What is a supta?

"Supta" is a Sanskrit term meaning "reclined" or "lying down." In yoga, it often refers to poses performed in a supine position, where the practitioner lies on their back. These poses can promote relaxation, flexibility, and restorative benefits. Examples include Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclined Bound Angle Pose) and Supta Padangusthasana (Reclined Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose).
