relief from tension and stress, stretches the throat, shoulder and neck.

Step-By-Step Instructions To Perform The Asana
1 Lie down straight on your back, with your feet together, body relaxed and hands by the sides of your body.
2 Now, place your hands with your palms beneath your hips and get your elbows close towards each other. Fold your thighs and legs, as done in case of sitting on floor position.
3 Inhale and lift up your chest and head.
4 Get your head as back as you can, keeping your neck stretched, so that the crown portion touches the floor and chest is in an elevated position.
5 Your elbows should be firmly placed on the ground, so that the body doesn't miss the balance. In short, your mass weight should rely on the elbows and not on your head. Keeping your abdomen down, lift your upper chest. Your thighs and legs should be in a folded position.
6 Retain the pose as long as you can, say initially for a minute by gently inhaling and exhaling. Don't stretch your neck too much. Just relax.
