Supta Vajrasana

6 mins

This class explores ways to approach Supta Vajrāsana safely with or without help. Begin by grounding the thighs and committing to a head-first entry, then use arms pulling on the feet (or straps if needed) to open the chest while keeping the legs anchored. Variations include: sitting upright with bound feet to simulate the action, lowering into Matsyāsana for maximum arch, or practicing with a couch, helper, or cross-legged setup if Lotus isn’t available. Blocks under the head give stepwise support, while pulling with the arms and pressing through the legs trains the spine to coil upward into the body. The essence: stable legs, anchored thighs, lifted chest, and faithful arm leverage create a true Supta Vajrāsana, whether in full Lotus or simplified forms. Model - Romain Prevost
