Apanasana - knees-to-chest pose
Apanasana is a relaxing supine asana often performed at the end of a yoga sequence. Apana is Sanskrit for "downward-moving life force" and asana means "pose" or "posture." As the name implies, this posture is thought to help move toxins downward, through and out of the body.
To perform apanasana, the yogi lays on his/her back and brings both knees in toward the chest, with the legs and feet together.
Apanasana is also known as knees-to-chest pose in English.
