The pose stretches the quadriceps, hip flexors and psoas muscles, while also enhancing flexibility in the spine, knees and ankles. It can also expand the ribcage, supporting deeper, more comfortable breathing.\n\nTo perform Supta Vajrasana, one should begin by sitting in Vajrasana, then slowly lean the torso backwards from the waist using arms for support. The head should reach the floor, with only the upper part of the spine in contact with it.

As with all yoga practices, controlled movement, comfortable breathing and proper support are essential for beginners.",
