Reclining Hero Pose (Supta Virasana) 🧘‍♀️

Open your body, release deep tension, and improve flexibility with this powerful backbend.

How to do it:
Start in Hero Pose (knees together, feet beside hips). Slowly lean back, first onto your elbows, then gently lower your back to the floor. Keep your core engaged and avoid letting knees lift. Rest your hands on thighs or ribs and breathe deeply. Hold for 20–40 seconds and come up slowly.

Benefits:
• Deep stretch for thighs, hip flexors & ankles
• Improves posture and spinal flexibility
• Opens chest and enhances breathing capacity
• Helps relieve lower back stiffness
• Aids digestion by stimulating abdominal organs

Tip: If you feel discomfort in knees or back, use a cushion or stay on elbows (Option 2).
