Ardha Anuvittasana
Ardha means half

Start out very gently and go deep in in the vinyasa flow.
Standing backbend is a wonderful heart-opening pose. It helps to release tension, especially in the neck and shoulders. This pose helps to open up the respiratory system for deeper, fuller breath.
Standing Backbend is also a fantastic preparatory pose for any deep backbend like Wheel, Bow or Camel pose.
Start your morning yoga practice with the standing asanas.
Anuvittasana is a standing back bending asana.
You also start with a morning yoga continues flow and add Ardha Anuvittasana in that.
We do same asana in surya namaskar as well but only with a slight back bend and call it hastuttansana.
Start with feet close together and the hands in prayer position. Stand tall, inhale. Keep the eyes on the fingers and extend the arms straight overhead. Drop the tailbone toward the heels and firm down through the buttocks and inner thighs. Press into the feet and lift the heart, extending the chest up.
Stay in the pose for as long as you can.
Slowly and gently come back up.
