Garbha Pindasana
Garbha Pindasana (Sanskrit: गर्भ पिण्डासन, IAST: Garbha Piṇḍāsana), Embryo in Womb Pose,[1][2] sometimes shortened to Garbhasana,[3][4][5] is a seated balancing asana in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise.[7] The limb positions of Garbha Pindasana are identical to those in Uttana Kurmasana, which is illustrated in the 19th century Sritattvanidhi.The arms are threaded through behind the knees, and the hands then reach up to grasp the ears.[10] Another form is the reclining Supta Garbhasana with the ankles crossed behind the neck, the same as Yoganidrasana.[12][13] Iyengar claimed that this pose makes the blood circulate well around the abdominal organs, which are "contracted completely", keeping them "in trim".
