What is another word for counter pose?
Pronunciation: [kˈa͡ʊntə pˈə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
Counter pose, also known as contrasting pose, refers to a yoga position performed immediately after another to offer balance to the body. In yoga practice, the counter pose is essential for avoiding any imbalances that might be caused by holding one yoga posture for an extended period. There are various counter poses in yoga, including Upavistha Konasana (wide-angle seated forward bend) for Paschimottanasana (seated forward bend), Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (bridge pose) for Halasana (plow pose), among others. The use of counter poses in yoga practice offers an opportunity for creating balance and helps to release tension and stress in the body after a challenging yoga posture.
