Half Tree
Despite the name, not a standing pose: in his 1905 „Yogasopana Purvacatuska“, Yogi Ghamande shows an inversion. The body rests on the head and the legs point straight up: a tree standing on its crown.
💡 Did you know? The name misleads today: what modern yoga books call „half tree“ is a one-legged standing balance. The 1905 plate means something else: Wikimedia Commons files it under the headstand variants (Sirsasana).
