Its "Ardha Matsyendrasana" pose

I’m a bad yogi. I don’t know a ton of Sanskrit. I think if I had a teacher where I was involved in called poses, I would know more. I could study this on my own (and I have many times- I know a lot of primary and second), but I’m more interested in the practice (inner and outer 😊).
Hehe a sinister yogini :) I started to learn a little sanskrit to get a little better understanding of yoga and life itself, and as i already speak three languages from the Indo-European family, it is easier for me to learn than Japanese for example :) Also I want to be able to read the yoga sutras in Sanskrit one day, there are so many interpretations and translations but I want to interpret and translate it my way :)
Thank you for correction.
