Good article. Thank you.
is this pose also known as VipareethaKarani Mudra...???
In Viparit Karani mudra usually wall is not used and it is similar to sarvangasana. The difference between sravangasana and viparit karani is in the former legs are perpendicular to the ground where as in viparit karani it is between 60 to 45 degrees from the ground.
