Sign description:

Of the three water signs, Scorpio's energy is the most strong-willed, intense and passionate. While Pisces vacillates and Cancer avoids, Scorpio is direct and sometimes confrontational. Scorpio penetrates to the heart of matters, lets go of the unnecessary baggage, and pursues its quest with passion and power until it transforms into something new and stronger.

Yoga postures associated with Scorpio:

Power and renewal. Opening up. Flowing with the energy. The camel/abdominal series absorbs the energy of Scorpio through back-bending positions that stretch and tone the abdominal muscles and counter-poses that allow you to contract those same muscles and massage your internal organs. The postures also improve flexibility of the spine and neck.
