This pose is called Karnapidasana (ear pressure pose (choking pose); same as Pasini Mudra (seal of the noose).
Exercise caution if the neck is sensitive.
An easier version
When in Halasana, bend both knees and rest them on the floor on either side of your head. Either stretch both arms along the floor, away from body, or hold the feet.
Tradition Version
Pasini mudra, the Folded Seal.
Start in the easier version above,then when the knees are securely in place, wrap arms around the back of the knees and cup ears with hands, or touch fingertips behind the neck.
There are other variations in padmasana
Namaste,
Rod
