Supine Yoga Poses (Lying on Your Back)

Supine poses are practiced lying on your back. Many are gentle and close a class, like Knees to Chest, Happy Baby and Corpse Pose; others, like Bridge and Shoulder Stand, ask for real strength. With the floor supporting the spine they are a good place to learn the breath.
