'''Supta Virasana''' (Sanskrit: सुप्तवीरासन; IAST: suptavīrāsana) or Reclined Hero Pose is an asana.

== Etymology ==

The name comes from the Sanskrit words supta (सुप्त) meaning "reclined", and asana (आसन; āsana) meaning "posture" or "seat".

== Description ==

Supta Virasana is a reclined version of virasana where the upper body reclines backwards, so that the back rests on the floor. The arms rest on the floor to either side of the trunk, with the palms facing up.
